Feminazis get Formula 1 Grid Girls banned costing them their jobs: girls fight back

Formula 1 grid girls have been told to leave motor sports, but they're making one last stand on social media.
Just a few days after the Professional Darts Corporation banned its walk-on girls, Formula 1 followed the same path by banning the use of promo models, commonly called grid girls, commencing with the start of the 2018 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season.
The role of grid girls is to conduct promotional tasks on behalf of blue chip sponsors. They wear clothing bearing the name of the sponsor, interact with the crowd, and carry driver name boards on the grid.
In a short statement on the Formula 1 website on Wednesday, commercial operations director Sean Bratches said the custom of using grid girls "does not resonate with [the] brand values [of F1] and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms."

Now, the women who have been left out of work as a result are fighting back on social media.
Rebecca Cooper, a five time F1 grid girl, said on Twitter that it is "ridiculous that women who say they are 'fighting for women's rights' are saying what others should and shouldn't do, stopping us from doing a job we love and are proud to do. [It is] political correctness gone mad."

I love my job. I’m respected, paid well & proud to represent the team I’m working for. It’s not right for anyone, let alone ‘feminists’ to judge our job when quite frankly they are putting so many women out of work. Where is the equality & empowerment here? #GridGirls #F1

No one hates women more than other women.
And NO HATRED is worse than that of "feminists" against good looking women.
This is why Camille Paglia hates them so.

I guess they'll next go after the ring girls at boxing and MMA matches?

I'm assuming that some fat , ugly feminazis were jealous of the hot girls.. so they put the hot girls out of work under the guise of female empowerment.

I wonder if they would have a problem if the Grid Girl’s were plus sized water-buffaloes like them

Grid Girls are just one of the myriad reasons F1 kicks NASCAR's arse.

I hear they did this to those dart chicks too. Why are people caving into to feminazis at a time when TRUMP is Our President?
Obama is gone now people, you don't have to give into these crazy frickers!

Well, if any them weren't Trump voters before, they probably will be now...
Progressives seem to lack understanding that they have overplayed their hand.

Former Madame Secretary Hillary Clinton is an example of a woman not hating other women.
LINK
It reads:
Hillary Clinton responded Tuesday night to revelations that she kept a senior adviser on her campaign staff in 2008, even after the adviser was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a subordinate colleague.
"The short answer is this: If I had it to do again, I wouldn't," Clinton wrote online, in a seeming nod to the #MeToo movement of the last year.

Envy is arguably the worst of the seven deadly sins.
It’s the foundation for breeding hatred and resentment of another person.
And resentment causes people to become horrible human beings. Just look at the concept of Social Justice Warriors for proof. An ideology claiming to champion social justice, but is really just people drowning in envy and resentment fabricating an excuse to tear down their target solely to make themselves feel superior at their expense.

Exactly. She's dead-on when it comes to feminists.

In other words "if I had know this would be discovered I would have covered my substantial arse. As it was I was certain it would never see the light of day so I allowed the gentleman to continue about his business of sexually harassing women."

shite I can't wait for this. I was hung over AF on a buddy's couch after the McGregor/Mayweather fight and happened upon a race. Dovizioso and Marquez showed me the best 20 secs of any type of racing I've ever seen, with least 4 or 5 insane lead changes in the last turns of the race. They followed up with another epic battle the next race, and I am now hooked like a crack fiend.
These guys are out of their fricking minds and it's awesome.

Go see one live. Crazy. MM is about as dominant as I’ve seen since Stoner and Rossi.

Erin, she did something about it apparently, while also giving him a second chance, knowing up his chain of command were all females and he had an obvious illness.
Mr. Strider reportedly blew his second chance. The victim has thrived.

Would be fun. I like the camera angles on tv tho. They're going 80-100 mph around curves and missing each other by an inch or two while they fight for position. It's mindblowing.
