Answer 3

Disclaimer: I *love* Hooters wings, and am not offended by the scantly clad waitresses.  In fact, I kind of enjoy the eye candy.

That said, they're often opposed because they're blatant, overt sexism is offensive to many people.  They also discriminate in that they only hire female wait servers and then only female wait servers who fit their narrow "uniform".

In addition, since this is the type of atmosphere that they promote, people who oppose them also do so for many of the reasons that they oppose strip bars, because they assume that their clientèle will be alcohol soaked and testosterone charged.

The latter may be true, but IME, the clientèle is generally there to have fun and is comparable to the standard "sport bar" clientèle and I've never seen them get out of hand or require a bouncer, so I don't see this as a valid objection, but the complaints that they're sexist and discriminate are valid objections.

Of course, their justification is that they're providing entertainment, so they're no worse in my mind than any other part of the entertainment industry promoting the same unrealistic, unhealthy image of feminine beauty.
