Via Sociological Images. It’s from a slideshow on USA Today for coffee shops that have scantily clad waitresses as their main specialty. This is frustrating me greatly to see over and over again, so I’m just going to say that I am so tired of being a member of the sex class, here only to be looked over sexually by men, and to serve men. Note how the men being served seem to be older and unattractive in this picture, but an older, unattractive woman would never be hired in such a position. Such is the plight of the sex class; when you aren’t conventionally attractive, then you are pushed even lower than sex class status, and it’s sick.
