A Hooters restaurant (and I use that term loosely) recently posted a sign saying that they wouldn’t serve San Diego Mayor Bob Filner because they believe, and I am not making this up, that “women should be treated with respect.”

When I commented upon this on a liberal Facebook page, I had a number of people who agreed but many more saying something along the lines of “Hey, those women have every right to be proud of their sexuality” and so on.

Well, that’s true. I am certainly not one to advocate closing Hooters simply because they only hire women who are good-looking and fire them if they gain weight. If women want to take those jobs, let them.

But don’t go kidding yourself and think that strutting around in shorts and a tight t-shirt while working in a place called “Hooters” where you are hired primarily because of how you look is the same thing as “respect.”
