Sagi when you first disagreed with Danica modelling you said this............
Hate to disagree with you RC; but, "using her s.e.x." to sell herself is fundamentally flawed
and deleterious to young women, in general.
If she's a good driver, that's what should do her talking for her. Not her gender.
Now you're saying it's ok if she models........in a bikini....so long as the pose is tasteful to you. You find it tasteful if she models provocatively but not if she is in a submissive or vulnerable position. This isn't real....she's modelling! She's adopting the pose her photographer/ artistic designer tells her to.
She doesn't need to only ever pose assertively to be on an equal footing with men. She IS on an equal footing. Who do you think is being exploited here? Who is laughing all the way to the bank with a multimillion sponsorship deal?
After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet!I agree with Sagi*, she should bloody show more respect to the sisterhood. How very dare she.
(*Ok, I don't agree. I think her reasoning makes no sense and seems contradictory in places. But I personally think it's a language barrier half the time - Italian decent, living in a French speaking country, with an English head of state, and who often get confused with Americans by the rest of the world - it's all got to be rather confusing. Plus add in the fact she is someone from a generation not used to communicating via the medium of modern technology, then it's bound to end in these confusing discussions.)

I didn't have a problem with her modelling, in the first place, as it's just the same as any other sort of endorsement. However,
I don't think it's necessary for her to "sell" products by "selling" herself as an object, which is what that particular shot of her is.
I know it's not real. But, as you well know, our youngsters today don't understand that. Most of our youngsters don't know who
she really is or what she has really accomplished as a race car driver. Most of our youngsters will only see her in that position,
and that's their reality. And, that's who's really being exploited!
But, you know what? Sure... it's all about the money! Who cares about principles, as long as there's a dollar sign attached, eh?
It's not only about the money. It's about Danica making choices and being in control of her destiny.
You did have a problem with her modelling in a bikini on a car. You said ..., "using her s.e.x." to sell herself is fundamentally flawed

Children of today have far more to contend with than Danica in a bikini on a car ( but hey, it's ok if she's half naked on the beach giving the come on) . Children need guiding through life not protecting from it . They need to know they have choices. And if they did see her picture and ask who it is then the answer would be a highly successful racing driver and part time model.

That's part of the "problem"... using s.e.x to sell has become so prevalent, that we've accepted it as par for the course.
Guiding children, as you know, is about a "village raising a child". How are parents supposed to teach one thing at home,
about safety this, morality that, honour here, values there, when children have to do little more than boot up technology
to find they aren't alone in "rebelling" against what may seem to them to be overly strict guides.
Anyway, this has become overly philosophical, and that's probably my fault.
I must admit. I do find Wollf much more attractive than Bo77as. Those pins are something to be admired.
