Question

Hooters arguments.

Hooters is well known for only hiring females of a certain body type for their waitress positions. Is it ethical for Hooters to discriminate in their hiring practices? Give 4 arguments.

Answer 1

ANS- Argument-1  Hooters is what has been called a "breastaurant," a dining establishment that often features scantily clad women to cater to a male clientele. As such, the "Hooters Girl," the company argues, is an essential part of its business. In an interview when Mangers was asked why they only prefer to hire females

they answer-We're proud of who we are. Yes, we have a pretty face. And sex appeal is part of our thing, but it's not the only thing ... There will always be those out there looking to take a shot at us or have the government dictate what we can or can't do, but we'll just take it in stride and continue our quest to provide a fun, enlightened atmosphere where you can enjoy the finer things in life.

Argument-2  In a statement to Business Insider, Hooters confirmed its argument that its hiring of women-only servers complies with BFOQ requirements; Typically, gender-based hiring is not permitted. The law allows discrimination when it is necessary for the purpose of authenticity or genuineness as for an actor or fashion model. While we offer world famous wings and burgers, the essence of our business is the Hooters Girl and the experience she provides to our customers. Hooters Girls are entertainers. They audition for their roles and, once hired, they must maintain a glamorous appearance, and sing, dance and engage the customers to provide a unique Hooters experience.

Argument-3 Frankly it seems that most of the arguments against Hooters stem back to the way the waitresses are dressed. "But it's about their safety in the workplace!" There is no way to spin this argument so that it doesn't lead back to the belief that what a woman wears is a reason for a person to rape, sexually assault, or otherwise disrespect her. Such an argument implies that men can't control themselves and women need to compensate accordingly. It falls into the same category as school dress codes that disproportionately regulate girls' clothing so as not distract the boys.

Argument-4 Feminism gives women agency over their bodies: too with them as they please so long as they do not infringe on the rights of others. Logically comes the right to dress in any way under the code of law without facing societal backlash. On the surface, opposition to Hooters may be construed opposition to the sexualization of women, but this line of thinking disregards the waitresses' capacity to make decisions about their appearance or where they work. It boils down to being able to think for yourself: to understanding that being okay with strip clubs logically implies that you must be okay with Hooters, too
