The only problem I have with places like that is that they make me feel incredibly insecure about my own body. I'm not campaigning for a boycott or anything, but I really wish there was more diversity in the kinds of women they hired instead of reinforcing the current beauty standard by only hiring women who fit within it.

I've never been to a hooters though, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

CIS male, been to a hooter once or twice with work friends who insisted their hot chicken sandwiches/wings are good. I didn't really like that style (Buffalo style hot sauce isn't for me, as I grew up on stuff like Scotch Bonnet peppers and fin Buffalo mostly vinegary than hot or flavorful), and I've never felt comfortable ogling staff that has to put up with my bullshit(or lack thereof).

It's just an uncomfortable restaurant.

The one Hooters I ever went to did have a large woman working there.

She was the hostess and they kept her covered up and let the conventionally attractive women wait tables.

I wonder if that was even legal?
