I do agree... But I think it might be an overreaction to say it cheapens women in sport. A womens rugby team was recently required to be photographed in lingerie to raise some money for the club. I thought that was far more sexist than getting someone whose only legally chargeable skill is walking in front of some darts players.

If this is the GB rugby squad, it was to highlight something, and not to raise money for the squad.

Is this suggesting that rugby is viewed somehow differently/note favourably?

Because University rugby teams are literally the biggest heap of utter bellends I've yet to encounter, anywhere, at all, in my entire life. The actual worst.

Do you find the walk on girls sexy?

I did answer that and said that I don't find anything about it sexy in the slightest. I'm sorry if that's not the answer you want?

Are you asking if I think they're objectively good looking? I'm sure I'd think some of them are, some of them aren't. I don't find 20 year olds sexy or attractive in any way. I fundamentally disagree with the premise that older men will "always" be more attracted to younger women. Girls in their 20's look like teenagers to me. There's nothing sexy about that. I saw it differently when I was Mock's age, because they weren't much younger than me. I find the picture posted of the old man looking in the mirror and seeing himself as a young man in his 20's (and thus excusing being still attracted to much younger women) a false and abhorrent thing to normalise about men. We ain't all like that. The idea that we "secretly are" is BS.

But apparently some of them are older so maybe I'd agree that some of them are attractive? I doubt they all look the same? How can anyone say that every last one is attractive/sexy ... What a wide net to cast. It's always going to be subjective.

Even if I did think they were attractive, seeing the walk-on darts parade would be immediately and completely un-sexy.

If you're really that nosy about what gets me going though Parmy, for some reason... Here it is - what I find sexy has nothing to do with anything you can gatger from a picture or seeing someone on telly. So even the age-appropriate ones, I can't tell you if I think they're "sexy". I haven't met them.

That's all a bit long winded so here's the short answer;

"Do I look at darts walk on girls and think ooh how sexy"

The answer is "no".

Was the entire women's Rugby team obliged to do that? If so then that's bad, because some of them will have been coerced into doing it.
