Formula 1: 'Grid Kids' to Replace 'Grid Girls' From Start of the Season

http://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/42950040

Formula 1 is to replace 'grid girls' with a new programme called 'grid kids' this season.

F1 bosses plan to use budding racing drivers "to make the pre-race ceremony more relevant and interesting for fans, especially the younger ones".

The sport said last week it would no longer be using female promotional models on the starting grid.



The children used will be competitors in karting or junior categories, chosen by national motorsport authorities.

A joint statement from governing body the FIA and the F1 Group said the choice would be made "on merit or by lottery".

FIA president Jean Todt said: "Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport and the dream of every young racer competing the junior series that make up the FIA's single-seater pyramid, from karting all the way to F1.

"We are therefore delighted to bring that dream a little closer by giving the future champions of our sport the opportunity to stand alongside their heroes on the grid in the build-up to the race start.



"For the wider FIA, this is an excellent initiative that provides additional support to our member (sporting authorities) in their efforts to grow motorsport worldwide through a unique reward they can make available to youngsters participating in their national series."

F1 managing director of commercial operations Sean Bratches said he hoped the opportunity to "stand beside their heroes" would be for the children chosen "an unforgettable experience for them and their families" and "an inspiration to keep driving, training and learning so that they can dream of one day being there themselves".

He added: "What better way to inspire the next generation of Formula 1 heroes?"

Bratches said last week that using 'grid girls' "does not resonate with our brand values and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms".

A Male Backlash Against #MeToo is Brewing



https://nypost.com/2018/02/03/a-male-backlash-against-metoo-is-brewing/

Men are scared, and feminists are delighted. But the urge to call out and punish male sexual transgression is bound to clash with an inescapable truth: We’re all in this together, men and women.

Consider what’s happening in the capital of Florida. Female staffers and lobbyists have found “many male legislators will no longer meet with them privately,” reported the Miami Herald. “I had a senator say, ‘I need my aide here in the room because I need a chaperone,’ ” lobbyist Jennifer Green told the paper. “I said, ‘Senator, why do you need a chaperone? . . . Do you feel uncomfortable around me?’ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘anyone can say anything with the door shut.’ ”

“I’m getting the feeling that we’re going back 20 years as female professionals,” said Green, who owns her company. “I fully anticipate I’m going to be competing with another firm that is currently owned by some male, and the deciding factor is going to be: ‘You don’t want to hire a female lobbying firm in this environment.’ ”

This kind of thinking is catching on in aggressively P.C. Silicon Valley, where men are taking to message boards like Reddit to express interest in sex segregation — sometimes labeled “Men Going Their Own Way,” or the “Man-o-Sphere.” How will that work out for women in the tech industry, where they already face substantial challenges?

Across industries, “Several major companies have told us they are now limiting travel between the genders,” Johnny Taylor, president of the Society for Human Resource Management, told the Chicago Tribune, citing execs who tell men not to go on business trips or share rental cars with women co-workers. UCLA psychologist Kim Elsesser, the author of “Sex and the Office,” sees a nascent “sex partition.” If men start to back away from women, at least in professional settings, it’s difficult to see how that will aid the feminist cause.

As is characteristic of movements led by the left in general, #MeToo faces the prospect of being seen to push too far, too fast. Not long ago, the British magazine The Spectator depicted the cause as a feminist Reformation, with a modern woman nailing her demands to the door of a church like Martin Luther. These days the entirely justified anger and calls for change are venturing into iconoclasm: Let’s knock over some innocent statues and shatter all those stained-glass windows!

‘Several major companies have told us they are now limiting travel between the genders.’

- Johnny Taylor, president, Society for Human Resource Management

Outraged feminists triggered by “Thérèse Dreaming,” a suggestive 1938 painting of a clothed pubescent girl by the Polish-French artist Balthus, demanded the Metropolitan Museum of Art remove it. (The Met, to its credit, refused.) Moms are dressing their sons in humiliating “The Future Is Female” T-shirts. The women’s website Bustle banned the word “flattering” because it implies there’s an ideal shape for a woman, and we all know women aren’t interested in looks.

Companies are firing perverts and sexual harassers, which is great, but those who can’t find any bad behavior to punish are casting around angrily, looking for random things to attack. Jordan Peterson, the University of Toronto professor and author of the bestseller “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos,” who has become a YouTube sensation by rebutting crazy left-wing students, has been lambasted on social media for citing sociological studies that say women are more agreeable in the workplace and suffer some salary repercussions because of it. Although this is essentially a restatement of the thinking behind “Lean In” — if you want it, push for it — Peterson found himself being subjected to an absurdly hostile interview by British broadcaster Cathy Newman in a confrontation that went viral and led to more abuse being heaped on Peterson.

Writing in The American Interest, Claire Berlinski calls the #MeToo movement “a frenzied extrajudicial warlock hunt that does not pause to parse the difference between rape and stupidity” and “a classic moral panic, one that is ultimately as dangerous to women as to men.” She tells a story about how she just discovered she has a new power: the power to ruin the career of a professor she knew at Oxford who grabbed her butt 20 years ago while drunk at a party. “I was amused and flattered,” she writes, saying, “I knew full well he’d been dying to do that. Our tutorials — which took place one-on-one with no chaperones — were livelier intellectually for that sublimated undercurrent. He was an Oxford don and so had power over me . . . But I also had power over him — power sufficient to cause a venerable don to make a perfect fool of himself at a Christmas party. Unsurprisingly, I loved having that power.”

Reformers should keep her underlying point in mind: Change may be good, but be wary of unintended consequences. Turning men and women into hostile opposing camps is not going to be good for either sex.

It’s not that hard to not sexually assault someone

Feminist tactics causing women to be even more isolated in the workplace.

Hiring managers definitely going with male candidates to avoid the possibility of and expensive legal battle. Smh

So guys are gonna flourish out here?
Or will it just be white guys who won't "complain"?

PS - Agreed with Arianna up there.

When a take a rightful cause and turn it into a witch hunt because you've tasted power and wanna abuse it, you start losing the people.

As the Late Great George Carlin said "isn't it funny how a feminist isn't someone you wanted to F in the first place?"

but anyways.... wouldn't being around the racetrack be harmful to the childs undeveloped lungs breathing in the fumes?

Just a bad idea to have kids doing this in general.

They should hold her accountable for the manager's death. This 'movement' is damn near bullying & shaming at this point.

 

[shogun]

mcgowan should blame herself for reaching a settlement. I don’t know the details but she should’ve been trying to get him locked up. Now she’s profiting off of this by having a book.

She's whack AF. This whole thing reeks of a publicity/marketing stunt and now a person is dead too.

 

[shogun]

If she got raped then I feel bad for her and she has a right to be angry but she seems to be going after everyone’s neck and blaming whoever she can. Blaming your ex-manager who is bipolar and battling depression isn’t a good look.

 

[wr]

Rose McGowan all this was fine when she was young and cute. Get a little age and lose some beauty and all of a sudden you're a activist smh. These toxic feminist smh

Nah, suicide is usually no one's fault but the person committing it

 

[hand2handking]

i was under the impression that mcgowans manager knew she was molested and did nothing about it

like she was the one who encouraged her to take the settlement

and then went to work for weinstein after

her depression i thought was a result of her guilt over mcgowan

like maybe its not that they get old and lose looks but maybe what they thought was their looks getting them ahead earlier in life they later see was just being taken advantage of

and suicide is usually the persons "fault" but there are times ppl are bullied into it and other times when they need help and are encouraged

I just think it will foster the culture of silence. These dudes got the cheat codes to Hollywood and have made money for a while. Same applies to other areas where this happens.



I also think it's naive to benefit off your looks like that then turnaround and complain about the benefit you received that gave you the platform to be heard once your looks faded.
That's why I said it's all good and gravy when you're young and cute. Now that you're older you wanna turn activist when you still benefit from playing the game.

But you wore this on the red carpet. Man please

To this

 

[Nouss]

Random opinion: Ill never blame a child getting bullied for committing suicide.

I know its a different situations on but nah im not gonna blame the victim.
