Bye bye, booth babes. IT security catwalk RSA nixes sexy outfits

Haven't read all of the comments but...

Did anyone consider this from the booth babes perspectives?

Presumably they aren't being forced at gunpoint to attend these conventions and wear the outfits provided for them? Has anyone asked them if they mind being looked at given the amount of time, effort and sometimes money it takes to get/keep the figure/looks/image they have? Or if, in fact, given that this appears to be a line of work they not only choose to be but as aforementioned have to work hard to be in they might actually enjoy the attention?

Has anyone asked them if they'll miss the income they get from these events? Or the extra bits it adds to their portfolios?

I'm all for equality and I'd have no beef against the companies utilising booth hunks too for the ladies and gents that appreciate them.

If these girls were unwilling and felt forced/objectified then surely they'd choose a different path?

Just asking.

But I do sometimes wonder why the blokes in IT are still so terrified of women.
