Are there lots of men prostitutes or is it overwhelming women? Are most pornographic magazines geared toward women or men? Are women and men treated equally in the porno movies? Are most strip joints women strippers or men strippers?

I stand by my point, more women make money showing their stuff than men do. Hooter's wasn't named that because they are showing off birds.

Ahem. 'Beuds' are 'chicks'. :) From the English2American.com dictionary:

bird n. pron. "beud" (London); "burd" (Scotland). Woman. Again. Well, not really. Bird is used when one is looking upon the fairer sex with a slightly more carnal eye. It's not quite at the stage of treating women as objects but the implication is certainly there. Likely to be used in the context "I shagged some random bird last night" (a popular usage) or "hey, Andy, I think those birds over there are looking at us". You'd never describe your grandmother as a bird. It's popular in Scotland to refer to one's girlfriend as "ma burd" but do it in front of her and you'll be choking teeth. About the only thing worse would be to call her "ma bint", which will warrant a foot in the testicles and a loose tongue concerning your sexual prowess. I am told the word itself is derived from the old norse word for "woman". The nearest equivalent to bird in US English is probably chick.

Oh, I get it! Hooters is like the marijuana of porn...it leads to strip jobs, porn appearances and then prostitution. I never knew that before.

If you have a gripe against the porn industry, then you are rightly justified. If you think Hooters is the equivalent of either a strip club or a porn movie, you are quite delusional.

I've been to Hooters once. There were no nekkid people, no obvious perverts, no lap dances, nothing more erotic than a tank top worn by a pleasant waitress who was busy waitressing, and earning decent tips by doing what waiters and waitresses do everywhere...serving food and drink. If the wings were any good, I'd go back, but I didn't personally care for them. Some people do.

If the cheerleader had been appearing in porno movies, or arrested for prostitution, the university would have a point. As it is, they appear ridiculous.
