"the waitresses' naughty nurse uniforms...skimpy, cleavage-baring outfits, high heels and thigh-high stockings — a male fantasy that some nursing organizations say is an insult to the profession."Um....wouldn't nurse* complaints be less ironic if the spokeperson wasn't someone with the name "Sandy Summers"? I think that was the name of Tall Brad's dancer last weekend.
And I truly hope the nurse talking about not sexualizing professionals has never been to a bachelorette party with a firefighter or fantasized about a guy in military uniform or a cowboy... I do understand the difference, but it's getting to be less of a point these days. I don't think I'd ever make that statement - it would just come back to bite me.

"If anything, I think it glorifies nurses to be thought of as a physically attractive and desirable individual," Basso said. "There's a Faye Dunaway, Florence Nightingale hipness to it. Nobody wants to think of themselves as some old battle ax who changes bedpans for a living."
Uuuum, "glorified?" I don't think so. Yeah, yeah. All sorts of professions get sexualized, but you have to admit nursing has all sorts of stereotyping. Battle ax, sexy nurse, bitches, etc.
As if a "sexy nurse" or any woman would **at all** be interested in overweight fatties porking out on 2,000 calorie burgers.
Ew.
