Who Could Possibly Have a Problem with “Booth Babes”?

Oh, let me see… WOMEN! Women who work in this field and visit CES:
“Some women at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas have expressed their frustration at the scantily-clad “booth babes” hired by some companies to promote their stalls.”
Video at the link for the full misogyny of it.
The assumption is that only men will go to such events, and therefore, no one will notice the objectification and will assume that this is what they will want to see.
That !@#$ is othering and dehumanizing to the women being “booth babes” and the women who work in that field.
