Amid a brave new world of sexual consent forms and rage over the "patriarchy," Formula 1 and its FAI ruling body has decided to ban the use of promotional models, known as "grid girls," from its events because they don't "resonate with [the] brand values [of F1] and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms."
Whose societal norms? Has anyone checked out a college campus lately?

Instead of Grid Girls, meet "Grid Kids!"
Replacing the Grid Girls will be F1's new "Grid Kids" initiative - which is designed to entice younger fans to "get involved" in the racing sport - despite the fact that the program is only available to children who are already involved in a local motorsport club.
“The joint initiative will involve the local Grand Prix promoter working alongside ASNs – the FIA-recognised national sporting authorities – who will provide a unique opportunity to youngsters and their families to be part of one of the most exclusive and exciting moments of the whole race weekend,” F1 said in a statement.
Participants will be chosen by merit or lottery, and will be able to accompany the world's 20 best drivers at every Grand Prix - much to the chagrin of fans who were hoping to see scantily clad adult women at the events.

The move by F1 follows a similar move by the Professional Darts Corporation banned walk-on girls from its competitions. Because dart competitions are just as fun without the girls.
As Brutalist reports, the girls aren't taking this sitting down:
Rebecca Cooper, a five time F1 grid girl, said on Twitter that it is "ridiculous that women who say they are 'fighting for women's rights' are saying what others should and shouldn't do, stopping us from doing a job we love and are proud to do. [It is] political correctness gone mad."
Cooper also implied that grid girls have been misrepresented and put together a photograph collage to highlight that women who work in her trade are not "scantily clad furniture" and that the outfits are more modest.
So the inevitable has happened, F1 gridgirls have been banned. Ridiculous that women who say they are "fighting for women's rights" are saying what others should and shouldn't do, stopping us from doing a job we love and are proud to do. PC gone mad 😡 #Gridgirls

"Scantily clad furniture", "sexualising women", "provocative", "Id never let my daughter wear a grid girl outfit"... just some of today's comments, yet people clearly haven't dont their research as these are my outfits from my 5 years in F1 #gridgirl #gridgirls pic.twitter.com/etbcCPnCC1

So what do the people of twitter think? Should there be grid girls in F1? After a lot of debate on my profile over the past 24h I'd like to see what the actual general public think #gridgirl #gridgirls

For Michelle Westby, working as a promotional model in motorsports led to a successful career as a stunt driver and a drift racing driver.
Alot of people asking my view on the grid girl ban situation , well check out my page for my view https://t.co/F9CC1g23EI pic.twitter.com/6RRznAXBGE

Westby elaborated over Facebook:
If it wasn't for grid work / promotional modelling, I wouldn't be where I am now in a 'male dominated' sport and job as a stunt driver and drift competition driver, inspiring and influencing females into this 'intimidating male environment.' I get girls messaging me all the time saying how I inspire them and made them want to get into racing and drifting when they didn't think they would be accepted… What people don't realise, is that the girls have knowledge of the products and teams they are promotion — that's part of the job. We get a brief on the uniform but it's up to us if we feel comfortable in it. We are more clothed than what teenagers wear down the supermarkets. I'm now retired but to think girls have lost a lot of important income because feminists think they know best, when they really haven't got a clue, is frustrating.
Fans and Grid Girls alike took to Twitter to denounce the decision, using the hashtag #Gridgirl
Lots of smiles over the years,tell me again how this isn’t my choice! #gridgirl #demontweeks #icd #rolex #leyland pic.twitter.com/USrAa1KB8S

Progressive feminists: ALLOW WOMEN TO ECPRESS THEMSELVES SEXUALLY. FREE THE NIPPLE. LET WOMEN BE SEXY ON TV.
— Proxee • プロクシ ☁️ (@theproxee) February 2, 2018
Also progressive feminists: grid girls should be banned cuz they are too sexy & they use that sexiness to market a male sport. No no no no no no.#gridgirl
"Girls Can Do Anything....". Except pursue a modelling career or make some money being a #GridGirl. Feminism. Hilarious!
— MLo (@MLoParis) February 1, 2018
I was right all along. Modern #Feminism is not about #Equality it's about women telling other women what to do. If a woman wants to be a #GridGirl then that's her choice and nobody else's.

Very sad that F1 has succumbed to Political Correctness. It is, of course, controlled by Americans now.
Sad also that the opinions of the "Grid Girls" themselves don't matter and that they became involved of their own free will, which actually is freedom. Had they considered it demeaning in any way, they would just have said no. But of course, the whole point of PC is not to protect the interests of minorities and women but to control, divide and conquer by placing power in the hands of a different extreme minority; in this case mostly sad old lesbians, ugly bitter bitches who can't attract men and third-wave feminists whose agenda is not to represent the majority of women but to score points for themselves and their own convoluted agenda. There are 7 Billion of "us" and few thousand of "them" so "they" have to keep "us" at each others' throats to remain in control.
Without a bit of glamour, F! becomes just another "grease and noise" event and this decision has left a very bad taste in my mouth to the point that I plan not to go out of my to watch races this upcoming season. And that is not only because I will miss the glamour but more so that I am sick and tired of PC and Organisations that succumb to it because of their "progressive" values.

The SJWs need to face reality: Generally, hot chicks actually like being hot. And you know what? That's OK. Nobody is forcing them.

"They want all the hot women of the world placed in black sacks..."
There is a whole lot more truth to that statement than you may know. Feminism is a lot about acquiring a political right to be considered attractive...therefore all women must be made equal to each other, especially the hot ones that get all the action. Sexual form of socialism.
Socialism seeks to equalize economic prosperity by force and feminism seeks to equalize sexual prosperity by force. Both socialism and feminism seek a rejection of the social contract in exchange for forced equality.

Hold on folks. This seems to be fake news. I didn't see any where in the article of SJW's complaining. It was a "conservative" decision by the Liberty Media/F1 owner, who by the way, is also a big Trump supporter. Turns out, he's just a tight ass family man/conservative. Nothing to do with SJW influence, at least none that I've found yet.

In one of our staff meetings (big three Aerospace), a few years back, they'd turn off the lights to watch the latest news on video. The first scene was a quiet and sunny ocean setting, sparkling waves out there and suddenly a huge white sub-launched ICBM burst through the water in slow motion, looking like a giant, smooth dildo! Everybody went quiet as we watched it erupt from the water, like a giant nuclear penis. Nobody said a word.
They quit showing underwater missile launches after that one...

I find it unfortunate that brilliant women are lauded by succeeding in intellectual pursuits, but brilliant-looking women are castigated for succeeding in areas that require a certain degree of beauty.
Perhaps we should prohibit everyone from using their God-given attributes to succeed, and instead just distribute jobs based on a lottery system. Imagine the NBA if it was comprised of randomly selected males and females. Who would watch? After all, it simply isn't fair that those tall, athletic darkly complected men are so much more accomplished at playing that sport than, say, the average five foot two inch Chinese female.
