I’m a temp worker & my agency asks me to dress sexily (inc what knickers to wear) for a job as a “hostess” at a boozy all male dinner where, the agency tells me, I may be groped. I agree to do the job.
A woman’s prerogative, surely? #PresidentsClub

Hostesses on nights like this means flirt with the wealthy men and get them drunk so they’ll donate more to the charity. However there’s still a line between flirting very suggestively and having to be groped etc.

Julia almost seems to be suggesting that girls who flirt (as part of the job) with the guys are asking to be sexually assaulted. Sadly she is adding to the issue where men seem to think it’s OK to just abuse women with no ramifications.

Are you seriously defending the way these women were treated on the grounds that they should have known what was expected of a "hostess"?http://www.dictionary.com/browse/hostess

The OED begs to differ. Authors like Robert McFarlane have documented the rapid change in language (and it's wider impact on knowledge and understanding). So I think your statement is wholly unfounded and completely wrong.

Despite your perceived differences between "hostesses" and "hoestesses", whatever the hell that means, l don't think it made much difference to the men groping your arse, one pretty much looked like another to them. That's the problem, we all look like meat.
