After thinking more on the subject,...i definately don't approve of the spraying of the women. The splashing of the women. I personally, would not go to the park just for that reason. Period.
Upon further analysis, i realize that, it really isn't ok to offer discounts to women just to get them to wear miniskirts. The idea that it would attract some people to go to the park,
just for that reason alone,kinda grosses me out actually.
My mind didn't go there.
I understand why there is a reason to be upset about it.
It is like the innocence of the world is lost.
It also makes me realize that i should be way more careful with what i post
because what i post could be taken at face value when people don't know me here.
In addition, there was sarcasm in my original statement.
I think... well hell, if they are going to do that... then the women should rise up and make the park offer them a free pass. I realize that i don't condone what the theme park is doing after reading and really thinking about it. Especially, when i put the two together. miniskirts and spraying.
I suppose there is a part of me that was arguing for them too.
Like, what? america is any better.
Also, i am not sayin this to placate anyone here on this site. I believe my mind has changed because i don't like the idea that it is a theme park. I don't go to hooters for the same reason.
what was written here, by the admin, has me thinking...

To answer your question, it *is* misogyny to treat women as "things" rather than people. That goes for marketing tools, non-consensual class-targeted ploys for "free" stuff, and any situation that puts a woman in a position of having her body used to "lure" people to a theme park.

I wonder how this could be non-consensual? the marketing is because it is out there to the public.
However, The women don't have to wear the miniskirts.
Also, the woman do not have to put themselves in that position to be used.
Ultimately, it was the Admins post that got to me...
The idea of women's bodies being used as a tool to increase sales.
Just like hooters. There is no innocence in that really.
I appreciate the post and i learned.
