Name: Laura Woodhouse on Feb 29, 2008Comments: Female employees at the Hooters chain are contractually obliged to put up with sexual harrassment in order to earn a wage. This is exploitation, and should not be tolerated, let alone condoned, by Sheffield Council.Flag

Name: Samantha Holland on Feb 29, 2008Comments: This is especially disgusting given the document employees have to sign: Why should they have to agree with what Hooters does, especially if they're just desperate for work! I certainl don't think Hooters is the type of business to encourage in Sheffield. It dies not sit well with the city's political consciousness, nor with Leopold Square's other businesses.Flag

Name: Mary Grover on Mar 1, 2008Comments: Having worked with young women in my career aws as school teacher, FE lecturer and now university teacher, I have seen the pressures that lead women to accept the kind of treatment that employment at Hooters entails. I deplore the fact that a council traditionally committed to protecting of the vulnerable should condone the opening of such a bar. If it opens I will do all I can to persuade sure that people of my generation who would usually use the other bars in the Leopold boycott the whole development .Flag

Name: Maura Healy on Mar 1, 2008Comments: Sheffield needs a distinct ethos. We have been waiting 20years to see the city centre re-create itself after it's post- Meadowhall collapse. and is this the brave new vision Is there seriously no view from the planners as to what constitutes a woman and family friendly city centre.Flag

Name: Matthew Motyka on Mar 1, 2008Comments: I believe that to open up such an establishment is not only morally objectionable but several steps backwards in the city's efforts to counter gender inequality. It merely reasserts the misogynistic belief that women can be bought and played with. If this establishment, which tries to mask its exploitative intentions behind a facade of "entertainment", opens, as planned, it will surely signal a rise in cases of rape within the city. I do not wish to see this happen to Sheffield, which I'd assumed was a forward-thinking city. It seems I was wrong.Flag

Name: Lucy McCarthy on Mar 2, 2008Comments: The 'entertainment' value of an establishment such as Hooters is designed solely to provide an environment where the basest kind of sexism is openly acceptable. It's really sad how women are forced to continually voice how wretched the whole thing is. I think that to some people, environments like Hooters might seem like okay places to work when they haven't actually done so, but the reality is that the actual experience is worse than most people can imagine. The truth is, being constantly objectified physically will always end up having a detrimental effect on a person and their ability to interact healthily with others. Suppporters of such establishments are disasterously short-sighted.Flag
