However I do think it's best to avoid such stereotypes in a serious discussion, especially considering we're only talking about women choosing to work in a position where they have to dress in a way that's deemed sexy.
If women don't want the role, they can avoid it.

The objectification of women (and if you do want to extend it to Hollywood, men as well) is insidious and damaging and saying that "the ones who don't want to do it can avoid it" is reductive, lacks insight and ultimately IMO comes purely from a place of defensiveness.
I'm stereotyping Darts because instead of leaning into being seen as a more professional/respectable sport, they're choosing to go back to the old ways of trotting half-naked ladies out to "pretty up" their events. Is the sport not engaging enough to stand on its own merits? People are arguing hard that it is. Without then questioning why they're doing this
.
And then it transpired that
it's only for the seniors 
. Slimey as ****, I have literally no issue at all with saying that 50+ year old men who want 20 year olds with their boobs out to make the dart more entertaining to them are gross, perving trogs. Straight in the bin. The ones who say "Err we don't need that in our sport thanks, gross" can stay. Where's the stereotyping?
