Female air stewards have long been objectified and sexualized, with many airlines online employing petite and slender women.
The sexualization of air travel goes as far back as the 1930's.
One 1936 article says girls who qualify for 'hostesses' positions must be 'petite, weight 100 to 118 pounds, height 5 feet to 5 feet 4 inches, age 20 to 26 years'.
Applicants had to pledge they wouldn't get married or become pregnant, and risked getting fired if they did, according to
The Civil Rights Act was signed on 1964, but by the end of the 1960's, stewardesses still has to be single, childless, thin, pretty and young in order to fulfill their role of entertaining men in the sky.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
