The National Organization of Women is showing why it is a group of leaches

The NOW at some point was an organization to be taken serious. Not that I agreed with much of what they wanted (e.g. Equal Rights Amendment) but at least the were involved in serious issues.

Now you see something like this.

NOW goes after Hooters for catering to kids

SAN FRANCISCO -- The National Organization for Women filed complaints against local Hooters restaurants Thursday, but not for exploiting its scantily clad waitresses by subjecting them to leering and groping customers.

The subject this time was Hooters' catering to children.

The restaurants in San Francisco, San Bruno, Sacramento and Orange County are classified as "adult entertainment" establishments but also serve minors, NOW's California chapter said in papers filed with police and prosecutors.

What's more, the organization said, Hooters provides child menus, high chairs and booster seats, and sells T-shirts in children's sizes that identify the wearer as a "Future Hooters Girl."

Patricia Bellasalma, NOW's California president, asserted that Hooters is violating state and local laws prohibiting sexually oriented "adult" businesses from serving minors. The chain is also violating federal employment standards, she said...
OK, I think when there are legitimate issues for women in the area (underage pregenacies, children and poverty, etc) and all they can be concerned about is a kid looking at a Hooter Girl. Somehow I don't see real feminists worried about this grave issue.
