I love that the anti-babe contingent considers itself to be on the 'respect for women' side of things. Right. In the same sense that the 'let's keep our women shrouded' population of the world claims to be protecting them.
Let's get real here.
The anti-babe folks here hate women. They are unable to celebrate in a female musician's beauty. They resent that someone blessed with musical talent could also be blessed with physical beauty. They are intimidated by female flesh. A bare shoulder is too much for them. They cannot emotionally handle an image of an attractive female and rather than admit how much it excites them they rail against it so no one will know the truth.
Why the grudge against beautiful female musicians? Has being physically repulsive to women over the course of their lives caused a deep resentment that they suffer from? If any of you anti-babe folks are beautiful then please post a pic to prove it.

Are you kidding. Who has said I don't appreciate a women's beauty? I don't appreciate referring to women as babe. By the way I need to ask Chris since you are in the musical world, when you meet some of these female violinists do you say, " Hey Babe, how are you doing." or would you feel it was inappropriate?

I always use their names or nicknames, just as I did in the OP of this thread. A very high percentage of the high-school and college girls I work with are in fact babes however!Many years ago, I did run in to a cellist who told me that one of her other acquaintances always greeted her with the words, "Hey, babe!". Far from being offended by this, she was rather amused by it and found it rather endearing - part of the other person's charm.
It's presumptuous to think that one can speak for all women and lay down laws of political correctness by forbidding the use of a harmless descriptor. If a girl told me she didn't like the use of the word, babe, then of course I wouldn't use it (not that I do anyway). When some guy on a discussion board tells me not to use that word, I start to wonder how this kind of arrogance originated.

Babe is very 20-30 years ago. IME the musicians you speak of prefer to be called hot or hotties.
Yes, no doubt they LOVE it when people call them that. Particularly accompanying and preferably preceeding any discussion of their playing.
Do you work in construction?

So eager to be the defender of womanhood and yet so arrogant to cast aspersions on an entire class of workers.
Guilty of the same sort of thing you're whining about.
Why are you stereotyping construction workers? Seems kind like a sexist objectification of a group of people who do very important work.
You're trying a bit too hard
It felt effortless. What is it you think I was "trying?"
Nope, I am a makeup artist.

I'm always suspicious of males who adopt the roles of protectors of womanhood.
All of the shrouded women in the world are the beneficiaries of such protection.
There are the fortunate women made to hide behind sheets at public gatherings by the males who care for them so very much.
And then there are the fathers who are so protective and obsessed with their daughter's sexuality that they hold public 'purity balls' at which the daughter pledges her virginity to her father until she marries.
Last but not least, the female musicians of the world are protected and defended by the Music Lane anti-babers.
Imagine if the anti-babers took over the music world. There would be a chaperone at every concert to be sure female musicians dressed modestly before appearing in public. A censor would be present at each photo shoot to ensure not too much of that titillating skin showed up on album covers. And the anti-babe contingent would be content and at peace.
Not to mention operas such as "Salome". ;-)
