. . . it seems you and Daverz (and others) are exploiting this tragedy to try to enforce your own notions of propriety, political correctness, or whatever it is on others.
Neither of you have provided a single example of a (excuse me) babe musician who seems at all to be offended by use of the term. In fact, it's just the opposite: the Dutch documentary on Janine Jansen emphasized how much of her schedule is devoted to photo shoots and the like. If she weren't exploiting her own "babe" status, why would she be devoting so much time to it? And JJ is by no means the only one who operates her career in this manner.
