From my perspective as a viewer (i.e. I do not know this to be a fact) it seemed that this happened in women's tennis a few years ago. As far as I can tell, the effort was successful. The women get equal pay to the men in all the major tennis tournaments now.

I understand what you are saying dieter but there is a point where I think that less is not more.

Jan Stephenson was actively encouraged to appear in some 'provocative ' pictures a few years ago. there was a famous one of her in a bath filled with golf balls. This is a qoute from her autobiography '• Jan Stephenson: "We have to promote sex appeal. It's a fact of life. The people who watch are predominantly male, and they won't keep watching if the girls aren't beautiful."
