    If you want to see how men's magazines discuss her ...

    ...just put Danica Patrick ingo Google Images.

    There's something really distasteful about her in a bikini in men's mags. I think it's that her skill has nothing to do with her looks, and yet somehow, she managed to take her clothes off for money in promotion of herself and her sport. She chose to do it, very likely she has no qualms about it, being the extremely competitive woman that she is, in the quest for self-promotion.

    It's that the photos are so tasteless, esp this one:

    It makes her look undignified. The vinyl bikini with the buttcrack... not good.
