I agree, it's definitely not degrading to many women who do modeling etc.
I also think it isn't degrading for many women who work as prostitutes or in other forms of sexual entertainment (stripping etc).
I also think that some women would feel degraded by working as swimsuit models. It's definitely up to the individual woman.
In fact if I had to flip burgers for a living I would feel degraded, humiliated, and at a loss of self esteem. But I think I could take some money for sex a few times without nearly as much damage.
