Yeah, that's fucked. HOWEVER, I would have been super okay with it if he meant "sham" as in pointing out that these women clearly got married for unacceptable reasons ... given that they openly said "weddings are for making money". Pardon???

I'm still so confused by that — exposure and networking to what end, if many of these brass ring gigs (that you would presumably be networking towards getting) don't pay you, anyway?? This seems outrageously exploitative.

This is grounds for children being removed from the home, yes?

GAH! Your description of kissing will now HAUNT ME!
