Oh for real? Well I just watched 2 interviews yesterday with porn stars who had nothing but glowing reviews for their co-stars, directors and production companies. They talked about how there were indeed some problematic players in the industry, but explained exactly how they maintained control in doing only acts they…

Haha you’re going to make me google those names aren’t you? I’m sure they are/were great artists?? and I don’t doubt your ability to perceive what’s going on in people’s heads from their facial expressions.

Maybe see how those female performers’ feel about it to determine whether you can objectively say it sucks. You’ve probably made up your mind on it based on your own dispositions, but that won’t help you understand the choices they make. I’m more about understanding and less about judging.

Lol then how come Cosby was still doing sold out shows as the cascading accusations hit the press? Many people cut ties with him, but enough people still supported him to justify continue his tour.

I watched Hot Girls Only after that article, what it showed is not anywhere near as horrible as this story. That doc was more about how the girls were young and naive on how far porn would take them into “making it” than outright abuse. Also the “amateur porn” genre featured in the doc is way more popular than this…

It’s easy to call BS but I wouldn’t be quick to judge. Unless of course you know exactly what you would do if you were in a situation where your decision determines whether you or not you get paid for a whole bunch of work you’ve already done.

I know this is knit picking considering the topic but Stoya probably doesn’t even crack top 20 most well known female porn stars.

It’s really weird that Jezebel didn’t really report on this story. Maybe because the rapists were black kids?

I didn’t know Westboro Baptists read Jezebel

She came in with zero defence strategy...against a freakin boxer, just took nearly every punch thrown at her. What type of champion does that?

lol adorable “young business men”, probably accountants. Better not come into my line of work I’d swallow them whole especially if they’re drinking choco milk. But thanks for the advice, you know, from one judgey jerk to another.

8 took what 7 made great and just perfected it, it’s also my personal favorite

It wasn’t a Gamergate event, it was a all day panel held by the SPJ (Society of Professional Journalists) that allowed pro, anti and neutral sides to present their arguments. Multiple bomb threats were made through the day (which they mostly ignored) until authorities deemed at least 1 threat in some way credible.

I think we unfairly compare Uber and the cab companies. It really should be a localized thing, Uber might work well in one city and not in another part of the state (let alone another part of the country/world).

It’s because women are not “some monolith that stand together on everything”, I’d have assumed at least a few of those thousands of female marketing execs and accountants would blow the whistle on this. Not to mention the disturbing assumption that all the male professionals involved in these decisions are totally…

Yup can attest to their customer service. I once complained that the Uber driver took a in efficient route that cost me $4 more than the upper limit of the estimate. I got an email response 2 hours later saying the $4 would be refunded to me in a few days and it was.

Doesn’t Gawker own a blog called “Lifehacker” that’s full of tips that are supposed to make life easier? IF society wants you to buy an overpriced product but a similar substitute is available at a better price, switching to that substitute is a “hack”.

Look, price discrimination based on gender is reprehensible. I’m an accountant, I’ve worked on various pricing initiatives over the years, I fail to conceive a situation in which executives would be involved in an industry wide collusion to charge women more for consumer goods....just because they’re women. That’s…

It’s even more complicated than that. Studios are businesses and are generally risk averse. So they’d rather continue funding and making movies that follow a formula - where males have bigger roles in general.

Simple hack buy men’s products. If they are the same it should be an easy switch
