You can tell how bad the industry is when reactions are like “oh good its not sexual abuse a la Richardson”

I think a great deal of the population already interprets “religious freedom” as code for christians being able to discriminate against various minorities, not as the principles of secularism and equal respect for minority faiths the founders clearly intended.
First, the only reason not to answer such a straight-forward question as “is Islam a religion?” is if the answer is “no”. Second, if Islam isn’t a religion, it’s pretty hard to imagine on what possible grounds the other two abrahamic religions could be. Third, to refuse to recognize a religion or to purposely conflate…
One good story from the woman-hating world of high fashion.
“speaking up for mostly women” this makes me wonder if this stuff happens to male models. I’m sure they endure their share of assholes in the industry but to this extent?
Nothing about this sounds inocuous, especially in an industry known for abuse of young women. This incident alone is terrible. But it’s so much worse when you consider what this psychologically does to people as part of a broader industry “culture”. It tells women they don’t matter, that they don’t have a voice, and…
I could never be a pro model. Being an actress is shit enough, but at least some of us are able to get into unions and there’s a bit more diversity in the field.
It’s so disgusting. They obviously learned nothing from the election. They’ve been saying for almost 2 years that “it looks like he’s going to start sounding presidential.” They already forgot about the fuckery that happened just today where he accused the Jews of desecrating their own cemeteries and signed the bill…
I mean, do they not fucking remember literally ANYTHING he’s said or done in the past month?!
1. There are plenty of countries where women are treated far better than in the States.
Same. I’m happy that there is a spirit of pride and unity, but it’s so gross that the basic rights of women are even something we’re still fighting for.
This sounds like something that my survival school instructors would do. What trash. Again, not surprised since the industry (and really, a lot of industries) venerate and protect abusers like these two ass knuckles and Terry Richardson.
How are the women imaginary if they are also better off than other women?
A century after women were “granted” the right to vote by men and we’re still dealing with this shit. I’m so fucking tired of this.

Former model here. Maida and Ramy are sick fucks. Their thing is to call hundreds of girls they have no intention of ever booking to a casting all at the same time and have them wait from 4-8 hours to be seen. They take their books when they arrive (agency portfolios - cost a bunch of money and are hard to replace) so…
I just don’t understand why the fuck anyone would do this. Is it just a show of power? To belittle the models, who are actually a necessary asset to the design houses, to keep them meek or some shit? wtf
I don’t even treat my cat like that, and he’s an unapologetic asshole. When I leave he gets an explanation, a general ETA and his ‘shows’ put on repeat (animal planet’s big cat diaries). Other than sheer malice, I can’t think of a single reason to leave like that, much less turn off the lights.
I dunno: a grand jury watched this video and decided not to even indite...
