The problem with the bullshit way these bullshit awards ceremonies are set up is that if you get these types of accolades, you can ask for more money in all sorts of contract negotiations, no matter your industry. It’s stupid and I hate it (dismantle the whole system!) but ultimately it comes down to pay parity.

We put the girls into a cage with hungry wolves but we gave them a rape whistle so they’ll be okay.

It’s crazy, literally looking through magazines and it is filled with sexed up children. I was on a shoot last week (meeting with a photographer) and one of the models was dead ass 14. Her father was there and said he would always go with her but didn’t like the whole idea behind the industry. They had her glammed up…

People treating these jobs like golden tickets is a real problem. You’re supposed to be grateful you got this honor. Anyone else would be so happy just for the opportunity. If you want to get ahead, this is what you have to do, there’s no other way, why are you being so difficult? If you’re too fragile to handle it,…

Although this will never stop creepers from being creepy- there’s an intrinsic problem within the entire modeling industry. Girls at 14 or 15 are modeling clothes advertised to women in their 30s and 40s- there’s something so fundamentally fucked about that. I did some modeling in my early teens and I can tell you…

I think we would try not to work with a lot of those photographers if we heard problems.

LOL. “CALL ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING UNTOWARD”. Yes, dear 16 year old, tell me if a 45 year old jabba the hut scroat-face who weighs 200 pounds more than you and could kill you, rams your mouth down over his penis! We will send an angry letter (also you’ll never work again). Good luck in therapy for the rest of your…

Ahhh yes. Another way old white men can profit off women’s bodies.

It gets worse. When Erik Prince fell out of favor in the U.S. because his goons were making a shit ton of money off of wars fought by citizens who make shit, he went on to provide his services to the United Arab Emirates and China. Oh, and a little place called Russia. You know, because he’s a mercenary. I hope this…

wait...blackwater Erik prince??? brother????

... And the universities, athletic departments, administrators and coaches all wield great power within the community. For decades, they have used this power to squelch investigations or handle things in house.

As noted in several linked posts above and in ESPN’s reporting, numerous assaults were reported to police, only for charges not to be brought or to later be dropped. The Appling-Payne case, despite police requesting charges be brought, was dropped by a prosecutor who subsequently was hired to, yes, work in Michigan…

Having the NCAA investigate MSU is like having the Committee of Public Safety investigate reports of beheadings in Paris.

This has now crossed from “what the actual fuck” territory into “Jesus shitting Christ on a Triscuit WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK OVER” territory.

I don’t know if they deep down know they’re wretched scum. The mental gymnastics they’re able to perform is quite amazing. Look at that one trustee who painted the victims as money grubbers. Look at these politicians who fuck over poor people and minorities and have the balls to claim they’re helping them.

With the Koch takeover of Michigan and Wisconsin, those two states are just cesspools.

Amen. The enduring legacy of Penn St isn’t just Sandusky and JoPa, it’s their vile fan base that to this day place football over rape victims.

Well, time to put my money where my mouth is.

Until recently my job’s vacation policy was basically “take a 3-day weekend when you feel like you’re fed up and need a day off, but prepare for the boss to be passive aggressive as shit about it.” Yay!

i feel like sweden is just showing off at this point with their equality and incredibly sane country. how i get to live there.
