We have little to no agency in the industry. Many, many models are underage, and many of them do not speak the language of the country they are working in fluently or at all. When a big mag books you for a shoot (oh, and the pay for this was probably $200 or less, by the way), you either go or get dropped from your…

the thing is, if you call Vice on their sexism, they'll just do it again with Hemingway and Mishima...
Non-intersectional feminists have decided (by way of dogma, not careful analysis) that many of society's seemingly unrelated issues, including sexual culture within the gay community, can be traced at the root to patriarchal oppression of women. It's the same line of thinking that leads to declarations that lesbians…
I'm going to need some additional support for the argument that gay porn is "a reflection of patriarchal society." I'm not actually sure what you mean by that statement. I mean, by virtue of who is acting in it (men), who is producing it (men), and who is primarily consuming it (men) it would have to be informed by…
Pretty much. When anti-porn crusaders stoop to one set of bunk statistics, it's difficult to give them any credibility on the subject.
That quote contains a pretty serious error, as carebearflair points out in another comment down in the grays. The actual search term they used was "rape porn" not "free porn". I imagine that would make a pretty huge difference.
I've read studies that showed that abusers' heart rate drops when they abuse their victims.
You should clarify this sentence: “Rape Crisis South London has shown that typing "free porn" into Google yields the following: 86 percent of sites that come up advertise videos depicting the rape of under-18s, 75 percent involve guns or knives, 43 percent show the woman drugged, and 46 percent purport to be incest…
While taking Adderall as a study aid isn't good for you, existing in a system (like the U.S. college system, for example) that limits your access to proper rest is just as bad if not worse.
Madeleine has it ever occurred to you that kids are pulling all nighters because they were too fucking lazy to do the work/study beforehand? I double majored and graduated early and only had to pull one all nighter in my life because I wasn't out drinking every weekend.
I 100% agree. I slacked off in college and the all-nighters I pulled where due to being lazy. My friends, if they were being honest, would say the same thing.
Are we really saying the U.S. college system is too rigorous? I don't know about you guys, but even working jobs between classes for four years, I felt like I didn't really understand sleep deprivation and stress until after graduation. College is a cakewalk compared to real life.
Maybe — just maybe — instead of focussing on how students pull all-nighters, we should focus on why they're pulling all-nighters in the first place. While taking Adderall as a study aid isn't good for you, existing in a system (like the U.S. college system, for example) that limits your access to proper rest is just…
Well, it seems like he is all for equality in the abuse department:
"and little to no advertising."
Did you also read A Modest Proposal and think it's about eating babies?
What I have learned, particularly from Jezebel, is that if something sounds too outrageous to be true, it probably isn't true. Jezebel frequently fails to include relevant bits of information in certain of its stories, preferring sensationalism instead.
Well, there are two ways it can be interpreted:
God. Of course there's a fucking bicycle shop. Why wouldn't there be a fucking bicycle shop?
