I don't care if people think he's alpha, beta, or gamma, so long as I'm getting that sweet, sweet delta.

Dear (preferably rich) alpha ladies: come at me.
I still can't get over that people still believe in alphas and betas.
LOL except we have a 70 character limit on headlines.
The No True Scotsman fallacy! Try again.
As it ferments, it oozes ammonia that keeps it from going bad.
My completely non-academic gut feeling guess is that she has her own issues and gets off on it.
Let me do a pre-post of the common comments so we can avoid clutter.
Hahaha what a fucking stupid thing to say.
... by the time you get to the dick-in-face stage, you feel complicit in a way. You had the chance to stop it before and you didn't, so how do you stop it now? That's the insidious cruelty of it.
Plus these things never start out with someone's dick on your face, so to speak. There are all sorts of little, erosive things, and once you consent to the first tiny thing - which people almost always do, because of all the influences you listed - and rationalize all the reasons it's not that big a deal to yourself,…
Reading the previous related article in which the model speaks about her experience and feeling "paralyzed" gave me unexpected PTSD because it was uncanny how similar her description was to my own experience of being molested in college. Something I've only discussed with a therapist and the three other women it also…
Exactly- I certainly don't walk into the office every morning expecting a dick in the face. Not sure why a model wouldn't have the same expectation. It's not like she was hired explicitly for "dick in the face."
The article was an interesting read if only to learn that Richardson has a history of mental illness in his family. But what also struck me as pitiful was that his perverted behaviors "on set," the manipulative ways his "people" encouraged models to participate in sexual acts, and the matter-of-fact attitude that this…
When your character witnesses are your girlfriend and a guy who wrote "fucking Halle Berry from behind when she has short hair is like fucking a fourteen year old mulatto boy", you have made all the wrong life choices. ALL of them.
Buzzfeed did a good analysis of the article as well. They pointed out any criticism of Richardson's treatment of models or any time a model stated an accusation, the author had an unnamed source refute the claims. it makes Richardson look more guilty in my eyes as the author was clearly being used to bolster…
Of course people suspect that - hence why Terry Richardson has articles dedicated to painting him as a very talented, very awesome guy who just likes to be wild and anyone stepping forward about being coerced in any way just wants attention.
This. He and many other men in photography and fashion LOVE this. They are already taking "sexy" shots and they can act as gatekeepers to modeling contracts so they can pressure girls into having sex. It's been a problem for a long time, one the fashion and modeling industry refuses to seriously address.
Why doesn't Richardson use consenting models in his work? Because it might detract from the power of his images. He wants that ambivalence, humiliation, pain. It's the essence of what he does. As a bonus, it plays nicely into his obvious sex addiction. I had the experience of watching a friend descend into sexual…
