No consequences? Interesting. When’s that next season of House of Cards featuring Kevin Spacey coming out? How about that next season of Master of None featuring Aziz Ansari?

Ohh what’s that? Those series are in jeopardy due to their actions of those men? That seems to contradict what you’re saying.

Ahh... so you think things like Olympic gold medals are earned based on something other than merit?

I’m sorry, are you confusing Kim Kardashian with Shaun White? See Shaun White is a snowboarder is became famous and has a career snowboarding because he won and has continued to win at Snowboarding.

Do you think anyone would be talking about Shaun White right now if his best finish ever in a snowboarding event was 22nd…

Martin Brodeur was essentially so good at playing the puck, they created a rule to prevent him from being so effective at it.

And how do you determine who the bigots and assholes are?

You might find that what was considered the “bigots and assholes” of the time would now be considered to have fairly inoffensive opinions. What then?

Grid kids are unpaid child labour.

Based on your rationale, people should be just as upset over the grid kids as they were celebrating the removal of grid girls, because now people are objectifying children instead of women.

Madden Ultimate Team. EA’s microtranaction “Football Card Deck builder” mode where you open “packs of cards” to make the best roster you can, and then play to get more packs of cards, or pay obscene amounts of money to get super special packs of cards, like this super bowl pack featuring a level 99 Nick Foles.

Well let’s see here. Your OP is.

“v. To employ to the greatest possible advantage: exploit one’s talents.

“I’ll take blatant lying for $400"

“I’ll take moving the goalposts for $200, Alex”

What, did you think I wouldn’t notice you changed from “exploit” to “exploitation”?

It’s probably because googling “exploit” leads to:

ex·ploit

How does this change how the sport is viewed. Most of the women dressed up in attire reflective of the host country’s culture and heritage. Is is shameful to pay homage to either of these things?

Futhermore how is exploiting children who now will not be paid to do the same thing improve the optics of the sport?

How many dictionary sites did you go past before you settled on the one from American Heritage Dictionary?

Is it because Mirriam-Webster has exploit as: to make productive use of
Or Oxford as: Make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource)
Or Dictorionary.com as: to utilize, especially for profit

Yeah, I think…

Perhaps they don’t consider themselves to be objectified and don’t consider themselves decoration? I don’t know why don’t you watch one of the dozen or so interviews that actual grid girls have given on the topic since they lost their jobs?

it’s pretty said that you’re so sexist that you’ve diffused a woman’s free will and autonomy into you viewing them as a piece of fucking furniture. Disgusting.

Do you realize how bad the optics are that women only occupy writing positions at Jalopnik? Think of the poor girls that will grow up thinking that all they can be at the offices of Jalopnik are writers instead of editors and other upper management positions!

They’re actually paid to be there for 4-5 days, and can be paid over $10K to do it. For many of them, it actually did represent a significant portion of their income.

Maybe you should actually listen to some of the women that filled these positions, and hear their arguments.

You’re a bit stumped that people were supporting a women’s right to choose what she does with her body? It’s fine for women to be paid to lend their uterus to a couple and birth a fucking child for them, that’s a fine choice that women can do with their bodies? But getting paid to wear an advertisement on an F1 grid?…

Literally every time someone is employed, the company that employs them is exploiting them. If employers could not exploit your abilities to make more money, they would not hire you.

It’s really sad that you don’t believe in women’s autonomy, and would rather support unpaid child labor instead of supporting a woman’s right to do with her body as she sees fit.
