There are plainly non-industry models included in the show. They couldn’t possibly have anticipated what they were in for. This would have been a difficult gig for the most experienced of the models involved. If there had been any real planning for this, he would have used only installation or fit models (maybe some/a…

I’m not so sure. Were you in New York today? I would not have wanted to stand in today’s weather for two hours wearing body-hugging clothing. Even had he planned those who fell, I don’t know that he could have reasonably counted on those who somehow managed to remain standing.

Sincere, not ill-intentioned question: in what way do you think his fashion ideas have always or ever been interesting? What clothing (not models—some of his models have been patently interesting irrespective of what they’re wearing) has he ever put on a runway or an installation or on his wife that is interesting?

Your precise flavor of bullshit is what happens when you separate the “philosophy” of something from its reality—something you’ve been doing all evening with rape—trying to separate “rape culture” from the raping that rapists do to victims of rape.

bladerunner did exactly what you have asked for in this thread, multiple times—explained why your posts are problematic. You respond to bladerunner by dismissing his/her post and noting that you’re not interested. Typical gaslighting tactic. At least you’re definitely not reading this post in which I point out a…

Why, my stars and garters, how on earth could your attempts to shift blame for rape culture away from rapists and their apologists have descended into such beastly incivility? On Jezebel of all places? *has vapors* *fans herself rapidly*

I’ve already concluded that you’re a person whose opinions about rape culture nobody should care about, whose characterizations re: others’ participation in rape culture are themselves an embodiment of it, and whose absence of compassion for victims is revolting.

Res ipsa loquitur.

In your reply to soltarimage, you used the *possibility* that you may yourself be a rape survivor to delegitimize the response of someone whose entire family has been and continues to be victimized by a rapist. If you don’t see the cruelty of that, if you don’t recognize your hypocrisy in daring to scold me for…

Beware the pseudo-scientist rape apologism happening in this discussion. DinosaurHead’s screeds may be long and larded with faux-progressive polysyllabism, but they are focused on shifting the responsibility, erasing the victim from the narrative, and making excuses for the rapist. All of these are a transparent…

Whether or not you are a victim of rape, you sure as hell don’t speak for all of them.

Fuck you. You are shifting the responsibility. You are erasing the victim from the narrative. You are making excuses for the rapist. Your entire narrative is an attempt to gaslight rape victims and their allies.

Funny how contrition can be bought for a few weeks’ public outrage, but not for seventeen years’ reflection or the words of the victim.

Mmmmhmmm, that’s the stuff... I nearly started tapping my veins waiting for the story to load.

Because I am a fractious child wanting more, can someone please write up today’s glorious Ann Coulter FuckBazaar of 2016? I could really use a good old-fashioned gloat.

I disagree with you regarding the validity of the conclusions (though since you’ve used the word “statistically”, I’ll happily review any passably current citations you can provide). However, it absolutely doesn’t matter. Discrimination against a potential employee on the basis of marital status or procreative status,…

You must mean employers with very low risk awareness or very high risk tolerance.

Yup. From that, I realized he/she is a troll, and replied as much early in that thread. The reply is invisible now—I assume it was dismissed. Fair play, as I’d dismissed a couple of his/her further gems.

Thanks! That feels like a sitting up level of effort, but now I will know how to do it next time.

Beautiful!
