Good for them! Did they ever apologize to that froyo place for trying to tank their business a couple of weeks ago? 

Didn’t they come out as pansexual a few weeks ago?

This is a feature of the industry in part because it makes adult women feel insecure. If you can’t make a woman insecure, it’s harder to sell her something, especially something expensive.

Nope, I definitely do and every time I think “who the hell is Farrow, is that some action franchise I’m unaware of?” before the “Oooohhh, Allen” kicks in.

The three young women in the lede photo are barely out of childhood it would seem. When not all glammed up for the camera or a fashion shoot it really underlines how very young these models are. And I guess, really, that’s a feature not a bug as they say.

Puts one in mind of Weinstein et al, where ‘elite’, very famous, and very successful actresses were prey — and everyone knew it and no one said anything until that one little audio recording made it out...

tell that to the thousands of paparazzi who sell photos of celebrities to tabloids who publish and sell magazines with those celebrities on the covers. as it turns out just because you’re in a photo doesn’t mean you have the rights to your likeness in that photograph.

As sure as grizzly bears like salmon streams, sexual predators will flock to modeling agencies, beauty pageants and similar workplaces; and child sexual predators will flock to youth groups, youth pastoring, and youth sports.

As Jordan Weissmann pointed out on Slate (https://slate.com/business/2021/05/republicans-states-unemployment-insurance-labor-vaccines-schools.html), the states that have been quickest to cut unemployment benefits have also generally been the worst at getting people vaccinated, ensuring that working remains dangerous.…

It’s Palm Springs. Tacky hits different in the desert.

Gates seems to think because he presents as being an unassuming nerd who’s image is being a benign philanthropist, he should be able to proposition women at work as long as he presents it as their choice. It’s peak willfully obtuse Nice Guy TM behavior. He knows damn well that he is their boss, old enough to be their…

I would argue that the people who think the mere sight of a (fake!) woman’s underwear is “hyper-sexualized” and unsuitable for children are the true misogynists in this situation.

It wasn’t that long ago that, for many people, basically all social interaction happened at work or work functions. So, people from that generation often don’t see a problem with people dating at work.

• An episode set in Zari’s time (and not just in the Tarazi household).

Now don’t bring nuance and scenarios in this, everything needs to be judged across the same hard line.

Reminds me of a mantis shrimp.

It kind of is a huge deal, to be honest. I’ve worked at Microsoft. Guys like Gates, Nadella and even Ballmer are revered as if they are demi-gods. Even the mildest criticism of these guys will earn you at best, tuts and side-eye or a chat with your manager about your attitude. There is no good way for a boss to ask an…

I wouldn’t hold your breath. People do not become billionaires or accrue power due to their empathy or ethical codes.

I love the argument that because he “gave them a choice” these women should somehow have magically decided saying no wouldn’t impact their careers in any way. Because that’s exactly how it works. You turn a guy down and the next day he just treats you exactly the same way he did the day before.

The story is always worse than we know. Especially with Epstein. First, CEO Les Wexner of Limited Brands to the tune of $40 million, then CEO Leon Black of Apollo for nearly $150 million, and now Bill Gates... to what awful sum we hope is disclosed soon. And under the guise of “financial advisement.” What other names…
