If you wrap your identity in your sexual orientation, then it will be a topic of conversation. I have known many non-straight people in my life (and still do), and none of them have ever said that they feel they have to constantly "prove" their sexual orientation or identity (and have never said that they have to

Hm. Well, taking offense at this girl's actions isn't really asking to be called a piece of shit, but whatever.

Those things are not exclusive to bisexuality. If you don't want people asking about it, don't go talking about it. Saying you are fine with people knowing you are bisexual (i.e., knowing something about your love life) and then saying that your love life is none of their damn business is a bit self-contradictory.

You are really not making any sense here.

Interesting.. Are you a big social media user? Meaning, do you feel restricted by this policy - or is it not that big of an issue for your sm habits?

Yup - really! I find it offensive.

"At least she feels enough empathy to never wish rape upon another person" - but yet, not enough empathy not to make fun of the victims of violence and terrorism.

What if you (or other employees) do not list your place of employment in your social media profile (such as in the "work and education section on fb)? Meaning, your social media profile offers no connection at all to your employer? Obviously, it would still be foolish to make negative comments about the company, but

Nope. She was making fun of the bombing victims, and posted it on the internet. The wrath of the internet exists, and is a commonly-known thing. She shouldn't be surprised that it fell upon her. By posting the photo online, she was asking for responses (that was her the sole motivation for posting it on the internet).

Hm. Well, I am not defending or justifying rape threats. I did not once say that rape threats are OK in any way. I did not say that she (or anyone) deserves to be threatened with rape (or to live in fear of rape). I said that, given the fact that rape threats are not an uncommon type of backlash for this kind of

Well, she's telling the internet - and then saying "it's none of your business!" And if strangers or acquaintances (rather than close friends or significant others) ask about your sexuality and you feel that it's none of their business, then don't tell them about it.

She made a conscious decision to make fun of the horrible death and disfigurement of innocent people, and then put it on the internet - at a point in time when people are called out publicly all the time for stupid, offensive shit they do, and when things like rape threats (regardless of whether or not they are

She made a conscious decision to make fun of the horrible death and disfigurement of innocent people. That wasn't a mistake, it was an intentional, conscious act - and then she put it on the internet.

"..it's telling of our time that you can be harassed and berated so easily for doing something stupid in public... The wrath of the internet is practically biblical." - and for those reasons, she should not have been surprised by the backlash of what she did, she should actually have expected it. Nobody should have

...and for the same reason, she should have realized that making light of innocent victims of terrorist bomb attacks is a bad idea, and not done it. She wants sympathy for the rape threats because she was raped, but feels that it's completely acceptable, appropriate and funny to make fun of bombing victims.

What an idiotic comment; People are constantly demanding you prove that you're bisexual? Really? Well, if they are, then you must have told them that you are - and if you'd rather that it be none of their damn business, then just stop running around telling everyone that you're bisexual - and stop posting about it on

"I cannot distinguish the new cast members from each other anyway. So. Maybe colors would help with recognition..." - Wow.

Ah, ok. Anyway, I still don't understand all the outrage about the author and other women not being paid as if that was stated as fact, when the last line seems to indicate that she did get paid money (or a least makes that the more logical / reasonable assumption). It's just hilarious how many of the commenters'

..I have no idea what you are trying to say...

There is no evidence in the story that the models are not being paid, however there is evidence that they are being paid; there are contracts involved (that would require an exchange of value to make legally binding) - and the author ends with, "At least one of us got paid in money, experience and fun."
