I haven't seen anyone say that she should have expected blackface because she was getting paid $500,000.

I don't think anyone is saying the blackface shit was okay because she was paid $500,000, or that she should have expected it.

I think I'll pass on having to get groped by some creepy old billionaire

what's your point? I never said that she should be paid (the full amount, at least - I do think she should receive partial compensation for the time she did spend/what she had to endure). you made the point that she should just put up with whatever because she agreed to accompany him to a party, which is bullshit.

what part of this comment isn't expecting everyone to live up to your personal, specific values? who cares if you and your boyfriend wouldn't approve? are either of you dating either of them?

That's what buying time is - you're buying their presence so they can listen to your shit no matter what that shit is.

That's pretty rich coming from a person that thinks somebody is really going to give you money for something that's not a date/sexual or humiliate you in any way.

oh, well, lord forbid anyone dare to conduct themselves in a way not up to your standards! and if they stray, they deserve whatever they get, right? holy misogyny, batman.

Accepting money you do not need to show up on the arm of an old lech seems as though it would be a lower priority at that point.

is she REALLY that surprised that choice = disrespect

To take a job as an escort and then be surprised that it is awkward, skeezy or shady is stupid.

couldn't joyflower have also been using 'hyperbole for the sake of emphasizing the point'? weird that you would criticize someone for doing what you literally just did in the previous comment.

It should be kind of a BFD.

It's worrisome that he took it to that level of invasiveness in the first place.

he's already shown that he doesn't respect boundaries and feels entitled to her time and attention. what part of that isn't worrisome?

i'm glad that situation turned out so well for you. i walked home alone once in a tight red dress, was whistled at and invited 'home' by a group of men, politely declined their invitation, and was groped like a piece of meat anyway by all four or five of them. most of my friends have similar stories. sorry, women…

I get hit on all the time by creepy old dudes in gay bars. I tell them I'm not interested, they move on.

idk, I'd call eighty percent of the population approving of abortion pretty progressive. granted, some of their laws don't reflect it, but as far as 'their views' go, they're pretty good.

'community morality' approves access to abortion to the tune of eighty percent, though. the article was literally like four paragraphs long. you seriously couldn't read it before making this asinine comment?

unfortunately, yeah.
