(73,630 posts)How many other people's lives has she ruined to create her own wealth and success?
Compare her to, let's say, some ruthless Wall Street criminal
Especially a man, how much harm as she caused?
Are we supposed to be shocked that she owns her own body and uses her own image as she sees fit? Yet are we supposed to be as shocked by a swimsuit model who who would otherwise appear on a magazine cover for a sports magazine or in someone else's movie production? If not, why not?
I'm having a hard time being appalled by this line of reasoning in the article here.
This is America; self-promotion has always been at the heart of this culture. Now when a woman does it, one who only uses her own name and own body, and does not exploit anyone else
There's all the sudden some problem with this?
Bull.
