publicity != information. /thread
> their insights, namely that sexualizing them is bad for business.
Hmmm. Any chance their insights are .... wrong? What's my evidence? I dunno, models make $50-75/hour while the CEO of the company who hires them makes millions a year?
Actually, I suspect the author is putting her words into the models' mouths. Did the models really say they thought sexualization was bad for business? They said the men were shy and didn't approach them, but linking that to bad business practice requires several more conceptual leaps.
Just another woman-judges-women story.
