It's totally cool that Missy counterpointed me. I like that.
My counter-counterpoint: The point isn't that the SGs are in danger or anything like that. The point is that this film glorifies violence against women and the producer's remarks about women in general -- and the SGs in particular -- feel very misogynistic to me.
Suicide Girls is about empowering women, and I don't see how participating in the promotion of a film that glorifies and glamorizes and celebrates violence against women is consistent with that.

Keep writing and I'll keep reading!
