Grr.

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.

Thank you for writing the article... some friends and I were discussing it, all in general agreement with you, and came to the conclusion that had anyone but you authored that opinion, they probably would have been zotted.

At the very least, the article would not have seen the light of day.

My hope is that the girls have a great time, and it wouldn't hurt if they don't fit his crude expectations. We'll see, I suppose.

Again, thank you...

Wil, you hit a home run with this piece, Missy sounded like she just wanted to say the Girls were still empowered being there. Good to see so many other men can look past the pictures and see what the site is, and what its about! (God! I sound almost... *GASP* EMO!)

Oh, oh... I was reading your story WFS: Part 1 and sadly it took me about 5 minutes to find Part 2! As a Columnist, you might have the power to suggest that the site lets us go logically from story to story (chronologically?) via links; if you think thats a good idea...

whatever

Keep writing and I'll keep reading!
