Social Justice takes a back seat to trying to carve out her piece of the pie

quote:

After 10 hours of catcalls, Shoshana Roberts is ready for a cash call.

The star of last fall’s viral video “Ten Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman” filed suit Tuesday seeking $500,000 for her featured performance in the two-minute clip viewed more than 40 million times.

The defendants named in the suit include Rob Bliss, who came up with the concept, along with Hollaback!, an advocacy group with a stated goal of ending street harassment.


this part is great

quote:

The two, along with co-defendants Google, You Tube and TGI Friday’s, were accused of failure to get Roberts’ signed permission to air the video before they used it to sell advertising.

TGI Motherfricking Fridays, y'all

She's not hot enough to sue for $500,000. Maybe $500

Shoshana?

Really?

It's an answer to what jobs were available to African-Americans in 1920s Southern Railroad Stations, not a first name.

She could really cash in her chips big time by posing for Playboy.

Actually, she could just threaten to pose for Playboy. The SJW's would pay $500 K easily to avoid that reversal of their "message".

90% of those "cat calls" weren't even cat calls, they were just gestures... Hello, good morning...

yeah i loved how in 10 hours they get like 10 minutes of footage and about half is "i hope you have a good day" or something similar

plus, it was almost all minorities (primarily black males). it was racist as shite and it was hilarious to watch THAT backlash

This article is great

quote:

"I feel like harassment from white men has been a form of exotifying me," an unnamed participant said. "A compliment isn't simply 'you're beautiful,' it has something do with my skin color, or my name, or 'where are you from?' I find that's a form of harassment because it makes me feel like my difference is interesting to them, and that creeps me out a lot more."


ironing

another great one

quote:

They just want so desperately for there to be a loophole—one designed just for them—so they can keep treating women like shite with impunity.

that shite is amazing for the first thing i stated above. telling someone to have a good day is also "treating women like shite with impunity"
