The broad whisperer

This guy figured it out. Game chicks into writing for you for you empowered womynz online magazine, create huge traffic with all fluff, and screw them over when you sell the site.

To nobody's surprise, the site is all celebs and 'women's issues' that are really vanity pieces. Lots of pretty pictures, but no hard jounalism, no discussion, and all opinions are moderated into bland nothingness. Lol, oh, feminism, fine job you have done.

Who says you can't use feminism for fun and profit? I bet he gets laid like a rockstar. Seems he has an all female, all college age interns. . . Beautiful.

Best quote " the writers are awarded for creating content that promotes the idea that women aren't very interesting"

Thats because women arent very interesting-they like celebrity gossip, beauty tips, fashion, relationship advice and stupid TV and movies and always will.

This guy is copying Arianna Huffingtons business model -tell true believer activists and desperate freelancers that they are changing the world to justify paying them little to nothing, then sell out for a huge personal profit

Shortly after reading that article I saw a woman I know had reblogged an article from Bustle.



Keep work'in for the man ladies.

A person will never go broke offering trivial distraction to a woman: Jezebel's celebrity / gossipy stories far outrank its feminist dogma pieces in page views.

The mistake Hess, and writers like her, make is assuming their desire for intellectual stimulation and politics makes them the average woman, and not extreme outliers. The market rewards what women want.

Every woman in my Facebook circle jumped on the sanctimonious 'do not discuss James Foley out of respect' bandwagon - willfully ignoring uncomfortable truths about what their privilege and comfort is built on - but they sure as hell discussed '50 Shades Of Grey' and George Clooney's wedding.

This sums up my feelings exactly.

I think there are a number of posts on this board can be very hateful against women and their capriciousness, and anti-feminist. The fact is, however, that women's triviality and feminism are never going to go away so we may as well live with it.

How do we live with it you ask? By using it to our advantage and capitalizing upon it exactly like this guy! Make it work for you!

And the first key is understanding women and what's important to them rather than judging them.

What I find incredible is how easily it was for this dude to manipulate the feminists he needed in order to get some legitimacy.

Quote:So Goldberg set out courting his skeptics. He published a sheepish mea culpa that absorbed the arguments of his critics, told reporters that the site’s female editors—led by Entertainment Weekly vet Kate Ward and former HuffPost Women editor Margaret Wheeler Johnson—are really responsible for the site’s success, and began reaching out to female influencers for off-the-record coffees and drinks. “Bryan was not the first person on my list of people to talk to” when he reached out last year, Sklar told me. So he bought her audience: He pledged $200 to a Feministing fundraiser in exchange for a consulting session with Sklar. “I laughed,” Sklar admits. “I was like, ‘Well done.’ ”

All she needed was a little attention and lip service paid towards her cause and she was willing to throw her support behind him. Goes to show that attention is the most valuable thing you can give a woman.
