Damn it, I have a two year old niece, I guess me and my brother better think something fast, so when shes a teenager she'll be interested in STEM.
But you seem really upset about all this. To be clear, what you are mad about is how there are lots of men willing to pay to see naked and sexual content online, right? That really upsets you?
Joke apart, the appeal were already there. making money from the comfort of your bed. Seeing the how much money you can make thought, that's what really broke my back.
I think you are hugely overestimating the number of women making any kind of significant money on onlyfans, let alone the kind of "in a month what a software engineer earns in a year" money you're talking about. That's very few people. If that makes you feel better for whatver reason.
Like every other internet hustle (say instagram "influencers"), so many people are hustling and maybe being taken advantage of and making very little. Who does make serious money is some combination of luck, business sense, aptitude, and lots of work. Some women get rich being models too (and this is of course a kind of modeling, or at least that's part of it), but it's not like any woman can just decide to become rich by modeling.
I'm not sure what you're alarmed about, but if you are foreseeing a future where all women choose to pursue no career but onlyfans, which seems to be literally what you are describing being alarmed about, I don't think you have to worry about that, so perhaps you can sleep better.
Also not sure why we're talking about this on a post about Facebook security vulnerability and their bounty program, but ok.
This is a good thing. Sorry if my above comment was dismissive and callous. Honestly, it is kind of sad as a society, that's what ends up being valued more highly.
>knowing that a girl could rely on her beauty to makes thousands of dollars exposing herself to strangers.
That's not really anything new. Such things have always existed.
To be honest, my comment was mainly in reference to the business model itself. It's hard to compare a salary or wage with lots of money from donations or subscriptions.
I'm sure there's people on onlyfans that make barely anything and there's lots of software engineers with high paying jobs.
>Damn it, I have a two year old niece, I guess me and my brother better think something fast, so when shes a teenager she'll be interested in STEM.
I dunno, teach her self respect and explain the value in success using ones talents and abilities as opposed to exploiting their appearance or bodies.
There's always been the option for girls to do the second one. I'm glad your teacher and people like her are trying hard to give girls more options like the first.
I have a daughter and, while obviously I’d prefer she didn’t end up on onlyfans, I really don’t want to limit what she should do or what talent she should leverage to reach happiness and/or prosperity.
The way this is framed today by people is soo disgusting.
1) Women did work before 1960.
2) Two incomes are better than one. Married couples are better off financially. Many women worked part time while the children were at school or in the evenings when the husband was back at home. I know this because my grandmother did and many of her friends.
3) A married couple typically provides the best environment for raising children. Most people want children.
4) Most people were dirt poor in the past in the western world by today's standards.
> Most people were dirt poor in the past in the western world by today's standards.
You have just adjusted one simplification to end up over exaggerating another one. A boomer's family could live off one salary. Since then women have joined the workforce and kind of the whole world by moving (migrating) or remote. While it is definitely true that those "none westerners were dead poor in the past compared to today" there is a 20+ year long wage stagnation in the west and increase in prices on some of the very fundamental needs like housing, which results in memes about gen XYZ not being able to afford them, create stable conditions, have a spouse and then a family (kids).
Anyway, we are in this together, always on(line), connected, one global world and it depends how you view it: Appreciate the advancements the non-western world has made or focus on the gap they still have to the west. Though this all comes to the expense of the western world, which is kind of required to close the global gap.
We now see the vestigial remains of this “natural state” in western countries, thanks to the changes brought by mass-industrialization and consumerism (both forces being constantly hungry for bodies, and hence working as Great Levellers between sex, race, age, culture, etc) but it’s still very much present all over the world - the problems in Afghanistan or Pakistan are well-reported, for example, but hardly unique.
You must hate women empowerment and be sexist. You must actively support such wishes to be politically correct.
