Former SI Cover Girl: Sexual Harassment Was Once ‘a Compliment’

“Here is the funny thing about sexual harassment with us as models: It was seen as a compliment,” she told us at the Bloomberg 50 gala at Gotham Hall.

“As a matter of fact, you almost got offended if you did not get harassed. Like, if this photographer is known for hitting on [models] — or goes for all the brunettes — and you show up at the studio and you are a brunette and he does not hit on you . . . it is like, ‘What is wrong with me?’

Back then, attention from a gentleman was a compliment, but attention from a lech never was. The difference between then and now is

...that a gentleman is someone with high status, from whom the woman wants attention, and a lech is a low-status man, from whom the woman does not want attention.

Regards,

Unless they are seeking a mate they are actually dolling up fashion wise etc to meet approval or notice of their splittail peers

Harassment: a woman being hit on by a man she’s not interested in.

Women may doll up for their friends, but the underlying motive is competitive: “I’m more desirable to men than you”

I bet Franken is shocked that they turned on him.
Threw him under the bus.

To bad he probably doesn’t know where any of the bodies
are buried or any other murders. He is probably too stupid
to trust.

I think they want approval but yes they compete

Biggest threat to women’s butt hurt feelings ain’t bad men but rather vicious women

because he wanted to show an inner part of them that would be more in tune with his “story” of who they were.

“Rather, it’s about weaponizing relations between men and women so the Left can pull it out whenever it benefits one of their members.”

Precisely this.

Females still in their dating years should ideally have friends similar in attractiveness otherwise jealousy will usually come into play. I had (what I thought was) a best friend in my youth turn on me. I should have seen it coming when she jokingly complained one day that the guys she likes end up asking me out. This, after I turned down the nicest guy in our crowd, out of loyalty to her because I knew she liked him. Never even told her about his asking me out. Anyways not long after that she ended up ignoring me. Walked past my house, I smiled and called out to her, she gave a dirty look and kept on going. We’d had such fun times together and it really hurt me when she did that.

Because they were camera savvy and probably always used the same stock (fake) expression.

Franken is definitely a hypocrite.

Has Al Franken's accomplice been revealed yet? Who took the photo(s)? Who did they share them with?

Both taken while in Iraq. Neither approved by heads of the organizations.

The entire story behind the photograph is here told in Leann's own words, but the summary is that the photograph was taken by the official USO photographer, and included on a memento CD of photographs given to all of the cast and crew at the end of the USO tour.

But he didn’t stop there.

The tour wrapped and on Christmas Eve we began the 36-hour trip home to L.A. After 2 weeks of grueling travel and performing I was exhausted. When our C-17 cargo plane took off from Afghanistan I immediately fell asleep, even though I was still wearing my flak vest and Kevlar helmet.

It wasn’t until I was back in the US and looking through the CD of photos we were given by the photographer that I saw this one:

You know, there are probably many, many other ways you might have expressed that thought...

He probably had that same expression when he found out that Hitler was dead.
