did you know apple's event was a misogynistic hate fest?


Why it's not OK for Apple to Photoshop a woman to make her smile during a live event
http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-photoshopped-a-womans-smile-2015-9

quote:

the audience applauded, Twitter erupted as many onlookers questioned Apple's decision to include that demo in the presentation.

There are plenty of arguments about why people should stop telling women to smile. Some women consider it a form of harassment — a phrase that they hear barked to them aggressively as they walk down the street.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2015/09/09/apple_event_adobe_manipulates_a_photo_of_a_woman_to_make_her_smile.html

quote:

Unfortunately for Apple, putting the right bodies on a stage won’t do much to allay accusations of sexism if women aren’t making decisions backstage, too. Watching the Adobe demonstrator make his subject grin would likely induce flashbacks in any woman who’s ever been asked by a stranger to contort her face into a shape that better pleases the men who have to look at her. The next time Adobe wants to show off its latest apps on a photo of a woman, it’d be better off giving her a set of bloody fangs instead.

a bunch of other tumblerinas have their panties in a bunch over Apple's abuse of women. they even have a hashtag. expect tim to resign in disgrace at any moment

isn't it better to make a photo of a woman smile rather than making a real life woman smile? it's just like any other manufactured controversy where you start with the conclusion "did you know popular thing is actually bad????" then mine the piece for objectionable things

discover had a signup promo going on where you double your cash back at the end of the year. assuming this applies you'd basically get 20% cash back on apple pay purchases. lmao
