I, um, got no snarky headline for this one.
It's just so monumentally stupid.
There's an article, not very compelling, in the Times about the Peter Braunstein case.
A Mr. Fraser Conlon has this to say about it:
Mr. Conlon wondered why Mr. Braunstein would have been attracted to an industry [the fashion publishing industry] that was so toxic for him, an industry dominated by strong women, which was certainly no place for a misogynistic male.
Um, what? The fashion and beauty industry is no place for a misogynistic male?
Sure there are plenty of women working in it. But it is misogyny. You don't have to be a women's studies major to get that. You just need some modicum of reasoning faculty.
One might excuse him by dint of mere cluelessness, but...
“Fashion is what fashion is,” said Fraser Conlon, a former publicist for Tom Ford and Donna Karan, who now runs Amaridian, a gallery of sub-Saharan art in SoHo.
So you've worked for Tom Ford and you still think this industry is "no place for a misogynistic male"?
Dude, did you even go to high school?
