In The 19th Century, Ballet Dancers Wanted To Be Seen As Professionals, But Society Got In The Way
And the kind of “society” we’re talking about here is the kind you can see in Degas paintings: Wealthy older gentlemen wanted to buy attention and “love.” The Paris Opera Ballet was the prime example. “Throughout the 19th century, it raised the bar for dance — but on the backs of many exploited young women.”

Just How Many Women Have Contacted The Los Angeles Times About Sexual Harassment By Director James Toback?

The Most Uncomfortable Call An Author Can Get
They wanted to ban Fahrenheit 451 – and replace it with his book. “The parent organizing the banning effort suggested that Bradbury’s work should be replaced with something more acceptable to her.
