"We'll print your feministic article in our magazine... if you do a nude photo-shot."

Summary:

There is this webpage "Herself.com".

It (among others) contains artistic female nudes as a symbol that it's the women themselves who make sexual decisions about their bodies.

The magazine "The Good Weekend" conducted an interview with the founder of Herself.com, Caitlin Stasey, and wanted to accompany it with a photo-series. The photo-shoot was scheduled and then it was mentioned "by the way it will be lingerie-shots, we were told you were told it would be nudes".

Well, she's already done nude photography and she's all for lingerie-shots... if they fit the message of female empowerment. Not if they get forced on the woman.

She negotiated for a new concept for the photo-shot. It was agreed on.

Then the second photo-shot was cancelled at the last minute. The magazine didn't want to put in the budget of the shooting if it's not their concept... They would use artwork instead. So Herself.com researched some art-work and sent in their suggestions.

The article was downsized and postponed and postponed "until the timing was right" to print the article.

Caitlin Stasey lamented on the Huffington Post about having been double-crossed. Ben Naparstek, senior editor of The Good Weekend, then tried to paint it as if the concept for the photo-shot had been "tasteful" nudes and that the concept was dropped for artwork at the behest of Herself.com. And that Herself.com is not relevant enough in itself so the article has to be timed properly.

What kind of person is Ben Naparstek?
The kind of person that pays female authors $0.80 per word and male authors $1.50 per word.
