Wow. Your article is interesting but it brings nothing new to the table. All you are doing is joining the anti-AA media bandwagon and repeating biased opinion that masquerades as fact. Where shall we begin? AA's ads? Oh my lord - sexy ads with models as young as 15?? How old do you think the provocatively posed models in most fashion magazines are? Anywhere from 14 and up. And sexy ads are the norm in the industry - it's fashion for God's sake! What you fail to mention is that none of AA's models are professional models. They are all real …

Nice totally useless response kingfelix. My query was sincere, my comment was loaded with independently confirmable facts and you come back to me with ... nothing. Good job. Let me once again reiterate - please let me know if I am missing something, anything. Please show me where anything I have said is wrong or innaccurate in any way. I await any reasonable response with baited breath.

Oooh. He used the misogyny trump card! Nice. Well, kingfelix, you know there are a number of ways one can defend oneself from any accusation, sexualy based or otherwise. The issue at hand in the cases in question is whether the defendant created an environment that was so hostile that it in effect became a form of sexual harassment. The standard is not an objective one - it is fully subjective and depends on the individuals involved. Someone working as a Chippendale's dancer can expect a certain sexual atmosphere at the work place whereas someone working as a public librarian might …

Are you seriously illiterate? Or simply disengenuous? Are you so hell bent on winning a silly pissing contest, so committed to proving your dominance that you put on blinders? Did I say my comment was made up entirely of facts? Of course there is speculation in it, I'm not omniscient! Sheesh.

Hmmm. I think you're projecting. I was just seeking balance, and instead, when I read this article, I got more of the same. All you've been able to come back with is childish argumentation. Do notice that you're not at all addressing any of my points - not at all. You say I am engaging in "wild speculation" but what you're doing isn't any better. In fact it's worse. You have brought nothing to the table except for name calling and clever put downs. Good job! I hope you're proud of yourself.

Wow kingfelix, you are so awesome. So much for openmindedness and enlightened discourse. First I was a misogynist and now I am an apologist. Spectacular retorts. You really learned me,learned me good. And in the meantime, the level of discourse on the matter has not progressed one iota. Again, bravo, I tip my hat off to you.

peterdreier wrote: "Charney is a slick PR man." peter, you're a pretty slick PR man yourself! OK, maybe not so slick... you may have at the very least attempted to portray yourself as somewhat balanced by preceding the term "sexual predator" when describing Charney, with an "alleged." But whatever, let's leave balance, fairness, the presumption of innocence and the finer points of libel to those who aren't paid labor consultants (just Google "peter dreier" - no big secret there). But wo momma - equating UNITE with the civil rights movement and American Apparel with the Ku Klux Klan? That was masterful! …

Oh and please respond quickly as my hat seems to have come alive and is in the process of choking me slowly.

Courage? Peter please, that's weak. I am nobody. This is the Internet, how do I even know you are who you say you are? Does it REALLY matter? Now Peter, if I've made a mistake, forgive me. But the first thing I saw on Google about you, titled Dreier Bio (2003) stated "He has worked closely with a wide range of ... labor unions ... and has worked as a consultant for a variety of foundations and government agencies, including ... the California AFL-CIO, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor ..." If that's a mistake, please accept my apologies …

Peter, you keep skirting around the issue. And can you please stop putting my handle in italics, it's annoying. You know as well as I do that in the past, ostensibly unionized factories had in fact been out and out sweatshops and that this was done in collusion with union officials. I am not suggesting that that would be the case now. But it certainly has been the case in the past. You know that as well as or even better than I do. That's all I was saying.

Here's a possibility ... Because the union messed up. And rather than engage in a futile union drive they knew was going to be unsuccessful, they decided that they could pull out and use the AA debacle as yet another example of high handed management tactics once again resulting in the disenfranchisement of labor. Had they lost a vote, had they not been able to get enough union cards signed, they would not be able to trot out over the top analogies comparing the Union to civil rights workers and AA to the KKK. By pulling out they acheived a certain …
