A girl who graduated from my high school talked of becoming an actress. She was gorgeous.
I’ll never forget her saying “When I get out there, I just want someone to tell me who I need to &$^% to make it big. I’m ready.”
They are not victims unless they resist.

Heartbreaking, troubling, haunting. But that's reality, obviously.
I remember hearing a Howard Stern episode show back in the '90s. He was talking to a young woman by phone who was out in Los Angeles, trying to break in to the movie business. She stayed anonymous, but it was clear that Mr. Stern had identified her as someone who had a shot, for whatever reason. I think he talked to her on a regular basis for his show, but I only heard her once.
Anyway, Stern spent time on this issue, talking about the casting couch, and what she might have to do, and did she realize what she was getting into?
To every one of his questions, she cheerfully answered "yes," and "I understand," and "I'm ready to do what it takes."
I've remembered it after all these years, and I wonder if she did become successful. This would have been about 20 years ago, so even if she did make it, her career would be on the down-side at this point.
I guess as a guy, you want to be protective of women.
If you are kind of into them, you almost feel duty bound to look out for them.
A number of times in my life, I’ve known a certain woman was going to be doing something I thought was very bad for her.
They really don’t want to hear it when you try to explain it.
It’s their right of course.
One good example is the guy you can peg right off as being a terrible human being, as it relates to women. You can’t warn a woman away from a guy like that, because they refuse to believe it.
Ahhh life...
