If I knew that a summer associate voluntarily submitted pics of herself to this website, I'd definitely question her maturity.

Date: February 26th, 2007 11:51 AM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse Tell that to the women on the recruiting committee. If a summer associate brought up XOXO, or submitted their own pics to this Hot Top 14 website, I'd question their maturity. You don't bring up XOXO at the office. As for the girl who submitted her own pics, that's a tacky and unprofessional act. She is submitting her pics to a site run by people who may be her peers, possibly people that she would be working for, with, or opposite (on a case or deal). It's just not a very professional thing to do. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=585433&forum_id=2#7671405) |

I disagree. |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 12:19 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse Men and women obviously feel differently. From a woman's perspective, this person is voluntarily sexualizing herself in front of future professional colleagues. This, to me, shows that this girl doesn't care to present herself in a professional light in a forum that will undoubtedly be seen by her peers and colleagues. Bad judgment.
If this girl's work was fine and she otherwise showed good judgment and maturity I wouldn't recommend a no-offer, but it's definitely not a good way to potentially introduce yourself to future colleagues. |

Date: February 26th, 2007 5:38 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse If she did good work, I'd be happy to work with her, but otherwise I'd be afraid that she'd conduct herself too casually around clients or senior associates, especially when alcohol is involved, and represent the firm in a negative light.
EDIT: While she's clothed in the photos, the photos are presenting her in a rather sexualized way. I wouldn't feel comfortable having work colleagues see me in these kinds of outfits.

Date: February 26th, 2007 5:49 PM Author: Titillating striped hyena public bath plus, why hire her when you could hire the girl (JF) who requested her picture be taken down... and also has a blog where she calls abortion "a moral good" and advocates for all sorts of immature and whacked-out looney liberal positions...
ya, i'd much rather hire the girl who cant handle a joke.
listen, that girl's pictures were ALREADY submitted to the site by someone else. realizing she'd be up there, she merely sent better ones of herself. that's all. and know what? people IRL respect that she can take a joke and can act normally when praised for being good looking.
compare that to tantrum-throwing agenda-pushing people like JF. i'd pick ML any day. |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 5:58 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse Realizing she'd be up there, ML had 3 options: request that her pics be removed, keep silent or submit better pics of herself. I agree that I'd rather be around people who can take a joke, but she's taking this joke a bit too seriously in submitting better pictures. It's the "I'm hot, I'm proud, here are some better photos of me" narcissism that I'm not a fan of.
As for JF, it's also not a good idea to blog if your name's on it. I couldn't care less about blogging, but make sure you blog anonymously if your blog contains controversial or potentially offensive material. I consider her just as guilty of bad judgment if she doesn't blog anonymously or make an attempt to keep her blog identity a secret. |

|
Date: February 26th, 2007 6:14 PM Author: Titillating striped hyena public bath she presumes to tell other women what is 'professional' and assumes that a women who isn't HIGHLY PROTECTIVE of her sexuality and looks is 'unprofessional'.
the reason women have a hard time is because men hate women like bellacat but bellacat & other nonattractive women also bring down the attractive, femininely appealing women |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 6:24 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse I know plenty of attractive female associates who have been hit on and asked out by male superiors. It even happened to me. I was working with a senior attorney who was giving me particularly positive feedback on my work as well as some good mentorship/advice. He asked me out for drinks one night after work and I figured it would be like a "night with the office boys" and a good opportunity for further mentorship/relationship building so I bit. He then proceeded to get obnoxiously drunk, ask me out numerous times (including via email when he got back to the office), and make lewd comments about my ass and my eyes. We no longer work together and to this day I don't know if his "mentorship" and positive feedback was because he genuinely liked my work or because he wanted to fuck me.
Other attractive female attorneys have had similar experiences with other male supervisors. Sometimes it's better to dress the part of the "ruthless professional" than of the "femininely appealing" woman to be taken seriously. |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 6:28 PM Author: Titillating striped hyena public bath i understand why YOU might not want to appear to be at all solicitous of male attention.
this doesnt explain why you'd begrudge other women from not being robotic "professionals" all the time. so what if they ocassionally play along with men or acknowledge their own attractiveness? maybe they're just ok and comfortable with it.
getting back to this contest--so what if this girl sent us some pictures. to be honest, the pics we have of her before just weren't very good. she improved her image by just working with us--she said she finds the contest "funny"--she never endorsed it.
point being, women second-guess other women all the time. you live like you want, but dont assume others are unprofessional if they dont want to be just like you |

|
Date: February 26th, 2007 6:39 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse the act of submitting "better" photos - i.e. photos which show her in sexualized poses - is questionable, especially since she knows that this "Girls of the Top 14" website will be viewed by many law students and lawyers.
It's her choice, though. I can't tell her not to submit sexier poses if she was unsatisfied with those posted, but she had better be prepared to expose herself to criticism and prejudgment by male and female colleagues alike if they see these pictures. |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 6:42 PM Author: Titillating striped hyena public bath re-read my post.
she sent us LESS SEXUAL pictures than what we had been sent.
at the same time, she also looks BETTER in the ones she sent.
moreover, apparently what she sent us was just from her own facebook profile anyway... something that 90% of law students have (except nontrads) and which almost always have pictures.
she did nothing that makes me think she has poor judgment. poor judgment is running around crying about this for hours at a time & asking other ppl to flame xoxo saying that only ugly doods would ever look at pictures of beautiful girls on the interwebs |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 6:46 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse The only ones I've seen are the ones that are posted currently on the website linked in the original post. If she sent less sexual pictures of herself, good for her, since the ones already up are a bit on the suggestive side.
|
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 6:48 PM Author: Titillating striped hyena public bath its sad, really, that the only times i've seen your moniker on xoxo are the times when you're knocking the t14 contest and girls who are OK with it as "unprofessional". you realize that women like you are the reason men are uncomfortable in many ways at law firms--and the reason that many women feel judged by other women.
when you do this, incidentally, it makes good, respectful men tentative but does NOTHING to deter powerful sr partners from still treating women a certain way. so youre just screwing your allies or at least ppl who would potentially support you.
good work. |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 6:55 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse I'm not "knocking" the contest. I think it's relatively amusing as long as you respect the wishes of girls who want their photos removed. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the existence of attractive female law students at top law schools, especially on this board. I'd even argue that it's a positive thing to show to certain male posters here that there are hot girls in top schools who will probably be working in Biglaw in a year or two.

Date: February 26th, 2007 7:23 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse It's not just "on the internet", but on a website that many law students, lawyers, and possibly professors may visit.

Some colleagues may be more likely to form a certain viewpoint of a summer associate or junior attorney after seeing their photo, along with a message saying "funny site, I'll submit better photos when I can".
It's not at all as bad as jumping into the Hudson River, but it could attract negative attention from the firm conservatives as well as the firm pervs. |

Date: February 26th, 2007 8:30 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse If the Top 14 Girls website isn't widely circulated, then it probably isn't a big deal and you're right. If it ends up having the type of traffic of XOXO, all it takes is a few pervs or a few conservative-types for that girl's professional reputation to be tarnished (albeit mildly). There's still a double standard - socially, guys can get away with doing stuff that girls can't, and a lot of it revolves around how there's no real male equivalent for the word "slut" that's just as damaging to the male's reputation as "slut" is to a woman's.

|
Date: February 26th, 2007 9:00 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse Not really. If there's the possibility of conservatives or pervs in a law firm who might negatively judge this girl's action, then it's immature and in bad judgment to undertake that action in the first place. I'm also not a fan of the girl's narcissism.
Maybe I'm just extremely cautious and "anal" about what pictures I allow of myself to be floating around on the internet; you never know who will see it and how it may hurt you. |

This is such total horseshit. There are people all over the place who judge for all kinds of shit. It's not bad judgment to decide that those people are overly sensitive, that you don't care if they judge you, and that you'd rather face any possible negative consequences from their judgment than walk around on eggshells and avoid doing every innocent thing under the sun.
I don't understand why your own overcaution even enters the equation. |

It's not bad judgment to decide that those people are overly sensitive, that you don't care if they judge you, and that you'd rather face any possible negative consequences from their judgment than walk around on eggshells and avoid doing every innocent thing under the sun."
If these people are in a position to review your work, or are a superior of yours or a colleague of yours, a little prudence can't hurt. Prudence doesn't entail "walking on eggshells"; it's merely recognizing that one's personal and professional life are sometimes best kept separate. I would love to be that person who doesn't care if overly sensitive/conservative/perverted people form unsavory opinions of me, but I'd rather go with the flow when it comes to my professional life than adopt an "I don't give a shit" attitude. |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 9:21 PM Author: adventurous aqua sneaky criminal fat ankles Prudence also doesn't entail wringing your hands about posting a fully-clothed picture of yourself. Moreover, you're missing the larger point -- it's possible that she values the ability to do minor things like this more than the extremely small risk that some hypothetical bizarre old coot partner at a firm she may hypothetically work at some day. Not everybody has the same priorities or same risk profile that you do.
Ultimately, you're not just arguing down the slippery slope, you're ignoring the existence of a slope. This is too far on the side of the "shouldn't matter" line that judgment just doesn't enter the equation. There may be some fundie christian partner at some hypothetical firm I may work at some day who would be offended by an article in a legal periodical about creationism in public schools. Wouldn't be enough of a risk to keep me from writing it. |

And a lot of other women think the entire idea of the contest is demeaning and offensive. Considering how a decent amount of women requested their pictures removed, this isn't exactly a fringe viewpoint.
It could be that the girl didn't know the estimated traffic of the site and that she's completely unfamiliar with XOXO, though. |

and, as far as the girl who sent in pictures, hers aren't slutty at all.
men aren't going to assume she's a slut. they're going to admire. only women are jumping to slutty conclusions. if anything, seeing this girl and seeing she does to [any t14 school] i'd assume she's pretty hard to get as a result of being well educated AND attractive.
usually sluts are NOT the most attractive |

Date: February 26th, 2007 9:50 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse The pictures are par for the course in terms of silly, sexy party pics that pretty girls take when they're having fun, but people could take them the wrong way, especially the conservatives/pervs. It's about perception - I never said that she WAS a slut, but that those photos might create such an impression. The double standard still exists. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=585433&forum_id=2#7674658) |

Date: February 26th, 2007 9:52 PM Author: Titillating striped hyena public bath the double standard is a result of people like YOU convincing men that they're supposed to be super sensitive about this. and, therefore, that they should avoid/not hire a girl like this, lest they put their firm at risk bc OMG OMG someone might do/say something mildly inappropriate at some future time. maybe we should just hire robots instead of men & women and avoid any of these problems

Date: February 26th, 2007 10:04 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse I have no problem expressing unpopular opinions. I'm a bit of a social conservative, so I'm used to it.
I didn't mean to say that a man shouldn't hire a girl who was cute, fun, flirty, and laid-back. My issue is with the idea of a girl posting "better" photos of herself on this website despite knowing that it could be frequented by many of her colleagues.
I've also seen many competent females' reputations ruined for being fun and flirty with their superiors in a work setting. In some work environments this would be a non-issue, but in more conservative work environments, this could be near dingworthy if she behaved like this with work colleagues.
And yep, I'm ugly. |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 9:45 PM Author: Concupiscible impressive juggernaut telephone A lot of people think what she did shows she's fun and laid back. The pictures she forwarded were not improper, from what I saw when I glanced at them.
You're just coming off as very uptight and upleasant, and the last thing I want is to be associated with that. If you had simply pointed out that some of the older, more conservative lawfirms may not like that, that would be different. I think you would have been correct in your assessment. |

Date: February 26th, 2007 9:58 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse I am pretty conservative myself, so forgive me for being of the contingency that "may not like that", and expressing such opinions. Would I want pictures of myself in similar attire and positions floating about on a lawblog? Not at all. If she's comfortable with it then that's her business but she has to be prepared for the conservatives not to be as comfortable.

Date: February 26th, 2007 10:11 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse From what I read, other women are taking issue with the Top 14 Girls contest, much more so than I am. Other women wanted their photos removed.
I have no doubt that she's attractive and secure, and handled the idea of the contest with much more humor and sense than some of the other women. If I were in her shoes I'd be flattered, and if I wasn't happy with the photos on the website I would kindly ask the website administrator to remove them. But volunteering "better" photos and having such a fact disclosed on the website is asking for trouble. |

Date: February 26th, 2007 5:53 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse Some pretty inflammatory and offensive things are posted on this board. I worked with a summer associate last year who asked the entire room (of attorneys and summers) if they've ever posted on XOXO. I was shocked that he admitted that he posted. Some posters on here are decent but I couldn't help but wonder if some of the more misogynistic or otherwise offensive posts on this board were his. I understand that a lot of people post things for the shock value on here, but shock value comedy doesn't go over terribly well at my firm and XOXO posting isn't something that summers should voluntarily admit.

|
Date: February 26th, 2007 10:00 PM Author: Henna Aggressive Point Background Story of course it has everything to do with pettiness and cattiness.
you are projecting all sorts of negative qualities that go with submitting some pics to a silly internet beauty contest, including sluttiness, letting her guard down around clients if she has too much alcohol, etc. if anything, it is unprofessional (and sexist) to assume that a girl who does this sort of thing might have these other qualities.
people like you are the reason why male lawyers dont take females laswyers seriously and think of them as irrational, catty, and emotional beings. |
|

btw, every woman i know IRL who is confident would agree with this. its the jealous uglies/fundies who are doing this to women.
i wouldn't want to work with this woman who keeps going on and on and on about this... i'd hire the t14 girl instead. bc she acts much more rationally. she handled a situation really well |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 10:20 PM Author: Tan marvelous idiot bawdyhouse I couldn't care less about how slutty a co-worker is, as long as it doesn't affect their performance or our client relations. However, I have seen female colleagues consume too much alcohol and act in an inappropriate way towards male clients, male recruits, male co-workers etc..., and it's pretty embarrassing. If I had 10 female summer associates standing in front of me, and I knew nothing about any of them except that this one submitted sexually suggestive pictures of herself to the Top 14 Girls website, I'd probably bet on her as the horse that would do something stupid when drunk, or have otherwise bad judgment.
Of course, she could easily prove me wrong by acting professionally and appropriately and if she did solid work I'd have no problem recommending an offer for her. But that doesn't mean I have to like her or consider her the kind of person I'd choose to associate with outside the office. |
|
Date: February 26th, 2007 11:33 PM Author: Henna Aggressive Point Background Story the point is that its immature, irrational, and catty to project qualities like sluttiness and bad judgment on someone based on submitting some pics to a harmless contest, esp. when someone else submitted photos in the first place.
dont worry, im sure she wouldnt want ot associate with you either. |

And earlier you were talking about how the men do this to women because the women project themselves in a certain way.
So...when the women drunkenly hit on the men it'sbecause the women are acting unprofessional and when the men drunkenly hit on the women it's ALSO because the women are acting unprofessional. Boy is that a double standard.

I'd give the girl ample time to prove that she can conduct herself professionally but the fact that she posted these photos would give me a rather negative first impression of her that she'd have to overcome.
The photos she submitted of herself are also rather sexual-looking, even for "party pics". It's clear that this girl doesn't mind (and even enjoys) being seen as a sex object by her future colleagues in the legal profession. |

Doctors make 500k+ in any rural area. They can also take long vacations(they make their own schedule), while as a partner at a law firm you cannot. beyond 500k any worthy woman doesnt care about your income, especially in low col areas. most lawyers are jews. you look like one too. doctors are >50% nonwhite only at certain schools. Many others are 70%+ white. many doctors are interested in sports. have you heard about a surgeon getting his hands amputated after climbing mt everest? many more serve in the military as officers, they fly jets and eat dinner with captains of aircraft carriers in the indian ocean. only a fag would compare a lawyer to a doctor. |

When someone says "I'll never have an abortion", she usually means that if she gets pregnant from a consensual sexual encounter, and if there's no pre-natal evidence of birth defects, and if the pregnancy doesn't endanger her health or her life, she'll carry the pregnancy to term-- a reasonable stance, but not one that merits the word "never". |

I think she's being a little extreme in saying she'd assume the girl is a slut, can't handle her liquor well, will be unprofessional, etc. I wouldn't assume negative things like that about a girl because she submitted pics to this site.
It doesn't seem like a particularly prudent thing to do though. Xoxo is seen as a really sketchy site, and those guys who run this contest might be in all sorts of trouble for posting pics of girls there against there will. I wouldn't want to cooperate with guys who run a site that stole girls' pics and refused to take them down when asked. Considering how most of the girls involved seem to feel about the contest, participating in it willingly might draw negative reactions from her peers.
It just seems like an odd thing to do - sending in additional pics, as though to make herself competitive in the contest. I don't really think badly of her for it, but it seems like something that most girls wouldn't want to have advertised about them. |
