1. Maybe it's the men who buy the swimsuit issue who are being exploited.

5. You don't think so?
You don't think SI is exploiting men's enjoyment of nearly naked models to make millions of dollars?

9. You don't need force to have exploitation.
But SI does exploit men's interest in nearly naked models in order to get them to part with their money.

3. No, not "exploited" - the word is "ignorant"
So ignorant they are willing to abuse themselves to conform to a style of beauty that is truly ignorant and unbeautiful, for the pleasure of men who have no brains that are worth a shit and who should be executed/genocided right off the planet.

4. This Postulate of yours only holds
if you then claim all persons who use their body to gain money (or power, fame, influence) are also exploited!

Are Boxers exploited?
Are Basketball player exploited?
Are Olympic athelets exploited?
Are runway models exploited?

Coors stinks...

Drink a good midwestern microbrew, I know you can get one!

11. in "Space Jam"
His comedic talents, timing, delivery, acting range.
