“This is the real reason why I left news: I finally came to accept that the vanity of a byline was keeping me in a job that left me physically and emotionally exhausted, yet supremely unsatisfied.”

I can relate to this.

“The women that we feature in the magazine are ornamental. That is how we see them […] I could lie to you and say they’re interested in their brains as well, but on the whole, we’re not. They’re there to be beautiful objects.” - Alex Bilmes, editor of Esquire UK.
