Wow, the People Who Write for “Barstool Sports” are Misogynistic Assholes

I came across this article from a site called “Barstool Sports,” which I’d never heard of before. I should have been tipped off that this was going to be a bad article from the very first sentence:

It would have nothing to do with this post, but I’d still be happy to receive it.) Are you picturing it? Good. Now ask yourself: “Why did I become a pornstar?”

Wait, does anyone not consume porn?
