7. There's also a reason why female models get paid about 10x more than male models

It's all about supply and demand. I'd love to see female athletes get paid just as much as male athletes but the demand is just not there. If more women were interested in watching sports, specifically female sports, I'm sure their salaries would significantly increase.

As as far as male models go, they might as well fuhgeddaboudit, there's pretty much zero chance of getting enough men interested in fashion and cosmetics to justify anything more than they're currently being paid.
