Sounds weird to say, but I found myself glad that this showed that it's not something that happens only to people involved with the arts. Hopefully more people will be willing to acknowledge that this isn't right. I really think that this is a bigger deal than people are making it out to be. In a capitalist society, where earning power is a prime motivator in determining professional pursuits, this kind of thing says, "what you're doing is good, but not valuable".
