Why aren't feminists speaking out about this???

Jeremy Meeks, the "hot convict" who set the Internet aflame with his blue-eyed stare and head cocked just so in a recent mug shot, has taken his fame to the next level.

The California con, known to some as "Dreamy McMug," has scored a modeling contract with Blaze Modelz, according to media reports.

But before he gets in front a camera not operated by the police, Meeks needs to get out of jail. He is currently being held on $1,050,000 bail after his arrest on seven felony charges, including "street terrorism," and two misdemeanors for resisting arrest and revocation of parole, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office says.

Meeks, 30, shot to fame last month after the Stockton Police Department posted his booking photo on Facebook. The image has earned 100,000+ likes and counting.

Meeks previously did time for grand theft and has had numerous other run-ins with the law. The Los Angeles Times reports that he's a documented member of the Northside Gangster Crips, but his family insists that he's put that connection in his past.

His mother writes on a website set up to help raise money for his bail that Meeks has a job and no gang affiliations, but that his old tattoos cause him to be stereotyped.

If Meeks ever gets out of jail and is able to cash in on that modeling contract, he may face another problem: The camera hasn't always been so kind to him.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A handsome mug shot of a Northern California man arrested on felony weapons charges has gone viral on social media, attracting more than 33,000 "likes" and drawing comments praising his high cheek bones, chiseled face and striking blue eyes.

Jeremy Meeks, 30, a convicted felon, was arrested Wednesday on five weapons charges and one gang charge, according to Officer Joseph Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.

Silva declined to say what Meeks was previously convicted of, saying the department does not routinely release information about a suspect's criminal history.

No previous arrest photo has garnered so much positive attention since the department set up the Facebook page in March 2012, Silva told The Associated Press.

"I have not seen that many likes for a photo before," he said.

By late Thursday, Meeks' arrest photo had garnered more than 33,000 "likes," and 10,400 comments, and had been shared more than 3,300 times. Other postings on the site generally receive hundreds of "likes."

Meeks was one of four men taken into custody during Operation Ceasefire, a multiagency mission to curb a recent increase in shootings and robberies in the Weston Ranch area of Stockton, a Northern California city of about 300,000 nestled amid the network of waterways that form the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

Felon Jeremy Meeks, who was objectified over facebook, twitter, and YouTube, lands a job through the modeling agency "Blaze."

Have you read facebook? One female said he would let him rape her pussy...Really?

But I have Facebook, and I had to sift through over a thousand comments about how he would let him (Meeks) "**** them"

Well yes most of my anger is because he was promoted so much he found a job...

Not hot! Jeremy Meeks, known across the Internet for his viral mugshot, is facing a federal gun charge.

On Thursday, a federal grand jury returned an indictment charging Meeks, 30, with being a felon in possession of a .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol.

Meeks was arrested June 18 on a gun charge in Stockton, Calif. Meeks told KXTV that he was a gang member and that he had a gun in the trunk of his car when arrested. He has a felony grand theft conviction from 2002.

San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office spokesman Robert Himelblau said that when a suspect ends up being charged by both the state and federal governments, the DA's office will often step aside because the feds have the "bigger hammer," meaning the suspect could likely serve more time if convicted. He could face up to 10 years in prison, according to the indictment.

Himelblau also said Meeks could be moved to Sacramento for federal court appearances and prosecution. But that decision will not be made until next week.

Currently, Meeks is being held in San Joaquin County Jail on $1.1 million bail.

According to Dr. Gordon Patzer, who has concluded 3 decades of research on physical attractiveness, human beings are hard-wired to respond more favorably to attractive people: “Good-looking men and women are generally regarded to be more talented, kind, honest and intelligent than their less attractive counterparts.” Patzer contends, “controlled studies show people go out of their way to help attractive people—of the same sex and opposite sex—because they want to be liked and accepted by good-looking people.” Even studies of babies show they will look more intently and longer at attractive faces, Patzer argues.

these same outspoken women can also educate the masses of women who objectify Meeks because how can feminist seek to bring equality if they don't speak up on behalf of men who are objectified by women?

Legislation authorising the ordination of women as deacons was passed in 1986 and they were first ordained in 1987. The ordination of women as priests was passed by the General Synod in 1993 and began in 1994. In 2010, for the first time in the history of the Church of England, more women than men were ordained as priests (290 women and 273 men).[24]

In July 2005, the synod voted to "set in train" the process of allowing the consecration of women as bishops. In February 2006, the synod voted overwhelmingly for the "further exploration" of possible arrangements for parishes that did not want to be directly under the authority of a woman bishop.[25] On 7 July 2008, the Synod voted to approve the ordination of women as bishops and rejected moves for alternative episcopal oversight for those who do not accept women bishops.[26] Actual ordinations of women to the episcopate will require further legislation, which was narrowly rejected in a vote at General Synod in November 2012.[27][28]

At its meeting on 7 February 2013, the House of Bishops decided that eight senior women clergy, elected regionally, would participate in all meetings of the house until such time as there were six female bishops to sit as of right.[29]

On 20 November 2013, the General Synod voted overwhelmingly in support of a plan to introduce women bishops, with 378 in favour, 8 against and 25 abstentions.[30]
