I get that but I also think it is a bit different than a slip and fall in a grocery store. There are other grocery stores you can go to. Not many other Hollywood careers she could get. It isn't her fault if she got assaulted but she did sign the deal.... I'm just not going to call her a pos because of it.
Not sure why you assign Wiener to me. I've never defended him. I don't like creepy republicans, it's true. I don't like creepy democrats either. And I most especially don't like creepy libertarians (although I guess that's redundant). barfo
The whole article is a terrific read. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/fe...harvey-weinstein-you-did-guest-column-1049819 The creator of 'Designing Women' and Clinton confidant details horrific stories of sexual impropriety and abuse of power ("The No. 1 casting criterion for an actress is that she be 'hot and f---able") and reveals she warned Democrat operatives about Harvey Weinstein's rumored behavior. I will be the first to admit that clearly delineated moral choices can still be painfully complex where friendship is involved. One of the best friends I will ever have and a man I love dearly, former President Bill Clinton, has certainly taxed my feminist conscience, but always without diminishing my affection. I even helped write his apology to the nation for his own sexual misconduct, was sitting next to him when he delivered it, and believe to this day it was based on something that was none of our business. And yes, some may call it hypocritical, but I confess to having had no problem warning at least three top-level Democratic operatives against allowing Harvey Weinstein to host political fundraisers. A warning that evidently (and to the glee of Fox News) fell on deaf ears.
I cannot fathom how people can mistreat women like Hollywood has for decades. Women are awesome and fully capable in all aspects of life, and deserve to be honored and treated like they are awesome and fully capable. Tomasson's article talks about how women in Hollywood are discarded when they age, which is true. She talks about women being cast as prostitutes, but I don't have an issue with that. She talks about the depiction of rape, but the last depiction of rape of a man was Deliverance, 40 years ago. I think she's wrong, that there are depictions of rape of men, although maybe not as graphic. I also think it's hopefully eye opening to see the brutality of what rape does to a woman and hopefully men will see it and not want to cause such harm. Roy Price, head of Amazon Studios, resigned after claims of sexual harassment. Good riddance. Replace him with a capable woman. For a change. Price reportedly asked "will they show their titties" about the actresses in at least one show Amazon was considering. While crude on the surface, titties sells. I'm pretty sure most heterosexual men appreciate them. There has to be a line where what's good for business can be tolerated but actual harassment punished to the fullest extent possible. Price is guilty of much more egregious sexual harassment incidents. These two guys are just the tip of the iceberg. The women coming forward with their stories are to be respected. But they need to name names so we can drain the swamp.
