"Hollywood as always been on the forefront of women's rights, right? In the 30's, 40's and 50's, they were so progressive on women's rights that studios forced their female stars to get abortions, whether they wanted them or not."

who is making the argument that Hollywood was at the forefront of women’s rights in the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s?

I enjoyed this piece

this is about so much more than just Hollywood, which some are trying to frame it as

The potted plant asked for it and dressed provocatively and was therefore not a victim.

what’s the over/under on how many women this shitcycle raped? 20?

[Edited on October 12, 2017 at 7:27 PM. Reason : Prob waaaay more tho]

10/12/2017 7:26:37 PM

Straight up raped? Not sure about 20. If you consider forcing oneself on to someone so much that they just relent? Probably hundreds.

10/12/2017 9:35:18 PM

Yes I believe I would consider the latter to be rape, especially considering some of the things I’ve read, like the article posted.

10/12/2017 9:39:35 PM

glad to see a genuine Todd Aiken moment happen ITT

10/12/2017 10:34:49 PM

so if i decline the first offer at the dealership, and end up buying the car, is the purchase valid?

and what if a girl agrees to sex under the presumption she will get a role amd then doesnt get a role, is that rape?

[Edited on October 12, 2017 at 11:09 PM. Reason : questions no one has courage to ask]

10/12/2017 11:09:03 PM

They need to come up with another word for it.

10/12/2017 11:45:44 PM

^^LOL, so "courageous" to ask such "controversial" questions. But whatever...people unsuccessfully try to trade sex for payment all the time, and no, we don't call that rape. (I'd definitely key a dude's car though and maybe make a scene at his place of work.)

To be clear, your embarrassing questions are kind of the point. These women declined to come forward in the past, in part, because they knew their character and their motives would be questioned unreasonably.

I mean, only one woman actually went to the police with a report. The results? A slew of nasty items about her popped up in the papers, and the DA declined to prosecute despite the dead-to-rights evidence that she endangered herself to help the police procure.


But, please, don't let the facts of this story stop you from bravely asking the tough questions.

10/12/2017 11:50:01 PM

Another one bites the Earl

10/13/2017 12:03:16 AM

those questions were just part of the general discussion and not about any specific woman.

thats why it takes courage. because you know people will take you questioning one specific type of case and characterize it as you questioning all rape cases

[Edited on October 13, 2017 at 12:07 AM. Reason : thats how tww works]

10/13/2017 12:05:44 AM

I don't get the Todd Aiken reference, I mean, I know who he is and what he's said, but I'm not sure who here is claiming that any type of "legitimate" rape happened here.

10/13/2017 7:47:37 AM

rape is rape and doesn’t need a qualifier

10/13/2017 9:19:23 AM

But who here is adding the qualifier?

10/13/2017 9:23:16 AM

Just because Weinstein didn't wear a ski mask and hold a gun to these girls' heads, doesn't make it any less rapey.

10/13/2017 9:33:57 AM

I'm not the one making that claim.

But legally, how many counts of rape would they be able to charge him with, if his constant bickering and threats of "no work in this town" ended up with some type of consent? Is there a case for some type of "forced consent"?

democrats are only disgusted by what he did because its out now

10/15/2017 7:10:30 PM

^democrats?

10/15/2017 8:57:10 PM

yeah they didnt question him until it became such a hot topic that they had to.

10/16/2017 2:41:22 AM

They certainly didn't mind taking his money.

Clinton especially. Her husband was buddies with this guy - they knew what was up, and didn't care.

10/16/2017 9:13:02 AM

how do you know that they knew what was up?

10/16/2017 9:39:33 AM

Common sense? General lack of trust in Clintons?

10/16/2017 9:48:15 AM

you want to believe that they knew because you aren’t fans of them

10/16/2017 10:04:24 AM

If you lined up millionaire, disgusting, campaign donating, sexual predators on both political parties...they'd more than likely be even.

At least the Clintons and Obama didn't come to his defense like Trump did with Ailes and O'Reilly. Glass houses you stupid mother fuckers.

10/16/2017 10:05:00 AM

I have no doubt there's sexual predation in Trump's background. I mean he defended Mike Tyson when he was accused of rape. Nothing that I say regarding the Clinton's excuses anything anybody else, including Trump, has done.

It would be nice to get some type of outing from Washington, just like we've gotten one from Hollywood.

10/16/2017 10:26:35 AM

Oh look, good ol' Harvey donated money to help get Bill out of legal trouble back in the day:

Quote :

"Hollywood was quick to come to the president's aid. Among the 62 donors giving the maximum $10,000 were performers and directors such as Tom Hanks, Barbra Streisand, Michael Douglas, Ron Howard, Norman Lear, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw-Spielberg as well as studio executives Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen, Harvey Weinstein and Bud Yorkin."

which rightwing site linked to that this morning?

10/16/2017 11:28:13 AM

the conservatives trying to connect weinstein to the clintons realize they elected donald trump, right?

10/16/2017 11:40:41 AM

they also had a child molester as Speaker of the House

10/16/2017 11:44:55 AM

I think the takeaway here is a good portion of your high ranking officials and celebs are fucked in the head, whether conservative or liberal.

10/16/2017 12:12:35 PM

That’s the problem with having any kind of political debate. Each side thinks their team are angels that have never made a mistake and that the other side are complete devils. The reality is that both political groups are full of complete and total shit bags that do not care about you. All they want from you is your tax money and your vote.

[Edited on October 16, 2017 at 1:04 PM. Reason : your]

10/16/2017 1:02:55 PM

I don't consider the right a bunch of angels. They greedy, power-hungry men and women, just like the left. The right end up being hypocrites when they talk about pro-life stances, among other things. The left are definitely hypocrites when it comes to women's rights, among other things. Some people here however, definitely have blinders on when it comes to their political affiliation..

Back to Harvey. His legal team took another hit. It really looks like he's not going to have anyone but maybe an assigned public defender to protect him. And I bet Scotland Yard won't put up with any BS when it comes to his crimes.

10/16/2017 1:20:01 PM

And people say its funny how folks are trying to connect Weinsten and the Clintons? Well take a gander at this article. It links the Trumps with Weinstein in the title, however there is no link between the two, other than some corrupt district attorney who just happened to see two completely unrelated cases from the two parties mentioned in the title.
