Quick and Dirty, from a legal industry person:

RAGE STROKE.

Amen. I took the “bitch” path. They don’t like me but I am still employed and make more $ than my “say nothing back” peers. (Not that there is anything wrong with that, I envy them, their day may be more tolerable)

Remember the fat, gross, abusive guy that Tom Cruise played in Tropic Thunder? That character was based on Weinstein.

It’s still very much a man’s world, and HW was not a special snowflake in his terrible behavior. I’ve come to the conclusion that women have only two choices when it comes to enduring workplace misogyny, harassment, and bullying: be a total fucking bitch from the start or be a guy. There’s rarely a scenario where…

I think their physical grossness was a weapon they wielded against women: “you WILL touch me. I know I am disgusting, and I will feel that much more powerful knowing that I can force you to touch me anyway.”

Is ‘We keep things fun and spicy’ the celebrity marriage advice equivalent of ‘I just drink a lot of water’ for health?

I wonder if some corporations tried to do that, but the organizers disallowed it.

I am waiting for some of Weinstein’s “assistants” to be prosecuted (or at least named) for aiding and abetting assault (or conspiracy or whatever the charge would be). In SOOO many of these stories, the assistant would be there to lure the woman into a false sense of security and then leave.

It doesn’t really matter if they are valid or not. That’s an issue to be litigated in court. And he has a lot more money and resources to fight a legal battle than even the most famous actress.

Ronan Farrow is doing a fucking excellent hatchet job on these dudes. He’s creating an opening for it all to be hit by sunlight. I can’t help but think he’s taking on the entire structure as a way to get to Woody Allen. I admire Ronan’s perseverance. These dudes created a wall of silence to protect people like Woody…

Makes me question the rumors about Katherine Heigl being difficult.

Any woman who comes forward, rich or famous, has to put herself out there to be subjected to any number of mentally and physically invasive discussions and procedures to prove what happened. Her body becomes evidence and her life is scrutinized. She has to face down her perpetrator, his friends, family, people she…

Yeah, unless an actor also got in trouble for violent behavior or drug addiction issues in real life I’ve always taken those stories of being difficult with a box of salt. I thought it meant they didn’t let themselves get walked all over and it looks like I was right.

Men of Hollywood: What could we have done? Who could we have told? We had nobody to actually go to! See? We couldn’t actually do anything.

Ya know, I hate the gun nut phrase that things could have been better in some case if there’d been a ‘good guy with a gun’ nearby, but god damn I wish Harvey W had run into some woman packing a .38 who had shot his dick off, in some Tarantino movie style scene with a shitty 70s AM radio soundtrack.

I’m pretty sure he was trying to write “covfefesucker.”

She’s probably talking about fund raising.

Interesting that the Issues statements quoted here are all about the needs of others. Women never think of themselves (as individuals) first! Nobody’s saying “I want a tax cut!” “I want Roe v Wade overturned!” “I don’t want statues taken down!” or anything that is self-directed. I wonder if that’s a good thing or not,…
