Why bother going to a place that awards abusers? Because it is THEIR place. Not going would be like sitting out the Women’s March in Washington D.C. on Jan. 21 because some abusive asshole was awarded the presidency.

Thank you!

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your experience(s) with organizing. I have participated in organized events, but never as an organizer and never at a grass roots level when a movement is just being started. Your perspective is really helpful and I appreciate that you took the time to share it.

It’s not about winning the actual award or not, it’s being able to show your face at a public event. If the victims stay home, if no one stands up, the abusers win. Not an award, mind you, they win in the sense that they are still the one who holds the power.

Yeah, nice try but I’m gonna keep directing 100% of my anger toward Harry Weinstein and his direct enablers until justice is served and he dies in prison. Only then will I concern myself with stylist Erica Cloud’s take on the situation.

The dichotomy of “Stick to making movies and entertaining me”and “YOU AREN’T DOING ENOUGH” is exhausting.

Not necessarily. Many of those being recognized for film and television are indeed veteran actors, but there are up and coming actors who attend as well. That’s not my point.

I just don’t believe that women should be removing themselves. Show up, be loud, shine brighter.

So women should be punished and then sued for breach of contract due to behavior from others?

They should stay home, you say? So miss this valuable opportunity to be recognized as well as network in their professional capacities? Ok. Well then. Who’s next? The people who have been harassed at work, don’t go to work. The people who have been harassed when they go out at night, you stay home too. Stay home and…

Oh yeah, women should limit their whereabouts to protest rape culture.

Oh yes, good. Don’t worry about holding the actual abusers accountable, let’s just blame Meryl.

It’s their job and dressing celebrities could be viewed as vapid, but it’s part of the billion dollar fashion industry. When asked about yourself and what you’re doing for your occupation you’ll talk about it. You or I can view it as stupid, but a large % of the world will be paying attention. To quote Sigourney…

I totally agree with you about solidarity. 🙂 And I’m not trying to pile on, just so you know. I think I am simply relishing a chance to see women actors eviscerate the industry men on stage.

What I saw going on with this post? Is this Breitbart or Jezebel? It’s been widely reported those Meryl posters were the work of an alt right troll mad at Streep’s denunciation of our predator president, not something feminists or anyone else should be lauding.

You ignored my point though. Why should the victims skip an event where they’re recognized for their work? And to your point, why do you think any of the known abusers are invited?

That stylist was asked a question about styling and answered the question with a response about styling. Can we save our vitriol for where it’s really deserved please?

Here’s a quote from stylist Erica Cloud on ABC News:

Why exactly is Jezebel promoting the Trump supporter who made the Meryl Streep posters?

That wasn’t a quote about rape, and that was a pretty messed up thing to do to a stylest who was, presumably, being asked a question about her job.
