People hold that narrative because it’s true. Weinstein was known in Hollywood for destroying careers over far less than a “fuck off.” He did it for decades. It’s well documented. Stop trolling.
Right? This comment section illustrates why women don’t speak up about rape. Even with clear video evidence of escalating harassment, it’s still apparently her fault for not screaming “fuck off”, kicking him in the nuts and going Rambo on a 300-lb serial rapist who was the most powerful person in her field and held…
Its no different than the people who second guess other traumatic situations. “I would have charged the cockpit!” “I would have taken the shooters gun away!” etc. Its easy in the cold calm rational daylight to say what you’d do but in the moment people’s brains do all kinds of crazy shit. They freeze, they…
This is a master example of exactly how a woman is basically trained from birth to act when someone you work with, or aspire to work with, or someone with more power than you in the room is doing something that makes you completely uncomfortable and inappropriate. You sort of “go along” with it to try to defuse it, or…
Yes, telling a powerful business colleague who could make or break careers with one phone call to “fuck off” was totally the sensible thing to do and wouldn’t have harmed her ability to feed herself or pay her rent whatsoever! What on earth would women do without victim blamers and your amazing “life hacks”?
“the sixth” sense you mention is always hindsight 20/20. You go home and go “wtf just happened?” EVERYONE DOES THAT who has those moments on camera to go back to, and go hmm, I should’ve, could’ve...
Your stupid lifehack would have led to her never working again. Think.
And you can’t win because if you call them on it, even ask them to stop or put some clear boundaries up, they’ll take their ball and leave, and with a creep like Weinstein you’ll likely never work again in that field. We need to address the elephant in the room: a lot of men really, really hate women and want to…
Because it wasn’t 100% his fault.
This is the only correct response.
Since this is already out of the greys:
This 300 pound shit bag could have killed her with his pinky. She did the smart thing because she survived. Don’t shame survivors for how they choose to survive.
I keep hearing women and men say well she should have left. This guy is going after women that haven’t reached that fuck off point yet. Her company was depending on her to land a deal with Harvey and she tried her hardest. That’s why she stayed. Also, he locked the fucking door. He is a rapist. He did this kind of…
Fuck off with that.
What you said is an appropriate response to unwanted overt sexual intimidation but you have to remember that many of his victims were in a position where he could make or break their careers (or businesses). In other words, you’re blaming the victim.
I really enjoyed this show, and honestly the pacing of it (with the exception of the episode where Camille does drugs with Amma, that one felt unnecessary). But then, as I said in a different thread, I don’t really watch/read straight mysteries much, I much prefer “mysteries as a vehicle to examine the disturbed mind…
She may have had a different plan if she knew there was anti freeze and rat poison in “the blue”. She knew she’d be sick but not literally deathly ill. Amma’s been drinking that shit for years!
I thought it was true to the character and the story that she went the route that she did. It might have been the first time in her entire life that she felt loved by her mom, and given Amma’s relationship with Dora she probably also needed it to come from the outside rather than be the family-destroyer herself.
While my Ashley— girlfriend of John Keene— theory fell flat as an accomplice, it made even more sense that it was Amma as a second killer all along. It was, as we say in these parts, two things.
