Yeah, but Working Girl was a real shit-show of a movie.

People did NOT believe Anita Hill. She was “vindictive.” She was “a woman scorned.” She was “just trying to get attention.” She was “making a huge fuss over harmless jokes.”
This case was a classic “Catch 22.” Clarence Thomas was absolutely put on “trial” because of racism, because whites label black men as sexual predators. It is not an accident that he was put on “trial” for harassment when thousands of powerful white men were not! Nevertheless, Ms. Hill carefully documented her…
I don’t know anything about football (ask me about tennis) but I wish the Packers would give him a job, just to give Paul Ryan fits.
Roethlisberger’s a rapist.
Yes, a guy silently kneeling at the beginning of the game to highlight the problem of police brutality is “bullshit” and “nonsense” on par with Terrell fucking Owens’ antics.
Find your fucking bridge, troll.
I used to have a quote from the educator/activist Jonathan Kozol above my desk that said something to the effect of “charity is no replacement for justice”. I think about that often in appeals for disaster relief.
I believe people believed Anita Hill, I think at the time they thought it was no big deal. And sadly, many women get hardened to the idea of another woman getting hers when so many others put up with it, suffer and get through it. After I watched the footage of her statements, I KNEW she was telling the truth, But it…
Does anyone else find it incredibly fucked that Americans are pushed to be charitable so often for relief drives like this? By that I mean: I’ve paid the government my taxes to go help my fellow citizens. Why do I need to step in again? Is this the norm outside of the US as well?
I’ll bet a lot of people listened, those people mostly being female actors. It’s just that no one who could actually do anything about it listened (and some may not have heard since many women who had been raped/ groped/ otherwise assaulted or creeped on felt safe telling them).
Even with her mental health/substance abuse issues, Courtney Love behaves a lot better than a lot of men in Hollywood.
I doubt Ted Cruz would ever hobnob with “Hollywood Elites”
Right. And because of his pull in Hollywood, those that did speak out had to do so with coded language. He could ruin people and I understand not wanting to cross that.
Her statement about CAA doesn’t surprise me. She’s (shockingly) a good actress, and yet kinda disappeared from acting right around that time.
I dunno. When Man on the Moon and the Larry Flynt movie were out a lot of critics showered major praise on her acting. I think there’s even an embarrassing quote from Roger Ebert that suggested the greatest legacy of grunge might turn out to be Love’s acting career.
with the number of personal accounts of people warning other people about Weinstien coming out, it seems to me like it’s not the fault of anyone not saying anything about him, it’s that nobody listened or took them seriously.
When Courtney Love is willing to zing you (in spite of the consequences) on the red carpet at a Comedy Central event, pretty much you are either a greasy fiend or admitted to being the Zodiac Killer.
