Remember Oprah’s recent sit-down with some folks-divided in Michigan (?) That 30-something sales-dude who just loves it, loves him, loves him more every day for what 45 is doing for us.

Please, Summer. Take him out at the knees.
THIS. I was telling a male friend last night that while it may not be “all men” it’s definitely “all women.” All women have a story of sexual harassment or assault. Every. Single. One. We aren’t alone.
Wasn’t this story brought to light by Ronan Farrow? Bless him for doing so (seriously, Ronan will always be welcome to my dinner table), but once again, it’s a case of nobody listening until a man says something.
You know what? Based on what you wrote it was an actual assault. Even if the experience did not involve physical force, but coercion, fraud, or manipulation, it was real. Don’t second guess yourself, that’s what they want you to do. I hope you’re OK.
More like one man...rumor is Weinsteins own brother was the source for the story. No one believed all those hysterical bitches, but just one man tells them the same story and all if a sudden it’s front page news. That’s why now.
One thing that’s been bothering me this week is seeing Weinstein’s face all over the place. Every once in a while I’ll see the face of a person who sexually assaulted me (thanks FB/insta) and it will take my breath away for a moment. Can we stop plastering his picture everywhere yet, so the victims don’t have to be…
......thanx for this.....I’m sensing a lot of hate-Love vibe on this thread.....I thought she was a good actress in the few films I saw her in, mostly she was just thirsty before that word became trendy.....but I give her ALL CREDIT for speaking out ON CAMERA when nobody else…
Except for practically all of them. Everyone just grins and chuckles and then cries in the limo on the way home.
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).
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.
Now, don’t be disgusting.
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.
I’m 33 and it’s taken me until yesterday. We’ll all get there eventually. He went super quiet so I’m not sure if I made my point or if he just wanted to stop talking about it. Either way, it was the best outcome for me.
Good for you. I’m successful in 2 fields at both my jobs. My father insists on bringing up a painful experience where I was let go due to a nasty jealous undermining boss. The day I stood up to him I set an ultimatum. “ If you continue this, knowing it still is a is a hurtful experience, I will leave and stop…
To my delight they had shifted around the US rooms, so they were all in a different spot! I also got a great tech. She didn’t make me sit in suspense.
YAY! I’m so glad it went well. Hopefully being back in there wasn’t too traumatic for you. And now you have lovely good feelings in that room to help.
I stood up to my dad last night. I STOOD UP TO MY DAD! He’s been hounding me, he hates the job I have, for some unknown reason. I used to be an attorney, I still am, but don’t practice. He wants me to have a job that I’m passionate about, but still make six figures. According to him, my sister, 8 years younger than I…
This week I had an ultrasound and my little fetus is the right size and looking perfect and never. stops. moving. :D
