Been many years ago and I can’t remember where I read it, but during the filming of Marathon Man, Hoffman was jogging like mad before a scene and Lawrence Olivier asked him, “Why can’t you just act?”

“Meryl Streep’s boyfriend”....his name was John Cazale and he was pretty famous in his own right. 

Isn’t Henstridge’s allegation rape and not sexual misconduct there?

I like mayors.

I don’t care if she has bathtubs filled with coke, Harvey still shouldn’t rape people.

Come on. Words have meanings. He’s a Pederast; he’s an Ephebophile. A Pedophile is attracted to pre-pubescent children, which is not the case here.

OK, I truly don’t want this to turn into a terminology thread - the news is that Kevin Spacey doesn’t deny sexually assaulting a child. Again, though, the issue can be confused by inaccurate words because pederasty refers to male-male homosexual relations. Historically, it also includes the belief that the boy was…

It’s only pedophilia in the “popular” sense of the term, since Rapp wasn’t prepubescent at the time. I really don’t want to distract from the real issue here, but I believe that accurate use of terminology is helpful in discussions that are complicated to begin with.

having sex with a 14-year old minor would legally be paedophilia, but it’s actually ephebofilia. Big difference.

Weinstein, they allege, highly influenced the tabloid press and would threaten smear campaigns.

What the people who say that do not understand - in fact, probably anyone to whom it hasn’t happened doesn’t understand - is that to come forward is to relive.

I’m interested in people’s answers to Tarantino’s rhetorical question: “what was I supposed to do?”

I feel weird about all the fat-shaming comments I’ve been seeing on Jezebel since the Weinstein scandal broke. It literally has nothing to do with them being fat, and being fat has only a very tenuous relationship with self-control. It also seems quite a dangerous link to draw in cases like this, where an abuser’s…

I was in my early 20's living in Los Angeles and working in a very male dominated industry at the time. The “Anita Hill Thing”, as they called it, freaked them OUT. We had multiple training sessions about sexual harassment. A new reporting system was implemented. New employee hand books written, the works. All the…

You and I have very different memories of the effect the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings had. I was 40 at the time and it seemed to me that things really didn’t change that much at all. And I remember how Anita Hill was just almost universally crucified by men for her testimony, and by some women as well.

ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkk this guyyyyy and, in case you forgot,

No, we support “freedom fighters.”

If you’re doing that in bed, that’s absolutely hideous sleep hygiene (something that you might want to look up.)
