I think it points to a deep sense of insecurity or something. She brings up the fact that she’s not conventionally beautiful a lot (which I find so strange!) and it seems like statements like this are to console herself about it - she gets a benefit from it that beautiful women don’t. It’s a terrible statement. Are we…

Oh, thank God: I was afraid that Woody Allen wasn’t going to put his five-cents in on this. It’s okay, everyone! Woody Allen has spoken!

I think a lot of people have been addressing the obvious fallacy that only young, beautiful, thin, sexy women are sexually harassed or assaulted. Or that you can somehow shield yourself from unwanted attention with conservative clothes and a disdain for pilates and manicures. As if children, elderly people, fat…

“I have never felt so insecure that I’d think beautiful actresses were the problem.”

In a few words: Men fear us. They have ALWAYS feared us and our power, Since the day they are born to a woman they feel it, and it has created all of the religions and mythologies (and everything else) that keep even the weakest of them safe from the threat that we pose - that we will come to our senses one day and…

My dad is a Harvey Weinstein, albeit without the money and power. Growing up, he constantly harassed women in front of me and taught me that women- including myself- were objects who asked for the attention based on how they looked or were dressed. He also went after underage girls and was sexually abusive toward me…

Seems to me that’s what you’re doing right now.

That is what they do, act. Who knows what the real them is like, and if we’ve ever seen it?

“And now, here is Casey Affleck to present the Roman Polanski lifetime achievement award to Woody Allen!”

“ both Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski remain members in good standing of the group” So... this is a pretty toothless statement then. Seems status quo to me.  

You’re talking about our safety as if it’s some fun philosophical debate. You’ve come to a space intended for women and are arguing with us over how we should best deal with men invading our space and threatening our bodies. And I am just not here for that.

There absolutely is a strict choice between safety and…

This. If a name ends up being a lead, a journalist can chase a story. If the story ends up being libelous, the subject can sue.

Something like this is certainly ripe for abuse, and I’m going to let you in on a little secret among us anonymous women: we don’t fucking care, and this isn’t about you.

I’ll preface this by stating that I am a black leftist.

I will never not be shocked at how worried people seem to be about mens reputations but not women’s safety.

It’s definitely a running trend on Jezebel; whenever anything strongly feminist is published, something that strongly calls out men or mens culture,; the first couple of comments are always male commentors trying to deny it, criticise it etc. etc. Luckily these comments usually have less stars, and are followed…

Also, a good indicator to any and all women in the industry who to potentially avoid or at least be wary of.

Yeah, I’m so confused. People are trying to blame Weinstein on his victims for not publicizing their ordeals, but women coming forward about other men is now bad. Hmmm, ok?

We, the women, are not confused. No one published any list, so the men are still safe from any accusations. Women absolutely have the right to share this kind of information among themselves, and to talk about the things that happen to most of us at some point, and journalists have the right to talk about women doing…

I really wish all the girls and women on earth could share their stories about the men they have encountered. A Yelp for men is very problematic, but some of the guys I have encountered should have come with a warning sign. The culture of silence allows these types to go on and on and on repeating their horrendous…
