Maxiemom 623 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 I'm just assuming everyone is guilty of harassment until proven innocent at this point. Better to be pleasantly surprised than disappointed, disillusioned or disgusted. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixiedoodah 1,003 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 I feel like we should start a Please No list. People we hope never make the perv list. Im really hoping that Tom Hanks and Mr. Rogers (necessary after Cosby) stay clean. Ill add Jimmy Carter and Dan Rather too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im really hoping that Tom Hanks and Mr. Rogers (necessary after Cosby) stay clean. Ill add Jimmy Carter and Dan Rather too. I'll add the Obamas to that list - both Barack and Michelle. We're not hearing much about women harassers but I'm not naive enough to think that they aren't out there. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree but I'm superstitious that even THINKING their names in connection to, as Lainey calls it, the Hollywood Pervert Advent Calendar will cause them to somehow be outed.

witchkitten 309 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 Not Mr. Rodgers. Never Mr. Rodgers. That would be the most shocking for me. Obama and Jimmy Carter would be huge shockers too, and very very disappointing. I also hope Ian McKellen stays off the list. Of those who have so far been accused, no one has really shocked me except Cosby. Some of them were known to be sexual predators on this board (Weinstein and Spacey, for example) and none of the others were people I actively believed would never have sexually harassed anyone.

branchop 319 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 Are any of yall as pissed off as I am about all these women coming forth asking why are all these women coming forth now? Seriously? You dont remember that opening your mouth was equivalent to career suicide? Or social suicide? And whose to say they didnt bring it up then and was told to stay quiet. And in my opinion, any woman who slept her way to a promotion was sexually harassed. Sure it was consensual. She may have asked for it, but if you werent in a position of power would she have done it? Men dont flatter yourself. Yes power is attractive, but if it was one you had power over, you are guilty. Period. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fykeylicious 1,099 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 Yeah, I got to listen to my SIL hold forth on this subject not long ago. She thought all the women Weinstein slept with were complicit because they got something out of it. Like where do I even begin...? You can't tell her anything about anything (she knows it all and always has, for as long as I've known her) so I just shut my mouth and slugged my drink. The alcohol helped, but not enough. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

witchkitten 309 Report post Posted December 15, 2017 http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/matt-damon-opens-harvey-weinstein-sexual-harassment-confidentiality/story?id=51792548 This Matt Damon interview is just rage inducing. He is the perfect example of why sexual harassment and abuse has been allowed to go on for so long in our society. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted December 15, 2017 True, but......A sexist/harassing pat on the butt IS different from pedophilia and rape. Both need to be confronted, people need to feel supported and BELIEVED in coming forward, and our society needs to change. But not every action requires the same nuclear response.

Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted December 15, 2017 http://www.laineygossip.com/matt-damon-terrible-peter-travers-interview/48686 Lainey's response to the Damon interview. Great points. I need to work on avoiding what I've been doing..... the point is not to talk about how one man’s actions are worse than another’s, the point is to understand that all of these actions originate from the same place and that the consequence of these actions result in stolen opportunities, primarily for women, reinforcing the gender inequality that persists in every segment of society. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess 1,712 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 TMZ We talked to a bunch of NYC flower shops who tell us they've fielded a crazy number of requests for white roses that Grammy attendees plan to wear Sunday at Madison Square Garden. As you know ... guests are wearing them to show solidarity with the Time's Up movement. It's music's version of the black gowns at the Golden Globes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
