"its foreign country - they do things differently."

Debauched predatory abusing bullies like Weinstein [allegedly] are universal...
There may be women among them, but it's always mostly been men...

Simple rule in life...
Distrust any individual who needs to actively gain & exercise power over all others...

"He wants to be a producer
Pinch our cheeks 'til we cry ouch, eek, ooh, oh, ahh, yes
He wants to be a producer
With a great big casting couch"


I'm sure the casting couch is as old as Aeschylus. . .

. . . or the couch

Big Al titles the thread: if I'd been Weinstein's sexual plaything. I'm still trying to imagine this....

One starlet who admits she was willingly "abused" said when she went to his room in a see through bathrobe Harvey was naked hanging upside down from his knees on a pull up bar. "Its amazing how he looked identical with his genitals in place of his face and his face looking like his genitals".

Hey, Stu. The next generation is where our hope lies in building a more tolerant and progressive society, not these old wankers.

I am pretty sure I know what you are referring to but you need to be a bit more clinical in your attacks. Not all us old white men are either overprivilaged or lack empathy. There are many on here who still seethe with frustration at the lack of progress made since our angry young man days of the 60s. Sadly we have had another generation of angry young men since and there is still little change. I, and many others, happily stand shoulder to shoulder with those who want to see fairness and equality but sadly there are those who are too selfish to see the global picture.

Let's carry on the fight, but just make sure we know who the enemy is!

the bigwigs at the Kremlin had a terrible reputation for sexually abusing the young women who worked there.

I don't think sexual abuse is confined to one economic system, or particularly a function of liberal capitalist societies Ake.

Oh, when you get to the Soviets you will find that sexual abuse there was off the charts. . .

Why do you think women were in the Soviet military during the Great Patriotic War.

It is more a feature of unmoderated power than economic system, but unmoderated power is a feature of Communist run (one-party) States.

I enjoyed SNL last night, as well.

Harvey the Hut was told to take a flying leap he is officially fired. His last movie was the bomb called Leap.

If the is any good can come out of this it seems to have raised awareness of abuse and the conditions that underlie it. Thousands and thousands of women are coming forward on the #MeToo campaign and it makes me sad that even in these circumstances we still have the dinosaurs that seem to believe that it is somehow the fault of the victims or that women enjoy unwanted attention.

Can I make a plea to everyone on here to make sure that there are no longer any misogynistic (or mysandric!) posts on here. If you see any, report them to the moderation team and I am sure they will be deleted.

Cheers

I wish to take a stand that no one who posts anywhere anytime ever write anything bad ever again and would the moderators please make sure this is duly enforced.
. . .
And when the internet time machine is online would the responsible parties please clean up all past mis-statements mischaracterizations, fake news reports and instances of poor thought, poor taste, poor hygiene, poor grammar*, and bad spelling (using the proper authoritative resource and not casting aspersions on legitimate alternative spellings).

Go for it robomatic. there are no truer words.
I have always enjoyed flirting with the bizarre which surely would be the first thing deleted.

Mods have done an exemplary job as of late. Perhaps better than ever.

But Dave cleaning up one side of a conversation is a bad idea that can lead to sterile nonsense.

In economics if you remove the irrationality of human behavior you end up with nonsense models that don't work

I agree, Donuel, but in this case we are not talking about cleaning up one side of the conversation. We are talking about ensuring people are treated considerately regardless of gender. Or anything else for that matter.

And Robo - The internet time machine is already online! Trouble is, it can plant as much fake news and bad Grandmas as it removes. Good post all the same.
