Feminist Politicians and Harvey Weinstein

[dogmush]

Oh *expletive deleted*it!  You went to the victim blaming.  You KNOW that you are absolutely not allowed to imply that actions might have consequences.

SHUN!!!  SHUN THE HERETIC!!!

[Doggy Daddy]

Oh Gawd how I wish I had some decent photoshop skills!  The Senator's pose in this just begs for a "Franken-stein" treatment of some sort.  Maybe Franken-stein chasing a fleeing bride of Franken-stein?  (Pelosi-stein?)

He needs to be groping Ben Stein.

And Weinstein is [indirectly] back in the news, courtesy of Meryl Streep.

Ms. Streep continues to claim that she had no idea Weinstein was abusing anyone. But then, catch this:

But when it comes down to it, Streep doesn’t want to hear about her silence. “I want to hear about the silence of Melania Trump. I want to hear from her. She has so much that’s valuable to say,” she said. “And so does Ivanka. I want her to speak now.”

Talk about misdirection! What do Melania and Ivanka Trump have to do with Harvey Weinstein and whether or not Meryl Streep knew but kept her mouth closed to protect her career? Melania and Ivanka aren't Hollywood. They've never been part of the movie industry. Sorry, Meryl, I'm not prepared to allow you to pull the smoke and mirrors trick on this one.

I don't remember Ivanka nor Melania giving Roman Polanski a standing ovation at an awards show, nor referring to Harvey Weinstein as "G-d".

This is an interesting twist. I was kind of wondering when more euros would weigh in. In my experience, European women are generally way less uptight about this stuff than American women. Even the krauts who generally have a "hands off and out of my personal space" policy (men and women) laugh off innuendo and other sex related stuff (not counting Islamic grab ass games). I don't think "me too" to the extent it has been applied in the US, would fly in most any European country. Maybe not most countries.

What a refreshing perspective:

“Rape is a crime, but trying to seduce someone, even persistently or cack-handedly, is not – nor is men being gentlemanly a macho attack,” said Deneuve.

I especially liike the last part, since I'm one of those [male chauvinist] olde phartes who persists in thinking that a gentleman should open doors for women.

[RoadKingLarry]

Hell, don't know what is OK anymore.
If you make even a gentlemanly advance on a woman you are a misogynistic cisgender pig. If you don't make even a gentlemanly advance on a transgendered whateverthehell you are a misogynistic cisgender pig.

No damn wonder the sex robot industry is looking so great.

I bet you'd call someone sweetheart too. You monster.

I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid.

Saw a news bit somewhere, that said Weinstein got punched in the face at a restaurant.  No video, though.

The father of an actresses who was basically blacklisted because she wouldn't let him perv on her was threatening to do just that. Wonder if he got his shot in after all.

Oh, dear G-d!

Interviewer (@ 7:18): "The gender possibilities are sort of endless in the world, right, so why not have them all [indistinct]?"

9th grade Biology fail. There are only two genders, male, and female. That pretty much limits the gender "possibilities" to a very finite set ... which is a lot smaller than "endless."

Saw a clip on TV this morning; Weinstein was with his "sober coach" at a restaurant when another patron allegedly struck him and told him to leave.  The report stated that the alleged assailant may have been drunk at the time.

Looks like Chris Mathews may be on his way out.
