It happens in other industries.

That is why we have many of the HR laws we do.

It is also why, when I shared an office with several young women, I never had the door shut.

Of course it does. The world is imperfect. But her statement implies that it occurs at the same level as it does in the entertainment industry. The left always applies moral equivalency in situations where it is not warranted. This makes her sound like she is a victim of "Stockholm Syndrome".

Witherspoon has no first hand experience in other industries to my knowledge. If she has, then she should be specific and not trash industries across the board.

She should address what she herself has experienced, in the industry she is involved in.

If people in other industries have problems, and I don’t doubt that they do have some, then it’s up to them to come out and say so, relate their experiences.

Witherspoon was running cover for the movie industry. In effect, she is still running cover for the industry whose members abused her. Oh, they’re no worse than any other industry mind you. (by inference)

I don’t know of other industries where the top named female employees are sexually abused to the extent the movie industry female employees have been.

Do you?

I don’t deny there are bad eggs out there. They should all be rooted out.

It bothers me when there is a problem, and people try to blame that problem on everyone. It’s tantamount to saying, “All men are abusers.” No, not all men are abusers. Some men are.

Is every man a Bill Clinton, a Harvey Weinstein? No.

Some women claim that. That’s why I reject the loose or shotgun blame games. Specifics only, thanks.

As for you keeping the door open, good for you. Smart move.
