"...Weiner told her that she owed it to him to let him see her naked..."

I could understand wanting to see her naked.

Was it wrong of me to admit that?

For one joke?
Wow.

I see a new series of successful cable shows.
Robot-Wives of Beverly Hills.
It won’t just be something going on in Japan.

Was it awkward flirting or serious trolling? How often did it happen? Did she tell anyone?

If her career is a wreck, there probably is more blame on her decisions than his forceful pressure.

Wait. An untoward offhand remark possibly said in jest while writing a script for a very adult television show radically alters this woman’s entire life?

We may have found the ultimate snowflake.

Lord, this is getting ridiculous. Was she such a snowflake she couldn’t fire back, in your dreams and let it go.

Some of these men deserve to be called out and prosecuted from what we’re told but some of the tales are stupid.

If I had reported, cried or stressed over the small stuff I would have never survived 50 years in the work force. The big stuff had me walking out a door in minutes. Both times with a stop at the President of the Company’s door on the way out.

As far as I am concerned, all women owe it to me to let me see them naked.

There is no doubt in my mind that this snowflake broad calls herself “strong”every 15 minutes or so. Guy SAID something to her. Make a decision to ignore it or straighten him out, that’s what a damn guy would do

I said it before across multiple Weinstein (and now Spacey...and now Jesse Jackson..and now Mad Men people) articles, so I apologize for the repetition. However, I feel strongly that this is a golden opportunity to not "let a serious crisis go to waste." Except here, we're not being slimy collectivists, but upright citizens.

Mind you, I really do not like the idea of using the behavior of dirtbags and the tears of actresses/the misfortune of an innocent as a weapon against an enemy (to quote another Freeper). Real men would take these losers out back and beat some sense into them. I am also a free market capitalist and I don't want to regulate anything unless it is in line with the intent of the Founders.

All that said, we're dealing with the lowest of the low. If the Republicans had any sense of testicular fortitude - or a desire to MAGA for ALL individuals - they'd call a press conference and say:

"Democrats are clearly pro-misogyny. Silence equals consent. They said nothing while one of their fundraisers roamed as a sexual predator in Hollywood. And now a former presidential candidate looks like he cut from the same cloth.

"It is sad that the loudest Democrat since this story broke has been Hillary Clinton, as she acknowledged that the Oval Office has seen a sexual predator - her husband.

"The Republican leadership asks the Democrats to reject harboring of anti-woman fundraisers, and join us as we announce the start of hearings on the civil rights of individuals amidst this poisonous atmosphere in Hollywood, with an eye toward regulating studios and actors and actresses under the Commerce Clause as so many Democrats have with other parts of the economy."

Others have noted that the Republicans likely have skeletons in their closet and there is a risk in this approach. I agree, but maybe it's time to man-up and clean the Augean Stables. Frankly, I don't care if it's Hollywood or Wall Street or Main Street or K Street...this isn't the way real men act.

Yes, some people may have not spoken out for a variety of reasons. Nobody knows what is in the heart of mankind. I will not be the first one to cast a stone, and based on some of my readings, there is a lot of internal sorrow going around nowadays. That, to me, is enough punishment but the good news is, there is always room for forgiveness FOR THOSE WHO SEEK IT WITH CONTRITION.

All that said, there is always love, but there is also justice. Many of us need to step up - the time to act is upon us. From Moses to St Joseph to men of fidelity throughout history, now is the time for Deplorables to reclaim the mantle of "compassion" from the statists, and expose their War on Women. Who among us is willing to put thought into action, and in our daily lives when we encounter even a modicum of this behavior, to speak out forcefully?

With the stuff they wrote for the Mad men series?
Series?
She was harassed by one who she knew, and helps write sleazy script with tons of 60’s style sexism.

Man, I loved that show.

Weiner made the alleged comment late one night

Shouldn’t that be “Weiner allegedly made the comment late one night”? This writer has us halfway to it being the Gospel truth.

Either way, we have truly entered the silly phase of this whole sexual misconduct thing.

It seem that there’s been more sexual abuse in Hollywood than there was in the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston!

“She was fired a year later, which prompted media to speculate on the reasons, since she had just shared an Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series Emmy in 2009 with Weiner.”

There’s more to this story then this woman is owning up to.
One incident of a guy trolling and she is fired one year later. Does not compute. Is she alleging she was fired one year later for a fleeting incident one night a year before which was never discussed again? Was she a problem employee?

... so the movement to out Hollywood males for sexual harrasment as gone from “zero-to-too-far” in about 3 weeks? This is a record for Leftist movements. Usually takes years for this to happen.

Crude and inappropriate? Especially coming from your boss?
Sure.

But it has kept her out of the workforce for years?
Seriously??
