Anita Hill to Lead Hollywood Commission on Sexual Harassment
New York Times ^ | December 15, 2017 | Cara Buckley

Posted on 12/15/2017 8:28:20 PM PST by EdnaMode

A commission headed by Anita Hill and composed of and funded by some of the most powerful names in Hollywood has been created to tackle widespread sexual abuse and harassment in the media and entertainment industries.

Called the Commission on Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace, the initiative was spearheaded by Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm; Maria Eitel, the co-chair of the Nike Foundation; the powerhouse attorney Nina Shaw; and Freada Kapor Klein, the venture capitalist who helped pioneer surveys on sexual harassment decades ago.

The commission’s mission, according to a news release, is to “tackle the broad culture of abuse and power disparity.”

“The commission will lead the entertainment industry toward alignment in achieving safer, fairer, more equitable and accountable workplaces —particularly for women and marginalized people,” according to a statement released Friday evening.

Ms. Kennedy, Ms. Eitel, Ms. Shaw and Ms. Klein called the meeting on Friday, and it included some of the titans of the media and entertainment industries: the agents Ari Emanuel and Bryan Lourd, Screen Actors Guild President Gabrielle Carteris, Dawn Hudson of the academy, Bob Iger of Disney, Jim Gianopulos of Paramount, Leslie Moonves of CBS and Ted Sarandos of Netflix.

I am sure this will be morphed into a discovery that the Coke embibed by POTUS somehow had a pubic hair on it.

Under whose authority is this “commission” created?
What “authority” does it have?
Who elected/chose them and how and where?

LOL. Mega celebrities facing the prospect of having to attend sensitivity training mandated by big studios.

Hollywood probably overcompensates by featuring a slew of man-bashing movies to redeem themselves, and movie audiences will be bored even further and more of them would stop watching whether they are liberal or not.

People do not really enjoy propaganda movies. That is an universal truth.

A Hollywood Commission on Sexual Harassment is like a Mafia Commission on Crime.

Someone should tell Anita that Teddy’s dead and she doesn’t have to lie anymore.

"Anita Hill represents all the women who were so traumatized that they wait for years, and for a political spotlight, to accuse?"

Not to mention the fact that after she claimed she was made physically ill by the sexual harassment she experienced from Clarence Thomas, she repeatedly called him, asking him for a job.

I recommend the establishment of a Commission To Ensure That All Women In Movies Are Attractive.

Miss Over The Hill is going to do what?

By the way, old skank-mouth Sandra Fluke was in the news again. Don’t even remember what she’s yelling about but is going to lead something to do with sexual harassment, birth control pills, and penguins.

Remember, she complained about women, possibly even herself, not being able to afford $9.00 a month for birth control pills (which many can get for free at local clinics), but was marrying the son of a millionaire.

Damned, her father-in-law (if she did get married - I pity the poor bastard who will be her husband because I think she did half the Georgetown Un Law School), could afford to pay for birth control pills for hundreds of thousands of women.

If there ever was a media skank, besides Gloria Allred and her daughter, Lisa Bloomingonion, then it is Fluke. Like a dead week old Fluke fish, this Fluke stinks to high heaven.

Les Moonves? What's he doing on that list? He presided over the sexual predation by David Letterman and did nothing about it. Thanks EdnaMode.
