From Aggressive Overtures to Sexual Assault: (I guess charges of 'rape' are now sexual assault)
The New Yorker ^ | 2017-10-10 | By Ronan Farrow

Posted on 10/10/2017 8:23:02 AM PDT by jerod

Three women––among them Argento and a former aspiring actress named Lucia Evans—told me that Weinstein raped them, allegations that include Weinstein forcibly performing or receiving oral sex and forcing vaginal sex.....

Sounds like 'rape' to me, not 'sexual assault'.

Highly connected media types don’t rape people. They seduce them against their will.

Of course, in an article about Weinstein raping 3 women they found space to rehash the Trump Billy Bush quotes.

Just like Meryl Streep was so quick to point out that her buddy Harvey appalled "... those of us whose work he championed, and those whose good and worthy causes he supported."

Not sure what that means, except that maybe there's some part of her brain that thinks Harvey isn't really all that bad of a guy.

The left must minimize the actions of their own. Only the other side deserves complete annihilation. Someone should write a rebuttal to this clown exposing how much the left really could care less about women. Let’s start hitting them constant;y with that allegation.

As I see it, Harvey desperately needed Ray Donovan.

It goes both ways. Now a stolen kiss is considered “sexual assault”.

...radical – in other words nominal islam, pigastinianism, homosexuality, pedophilia, transgenderism and every other form of sexual perversion, outright rape, communism, RINOism, atheism and other anti-God nonsense, criminal behavior of all types, black inadequacy, la raza, every other form of maladjusted minority status, murder, thievery, etc....

In short, the democrat party.

How many credible accusations have been made about sexual assault by now President Trump? I believe the number is zero. Same number as settlements to keep accusers quiet. There were several accusers who came forward right before the election. Then candidate Trump said that he would take them to court and they went quiet. I think that our President was always a “ladies man” but all that happened was mutual.

I heard him in an interview take the blame for his first divorce and give great appreciation to Ivana for the positive upbringing of their children.

Gretchen Carlson set the pattern.

Get a huge cash windfall while you can in the sunset of your acting career.

They seduce them against their will.

It's more like offering favors for favors, and if the mutual obligations are fulfilled no one complains. If not, then it's more of a breach of an implied contract.

To clarify; is Harvey Weinstein a disgusting sleazebag? Yep. He is a disgusting sleazebag in a disgusting sleazebag industry, where his conduct has been an accepted business practice since the industry was founded. What's the story about Marilyn Monroe after she signed her last big studio contract? She is reputed to have thrown down the pen and stated "Good; that's the last **** I'll have to suck."

Does he have "victims" of his predatory conduct? Yep, he sure does. But a lot of those "victims" became quite famous and wealthy for their victimization. They were to a large extent willing victims in exchange for the fame and wealth that were the whole reason for them to go to Hollywierd to begin with. It's part of the disgusting sleazebag business. And there were many victims who were simply used and discarded like yesterday's newspaper. They gambled on becoming famous and wealthy. They lost. That's part of the disgusting sleazebag business, too.

This is the real reason everyone knew and nobody talked. Harvey Weinstein was simply business as usual for a disgusting sleazebag industry.

Found it interesting that God takes 3rd place In line behind Spielburg and Weinstein in the “most thanked” catagory during the Oscar awards. Fascinatingly appropriate considering the venue.
