Anita Hill to chair new Hollywood commission on sexual misconduct and industry inequality

The biggest figures and institutions in entertainment have established a commission to be chaired by Anita Hill that intends to combat sexual misconduct and inequality in the industry in the wake of the huge wave of revelations spurred by allegations against Harvey Weinstein.

A statement Friday announced the founding of the Commission on Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace, a group that grew out of a meeting called by Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy and several other prominent women in the industry.

"The Commission will not seek just one solution, but a comprehensive strategy to address the complex and interrelated causes of the problems of parity and power," Kennedy said in a statement.

This woman attempted to ruin a man's career because he asked who put a pubic hair on a coke can.

From Wiki... Hill also recounted an instance in which Thomas examined a can of Coke on his desk and asked, "Who has put pubic hair on my Coke...

She's the perfect person to examine actresses who are raped, or forced to perform sexual favors for acting parts.... NOT!

I can’t help but wonder about the women who went to the top in the industry. I’m not just talking actresses, but the producers and directors. What did they know about the sexual exploitation of women and children that we are learning was such common knowledge and how much did they go along with it?

Sounds similar to the UN putting Zimbabwe or Somalia on the Human Rights Commission.

People didn’t believe me early on with Weinstein when I posted of a “Feminist Inquisition” emerging.

Well, what do you think now?

That’s like designating Lord Haw Haw to investigate charges of propaganda against the Nazis.

LOL, Anita, Anita.

Surely you can do better than be a ‘Chair’.

After all, the target of your failed venom is on The United States SUPREME Court until he decides he doesn’t want to do that more.

How pathetic are you?

Notice they didn’t approach Gennifer Flowers or Paula Jones? One could make the argument that they are EQUALLY qualified.

However, Hill is apparently the better choice because she accused a rebublican, rather than a democrat.

I think the entire nation is in need of remedial catechesis on the 8th/9th Commandment (the one about false witness).

Anita is going to be paid handsomely, by liberal Hollywood and liberal politicians, to keep most or all sexual harassment/assault cases under wraps. Anita is a favorite of liberals, and a supposed victim of sexual assault, so, who is not going to believe her? Who is going to argue with her?

Another reason for choosing Anita, is so that liberals could open up the sexual allegations against Clarence Thomas, and if successful in bringing attention to that case, democrats will redirect that attention towards Trump, because of what they believe are similar cases. Anita is just a tool being prepared for attacking Clarence Thomas and Trump.

Good grief. Attention addicts never outgrow it, apparently.
