Weinstein Scandal Reveals Truth About Hollywood’s Feminism
The Daily Signal ^ | October 12, 2017 | Katrina Trinko

Five years ago at the Democratic National Convention, I went to a Planned Parenthood rally, where one speaker was TV actress Lisa Edelstein.

“Do not go to the polls alone,” she told us. “Drag somebody, if she’s a woman especially, because those women are going to vote for Obama—if they know what’s good for them.”

Edelstein is hardly the only Hollywood figure to make the case that liberal policies are crucial to women’s happiness and welfare. Yet, with the media still reeling from the revelations about powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s behavior toward women, it’s time to examine both the people promoting that worldview—and the worldview itself.

The Edelstein episode stayed with me because, as an avid fan of “House,” I was especially devastated to see the actress who had played the tough, smart Dr. Lisa Cuddy promote the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. That organization is now fighting in Ohio against a law banning abortions done on the basis of gender. In other words, the oh-so-feminist Planned Parenthood is OK with the termination of pregnancy just because the child is a girl.

Yet Edelstein is far from alone in her support from Planned Parenthood. At the Academy Awards this year, actresses Emma Stone (who would win “Best Actress” that night) and Dakota Johnson both displayed Planned Parenthood pins. “I stand with Planned Parenthood because Planned Parenthood stands up for me,” said Scarlett Johansson in a 2015 video.

Yes men are victims too. There are predatory homosexual men in Hollywood.

Yes. Feminism has indeed degraded women, but women do not civilize men.

Women like to believe that their love - not a Savior’s Grace - can redeem a man.

Men created true civilization, with and without the help of women.

I was never a Bad Boy; though I was respected as a minister by women for my service in the church, I was rejected as a suitor in favor of males they could “civilize”.

I never needed fixing, so I was no challenge.

Women are just as fallen, and no more civilized, than men.

Nota Bene: I also did not require fatherhood to civilize me, as I am perforce celibate.

(The kicker: Many of those Church Girls are on their second or third Fixit Project.)

Those “urban statistics” are the counterfactual that proves Architect’s point.

(bitterohiogunclinger tells us why that’s so.)

Should be a picture of Obama on the wall too.
In fact there should be a wall of Dem politicians’ pictures on the wall.
He raised and donated huge sums to them.

Of course they are. Their Fixits either get fixed and become boooooooring or they prove heartbreakingly unfixable.

Women are sinners, just like us men.

I love that background person’s grossed-out expression.

It’s a very natural reaction.

Seriously, they all lockstep like Nazi soldiers voted for one of the most woman-abusing candidates ever. Hillary Clinton. She is extremely proud of her own vagina for some reason, but got where she got SOLELY due to shutting up victims of her husband’s unwanted sexual assaults.

Hillary is Mrs. Sandusky x 10. Mrs Sandusky listened to the kids screaming in the basement as she did her dishes. Hillary threatened the victims’ families, pets, and lives.

Isolate the liberal female gene and abort them.

There is no need for that. Through abortion, they are removing those genes from the genepool voluntarily.
