Harvey’s Brother Bob Weinstein Accused of Sexual Harassment By Executive Producer

I hear you. Bob Weinstein is guilty of poor judgement here, but he did cease his advances when asked to.

[Windflier]

He implied he could fire her, of she didn’t do what he said.

Well, that changes the picture. That's coercion, which seems to raise this to the level of sexual harassment.

It takes a lot more than that to make me feel “harassed,”

[Albion Wilde]

You have a point. It seemed like his money invested in her staying with the production was more important. But the article also said she had to get a lawyer to spell this out to him. I smell a settlement.

[Albion Wilde]

I don’t think you have truly placed yourself in that scenario to weigh how it would really sit with you, assuming you have bills to pay and need a job. Unless you are someone who changes jobs every few months and does not build a career.

.......he never inappropriately touched her, he didn’t grope her or sexually assault her. Again, per the article it sounds like he aggressively pursued her romantically ........where’s the sexual harassment?

Let me answer that....to a woman....ANY male att ention is sexual harassment....if its unwanted.

[clintonh8r]

First, your analogy is not appropriate since the Weinstein scenario was presumably between a male and female, whereas your hypothetical scenario is between a homosexual male and a heterosexual male.

Second, apparently the definition of harassment has been dumbed down by lawyers, SJWs and virtue signalers because the “Bob” Weinstein situation as described in the subject article seems a long way from any kind of harassment I know about. If I were on a jury, based on those facts alone, I would find for the defendant.

Third, you don’t know anything about me.

[Albion Wilde]

You are putting up quite a defense.

It’s not working, however.

Sorry but i belive the gay element adds and changes the dynamic.

"ANY male att ention is sexual harassment....if its unwanted."

Liz, I don't know if this comment was sarcastic or not. If it was meant in all seriousness, then the next generation is almost certainly doomed if men can no longer romantically pursue women past the first no. I'm glad I've been married for 32 years and am long out of the dating game. I don't think I could survive in today's dating environment. If I had stopped after my wife's first rejection, I guess we wouldn't have had two wonderful kids and 32 years together....

Sorry but i belive the gay element adds and changes the dynamic.

Nope, it doesn't. Unwanted sex is unwanted sex. Women who are subjected to unwanted sex have to fear that they will be violated in ways they really, really don't want by someone whom they cannot overpower. There is only one comparison for straight men, and it is not a smaller, lighter-weight woman. Women are entered, and when the entering is unwanted, it is soul destroying. Straight men do the entering, so if a woman imposes sex on him, it is not as disturbing. What is disturbing to a straight man is a man who has more power and who threatens to enter, or who does enter, because he has the ability to wreck his victim's life, so there is no good option—submit or have your livelihood ruined and/or your family threatened or your finances destroyed with a discrimination lawsuit. That compares to how total an experience unwanted sex is for women.

[Albion Wilde]

I think I’m on to something.

I agree. The Bible also says, "There is nothing new under the sun."
