Excellent.
Needed to be written.
False claims/charges 8% to 41%. Almost always in the double digits... Wow.
When you join an industry (Hollyweird) that trades in flesh, your own or someone else’s, this is what you get.
The women were seeking to maximize their sexual market value and sexual appeal and make money off of it. They were selling sex.
Sounds a bit like whoring to me.
Reminds me of the big name journalist (Brokaw? Jennings? Rather?) who was asked if they would inform a US army patrol of an imminent ambush if the journalist saw something that the soldiers did not.
I believe the response was: "No. I'm a journalist. I'm there to report what happens, not to get involved." I guess journalists are human beings when they want to be.
Milano started the metoo tag about Hollywood. Now it’s being used to make it taking place everywhere and making Hollywood seem no worse than the local convience store.
Tapper forgets about the people who "come forward" with hate speech accusations, only to find out later that they keyed their own car or painted the swastika themselves.
If one wants to laud another for "coming forward," then do so for the person who comes forward immediately, not the person who waits a decade or two for someone else to be first.

I’m not optimistic, but I would hope that our culture would see a turning point. We are a sex-obsessed culture and many industries are indeed selling sex. It is whoring.
We don’t need to go the route of the burkha, but I would think women would wake up and realize that maximizing their sexual market value (and I think about 80% of women have been successfully trained to do this) is not a good choice. They should pull back and be more conservative. Better for them. Better for the culture. Better for men too, I think.
Nobody wants to admit to being the ugly duckling that Harvey didn’t want to hit on.
Lena Dunham's been uncharacteristically quiet.
Modesty is a virtue, the opposite of impropriety.
I agree with her, but for a different reason.
The problem is less the act, which happens at all times and in all places, than the *industry*, that has become a “nest of vipers”, banding together to promulgate and defend such abuse.
Many people want a career in entertainment. But to get such a career, as a young person, they now must run a gauntlet of perverts, deviants, and other villains. If they refuse to submit to the fiends, they are blocked, blackballed, and denied a fair chance to succeed.
So now it is likely the network of monsters that is trying to dilute their individual and collective guilt, by hiding behind the idea that “everybody does it.”
No. Just no.
What is needed is that these child victims, and former child victims, need a *prosecutor*. That is, do not make any accusation in public, but in private. And you must name names. Again in private. By someone who will then pursue criminal sanctions, or if they are not possible, civil sanctions by all the victims; made possible because when victims name the same molesters, it makes for a persuasive case.
So imagine if instead of just naming a single ‘big name’ criminal, this prosecutor could release the names of a dozen such perverts at once, likewise naming their co-conspirators, supporters, and accessories.
It would ravage the entertainment industry. But since the days of Fatty Arbuckle, this has been something that needs to be done.
Where was the Hollywood crowd when Bubba was using the “nuts and sluts” defense against his accusers?
This will spiral out of control very soon. False accusations. Axes to grind. Sensationalism. Raw meat for the TMZ crowd. Lawyers like Gloria Alfed and her ilk self promoting themselves and mugging for the cameras. All the while the real victims claims will be trivialised.
This will end much like the Child Day Care molestation hysteria of the 80’s. Good people will suffer at the hands of hucksters, liars, cheats, and lawyers and paid professional witnesses.
Lena Dunham’s been uncharacteristically quiet.
Even the lowly Weinstein had his standards.
Lining up to crawl under his desk...
I have a close family member who was falsely accused. A girl had gotten pregnant with a boy she wasn’t supposed to be seeing, so she accused this other kid of rape. Police questioned him, concluded the girl was lying and let him go, but it could have gone other ways. Very ugly business.
If they refuse to submit to the fiends, they are blocked, blackballed, and denied a fair chance to succeed.
One more thing on that subject, Hollyweird is the local industry. It has been protected by the LAPD for many years.
“...lazy journalists...”
Now you’re just being redundant, Michelle.
Nothing wrong with that and I agree with what you said. Especially the last part.
They’re Distracting from the Real story , Obama/Hillary/Putin and all the Bribes
