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.

Exactly. They knew. They experienced it. And when they got rich and famous they did NOTHING.

Did you, Meryl?

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?

Excellent point! *BUMP*

Hollyrock executives form a committee on sexual misconduct...they enabled it, ignored it, hid it and condoned it by all of the aforementioned. And Anita Hill? What a freaking joke..all of it.

Can somebody please translate this liberal gibberish into something understandable?

So Hollywood, which has emerged from the glamor of Tinseltown like creatures from the swamp, has enlisted Anita Hill. Their purpose with her is to put a facade on the moral decay. This is as disgusting as putting a pubic hair on a Coke.

Taking my stash is really a "comprehensive strategy to address the complex and interrelated causes of the problems of parity and power."

Wow, I never knew that.

Wait until Trump picks the next person for the Supreme Court. That ought to send the jackals into overtime searching for dirt..that will be time to fasten the seatbelts.

Isn’t it odd that all the loonies of the left end up in “prestigious” positions? Consider obozo’s neighbor in Chicago - what’s his name, the terrorist, his wife, also a terrorist, the looney Adele Davis in CA, former AG Napolitano, - the list is really endless.

Even the devil hands out rewards to his "assistants" who help to advance the "cause".
