Hollywood women fight back with group to take on sexual misconduct
i News ^ | Jan 1, 2018 | Jane Clinton

Three hundred Hollywood women have launched a new group to tackle sexual harrasment following revelations in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

The “Time’s Up” campaign group has received the backing of actors including Reese Witherspoon, Eva Longoria, Emma Stone and Natalie Portman as well as executives and writers.

There will be a $13million legal fund for those less privileged who are affected by sexual misconduct to take legal action.

The group took out a full page advert in The New York Times and the Spanish-language newspaper La Opinion launching the group.

“The struggle for women to break in, to rise up the ranks and to simply be heard and acknowledged in male-dominated workplaces must end; time’s up on this impenetrable monopoly,” it read.


TOPICS: Arts/Photography; Society; TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: harvey; hollywood; sexualharrasment; timesup
First, they will have to accuse all the male executives of harassment and replace them with women.

Then, they will be facing a new kind of harassment from the executive women (it's Hollywood).

Finally, they will have to stop aspiring actors and actresses from willingly and discretely offering sex for roles. Good luck with that. It's not the world's oldest occupation for nothing.

Also, expect every woman's name associated with "Time's Up" to be offered the lead in an upcoming Helen Keller franchise and nothing else.

...or I could be completely wrong.

The women better be careful. They can all be replaced by trannys.

No mention of the queers raping little boys. It appears the male fags are a protected group of coprophiliacs

In a word, BULLSTALIN.

This isn’t about abuse, this is about quotas in a male dominated profession.

Plenty of millionaress actresses who can invest their money into studios and production companies if they want to.

They want quotes for women, trannies, homosexuals, etc.

NONE of that will stop pederasts from sucking and f***ing boy actors or prevent lesbians from coercing vulnerable women into compromising situations.

And Anita Hill is behind one of these fronts.

Nope. Not needed. Just window dressing to coverup rampant abuse.

One of these groups even wants to highlight the oppression of janitorial staff. Apart from an episode of Seinfeld, that sort of workplace sex is just something that I haven’t heard about.

I’m just gonna hazard a guess that the named women—Reese Witherspoon, Eva Longoria, Emma Stone, and Natalie Portman—were strong supporters of BJ Clintoon.

What man in their right mind will want to work with any of these actresses? One wrong look, one wrong comment and they’re toast.

That is the absolute control - subjective assessments by women with objective penalties for men - that the actresses want.

I can’t help but believe all of the successful actresses gave it up for roles. There are thousands of actresses just as pretty and just as talented who didn’t make it.

This group is going to be used to squash Republican candidates in the mid-terms. It has nothing to do with policing Hollywood or a come-to-Jesus moment.

Roy Moore was the national test. That is why Weinstein and all other Hollywood men fell on their swords.

All Republican candidates running for office need to read Rules for Radicals and The Art of War. They need to have private phone conversations with Rush or Steve Bannon on how to deal with the media. They need to hire crisis managers within their campaigns and be pro-active and honest and candid with voters.

Don't lie to voters. Don't issue denial after denial and hold press conferences. Here's what Roy Moore should have done when the allegations first broke:

"These allegations are total horses--t. I will not answer any more questions related to them. I am focused on the issues and defeating my liberal opponent to become Alabama's next Senator.

Finally, all Republican candidates should read this:

NEVER ACCEPT THE PREMISE OF YOUR OPPONENT'S ARGUMENT

These actresses, were they all as pure as the wind driven snow when they got to Hollywood. Guess that’s what they want us to think.

Most of the actresses could care less if a producer or director hit on them. The nobodies just want to hobnob with the A-listers and pretend they’re somebody.
