Well, actresses shouldn't have to sleep with someone to get a job.

Sophie Okonedo is an exceptional actress. I saw her as Cleopatra in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, opposite Ralph Fiennes.

At the end of the article it says, Weinstein sexually harassed Lupita Nyong’o, a black actress.

Of course they shouldn’t. And I’d like to think most don’t. On the other hand the term ‘the casting couch’ exists likely for a reason.

To be honest, I have no idea who Weinstein did or didn’t take advantage of. I just was pointing out that he was criticized for apparently preferring to harass white actresses.

But to the point of the original post, women who accuse democrat politicians are held to quite a different standard than those who accuse Republicans. Actually they aren’t really, they are just ignored, like Hunter’s laptop.
