They’re trying to drown out Weinstein and Hollywood by saturating the media and portraying every girl as victims of sexual harassment.
Good point.
I think they're trying to capitalize on Weinstein. In any case, it's getting pretty silly. So, THIRTY years ago, a colleague of Barbara Boxer's supposedly made a rude comment to her in front of a room full of people and everyone laughed? OK...that's comparable to rape?
If every man is a harasser and every woman is a victim...there's really nothing more to talk about...so can we just stop talking about this stuff?
It was a mistake for states — New York is one of them, I believe — to do away with statutes of limitations when it comes to sexual crimes. (One exception: when rape is reported and there's DNA that's logged, but no suspect to arrest. If the suspect is arrested later and his DNA matches, the statute of limitations shouldn't apply.)
I'm going to get my head bitten off for this, but reading about how Kevin Spacey supposedly scooped up some teenager thirty years ago, I can't help wonder what the point is in hashing this out today. There are criminal and civil courts. If this guy was silent all these years, what's the point in speaking out now? And that woman who wrote about gross things Dustin Hoffman SAID to her THIRTY years ago, when she was 17? Is that really fair to write about today?
