The Harvey Weinstein Effect

[jamil]

And tired of entertainers trying to be political.

Hey. I have an idea to get more people to watch award shows. Maybe they should all get together and make one of those preachy “public service” spots where they shame people who don’t care to watch. Call people bigots for not watching them circle-jerk each other.

Two Steven Seagal accusers detail allegations of rape, sexual assault by actor

During the press conference, Simons said that Seagal raped her after inviting her to his house, claiming he was throwing a wrap party. She said that he was twice her age at the time, and she had not had a sexual encounter with a man before that experience.

“He closed the door and approached me from behind he started kissing my neck and taking off my clothes. I was in shock,” Simons said. “I was completely caught off guard. Seagal was more than twice my size and twice my age. I was not sexually active nor had I ever been naked in front of a man before.

"There was nothing consensual about this. I couldn't move and I felt as if I was watching my body from above..I felt tears coming down my face," Simons said. "Seagal finally finished, and I dressed as fast as I possibly could. He put his hand on the door and asked me if I needed any money. I said no and ran for the door."

I'll ask again, for a friend of course, how does one know if the advance is unwanted until one makes the advance?

You write up a pre-advance agreement, signed by both parties and notarized.

You are a hopeless romantic.

You make an advance, they tell you to stop, you don't. ..

FIFY.

Thats my big beef with sexual harassment rules verbiage. They list it as "Any unwanted sexual advance." when it should be "Any REPEATED unwanted sexual advance." . After all, how do you know it is unwanted until you try? Thats like a Schrodinger's box of laws; you cant know if its against the rules until you try, at which point if its wrong, it is too late. Its like an un-posted speed limit.

How life SHOULD work:
"Nice butt."
"I would appreciate it if you wouldnt talk to me like that, I am not interested."
"Sorry, my bad. I didnt realize you were not interested. I misunderstood our relationship."
(just a misunderstanding at this point if you are a reasonable individual.)

Or:
"Nice butt."
"I would appreciate it if you wouldnt talk to me like that, I am not interested."
"Hard to get, huh? You have a great rack too."
"Hello, HR Department? I would like to lodge a sexual harassment complaint."
(fair application of the rule)


How it works all too often:
"Nice butt."
"Hello, HR Department? I would like to lodge a sexual harassment complaint."

So is that an effective pickup line? My wife and I have been married for almost 34 years, and thus I am unfamiliar with what works these days. It just seems like that would tend to get your face slapped, or at least a call to HR, more than it would get you laid.

Sounds harassy.

Best thing to do is not speak to anyone and just keep eyes down. But then you're a self-absorbed male who is too good to acknowledge the existence of anyone else and are yet another example of toxic masculinity. Or something

Sounds like a typical conversation between me and the Mrs.

No. Just an off the cuff example oversimplified for ease of explanation.

If there's anything I've learned from 1960s TV, face slaps are part of the mating ritual.
