The Harvey Weinstein Effect

[jamil]

Ouch

Lindsay Lohan slams #MeToo accusers as ‘weak’ for not going to cops.

She's not wrong.

Well. Okay. She is wrong.

It's hard to call the cops while you're busy ****ing the producer in exchange for getting an important role in his next movie. They're not weak. They're whores. At least a little. It was a transaction they all agreed to. ****ty to ask that kind of price. So that doesn't diminish the guilt of people like Weinstein at all. May he rot in a hole somewhere. But these women selling their bodies for movie roles makes them quite less the victims than they'd like everyone to believe.

A good start would be to not call pedophilia a "lolita complex"

Are you telling me that we're supposed to raise children who do what's right, and difficult even if it gets in the way of being rich and famous?

I think you've lost sight of what's really important.....fame and riches.

...but if you can parlay belated accusations into fame, pity, maybe some coin and come out looking like you did the right thing....maybe you get it all.

Yeah. You’re right. When faced with the choices, impress Weinstein with your oral talents or go back to Poedunk Kansas, it seems the choice is obvious for all those victims..

Of course, now I can't find the article.
But, one of her friends was one of those believing, "Always believe the accuser".
Now, she's saying, "We should wait to find out what's going on before we believe them"

None of us know the truth of the situation and I’m sure more will be revealed. Be gentle.







Most of the comments on the article are calling her out on her hypocrisy.

In a tweet about Harvey Weinstein, and about anyone who may be associated with him, McGowan said:

Anyone who does business with __ is complicit. And deep down you know you are even dirtier. Cleanse yourselves.

This was discussed extensively on Tony Katz this morning. She is guilty as charged.

Stolen from Reddit, because Weird Al is wholesome-as-****:

A guy named "Weird Al" has had a 40+ year long career with no allegations of sexual impropriety.

Aziz Anzari returned to performing, and Louis CK did a surprise show that received a positive response.

Good to see they're coming back to the world of comedy.

The usual butthurt crowd isn't too happy about it though... instead probably wishing they stayed permanently out of a job.

Why don't these college women report awful crimes to real police? They should be going to the Sheriff's Department or the City Police Department. Instead, at best they go to Barney Fife at the Campus Police and at worst go to a buddy of the perpetrator.

At this late date, the truth of the matter will probably never be known (this is why we have statutes of limitation). Nasser is as bad as they get, but H.H. Holmes didn't commit every murder in Chicago. I don't so much care about justice for Nasser, but something about the timing of this stinks to high heaven. MSU will probably pay, though....which every civil attorney and most of the population of planet earth know.

Tonight Show Bans Norm Macdonald After He Comments on #MeToo.

Well, it was nice of the article to bring up that we shouldn't ban everyone.. but I kinda got the feeling that the author was against what he (MacDonald) said.

Because the real police require physical evidence which can be traumatic to collect from a freshly minted assault victim so they go to those they trust; sadly it doesn't sound like they should have trusted those people either. I lived in OKC when one of the Gaylord family was accused of rape; by the end of the trial the young woman was portrayed as a willing whore (as female victims usually are - just the nature of the legal game). Even with compelling evidence - she had been on her cycle with a *ahem* feminine hygiene product in use that required a physician to extract when the young man had finished relocating it. There was not one single female on the OU Campus who missed the message and the lesson of the story.
