Re: Harvey Weinstein

Can a single act count, perhaps a misunderstanding, count as "harassment"? I am not a lawyer as you know, but my understanding of the word "harassment" implies some level of deliberate and continuing...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

Fair enough, as long as you don't insinuate that I am among those people who consider that victims of rape or sexual assault are just whingers.

Re: Harvey Weinstein

You make the classic mistake of accusing people who don't agree with you of some form of failing.

Re: Harvey Weinstein

Yes, I did mean dedicated internet dating sites where it's clear that one's intentions are to meet and couple with someone. But it's true what you suggest, that internet sites where such intentions...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

For those of us who didn't meet our partners on the internet, surely many of us got together due to one of us making an advance?

I first kissed my now-wife in a calculated gesture that was going...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

That's exactly the point I've been trying to make since post #6 of this thread. Provided the wannabe-stars got their moment of fame in exchange for the sordid half-hour, what's the beef?

Re: Harvey Weinstein

Likewise, I have never once suggested a woman - or indeed a man - is blameworthy for having been assaulted. You've already apologised to me in this thread when I called you out on that before.

Re: Harvey Weinstein

A masterpiece of moral disapproval, repression and superciliousness. Mary Whitehouse would approve.

There must be more to Fallon's resignation than just the JH-B knee story... who would resign over that?!

Re: Harvey Weinstein

It's telling when someone resorts to insults rather than argument.

I have never once suggested that "they deserved the assault/rape". Please withdraw such allegation. I have suggested that there...

Yes, I have, as I said right at the start of this thread he's a loathsome creep. However, don't tell me that Hollywood isn't full of successful millionaires of both sexes who prostituted themselves...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

The age of the attempted seducee is pretty damned important, don't you think? Indeed there are even laws about it. It's the ONLY thing that's relevant in the Spacey incident. If he was overage I...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

More than a 'slight difference' in the consenting adults aspect, as in the boy didn't consent (not that anything happened) and he wasn't an adult. What if the boy had said yes? Would that make Spacey...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

I like Kevin Spacey, but I am not going to let that cloud my judgement that he tried to seduce a 14 year old child. The details of the attempted seduction are irrelevant; the fact that he thought it...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

I'm sure most of us have drunken barely-remembered sexual encounters in our past... but hopefully not with 14 year olds. THAT'S the crucial factor here. I wouldn't say that's relatively minor, no pun...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

It's still a bit of a qualified apology. "I don't remember, but if I did, I owe him an apology" and then going on to make sure to let us know that he was drunk, even though he can't remember the...

Again, I am not discrediting/belittling or playing down 'sexual assault'.

Interestingly, why is it only when successful actors like Angelina Jolie speak out that it gets taken seriously? Why do...

Out of order, sunshine. Nowhere I have I defended sexual assault.

This is very different to cases like Jimmy Savile, where his victims were universally incapable of giving consent, they were...

I agree that if there were threats, that would be different. But I'm sure Hollywood is rife with encounters that aren't so explicitly threatening, more along the lines of what I said, "I can help you...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

I know that. I'm not 100% convinced that a "transactional" encounter (I'll give you a leg up in the business if you ...err... scratch my back) counts as assault.

Despicable, but not criminal?

Re: Harvey Weinstein

The casting couch may be despicable and degrading, but is it criminal behaviour?
