That is a complete strawman on your part. Clearly it was a huge error of judgment on his part to get involved with Lewinsky. Equally clearly, it was a consensual relationship, not sexual assault.

Yeah, I'm just a gun-owning die hard "liberal" in Florida.... who didn't vote for Clinton, or the tangerine narcissist for that matter.

Or, just someone fed-up at the alt-fact crowd repeating half-truths, and sometimes outright lies, as fact.

Hardline Republicans have been trying to pin something, anything, to the Clintons for more than 2 decades. That includes 5 Vince Foster assasination investigations and 9 Benghazi investigations just to start. What a complete waste of money.

And they call Russia a witch hunt.

Yeh, I have to lol when this thread is reduced to someone posting things like this:

"Plus, the Clintons rented a Hamptons house next door to Weinstein and Chapman’s Amagansett estate for three summers".

Classic insinuation there.

Certainly not! He is a scumbag.. But some women like and particularly use scumbags. Not every woman is a standard victim.This is what makes it so hard for the genuine amongst them

Those coming out now 'who did not report him' have some serious questions to answer.and frankly sicken me ( I am also not saying they would be believed,or anything done about it. though )Brad Pitt had to go and threaten the man personally . He could only do that because he was a big star and money talks to men like HW.
We live in that sort of world unfortunately. Hollywood is run by men. 95% of all films are dictated,directed by those men.Theres' a story about HW being so hyped because he got Michelle Phyifer (s) to do a nude scene against her will,that he went along to the screening room and made the projectionist play it over and over again. whilst obviously 'playing with himself' shall we say.

Women who enter that world have to know this, and to a large extent accept it.. or leave. HW was playing by those rules laid down when Hollywood began .He has seen no reason to change.Just as Cosby saw no reason to change.
I don't know what it will take to evoke change.? I do know that it's going to take more than the odd lone woman amongst many though.

I. Can't. Even.

It really does beggar belief.

I wish we had a ‘shakes head in disbelief’ emoji.

Somehow just doesn't seem like enough.

If women had only stopped to think prior to the Suffrage movement how much harm they'd cause by wanting more, all of this would never have happened. We'd all be barefoot and pregnant at the kitchen sink suffering no abuse at all. Oh wait abusive partners... ok if god had only created Adam, yeah that works. Oh wait it's not just women suffering abuse from superiors... Erm no, got nothing..... We should obviously all just put up and shut up, no other solution. Glad that's settled.

Get back in the kitchen, you. What do you think you're doing out here on the Interwebs? This is no place for a woman. You really shouldn't worry your pretty little head about important matters like these, it'll only bring on a fit of the vapours and I fear we're fresh out of smelling-salts.

One of the reasons that Weinstein got away with it for so long

Interesting obervations by Tom Jones:-

Sir Tom Jones: Abuse is common in music industry too - BBC News

I agree with his view that You should know that yourself, you don't do things just because you think, 'I should do this.' Your own mind will tell you that. Not just in showbusiness, but in any thing you're in.

So the man currently being investigated for dodgy behaviour is asked his opinion on Weinstein. Class right there.

lutonlad

It seems that many celebs/film stars become born again Mother Teresa's once they've 'made it' in their careers.

Same sort of hypocrisy where soft porn music videos demonstrate 'girl power' - whereas the tabloid 'Page 3' is sexist and degrading. Apparently because the latter was an idea conceived by men.

InVinoVeritas

Being investigated (and not prosecuted) for something which happened (allegedly) over 40 years ago in another country renders his opinion completely worthless I suppose

moneypenny20

Not at all. It just serms an odd thing to do imo. It does however add to the 'what I may or may not have done is no where near to what he may or may not have done mindset which is a huge part of the problem and what needs to change. Imo.
