Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread
I hope so, too, Cat. I hope "regular" women and men are able to take the movement back from the celebs who tried to co-opt it. I don't deny the fact that sexual abuse runs rampant throughout the film and TV industries. However, the right and far-right is always so quick to dismiss anything that has anything at all to do with celebrities, and I'm worried their attempts to do the same w/ this movement will end with people turning against #MeToo for good.

No, he's not a #HimToo supporter. However, he is clearly a hipster. Ergo, he's still trash. (Sorry, folks, I just call 'em as I see 'em.)

They threw a coat hanger at him? Oh, I get it: they were just engaging in a little "Mommie Dearest" role-play.

The same people who remain convinced that the Earth is flat, that Jesus was white, and that Obama is a Muslim who was born in Kenya.

It's like a bad episode of "McHale's Navy." (What am I saying? ALL episodes of "McHale's Navy" were bad.)

I think so. I've seen it time and time again: SCOTUS is not there to make the laws, or to legislate opinions. SCOTUS is there strictly to determine the constitutionality of the cases brought before them. Ugh. Right now, Mama Khan is in another room, listening to Kav's big speech on the WH lawn. Isn't it appropriate how the Senate forced him on us like he forced himself on those women (allegedly)? Of course, the difference between Kav and the U.S. Senate, is that the U.S. Senate actually finished the job.

Democrats don't want to be known strictly as "the anti-Trump party." But, I say, ride that pony for all it's worth, lol. If it's good enough for me, then it's gotta be good enough for a lot of others, too.

Well, I wouldn't want to wish harm on anybody about anything...but she had it coming. So, in the end, what did it profit Joe Manchin to vote "yes" for Kavanaugh? Seriously, I need to know this. Because, from where I'm sitting, it looks as if he's gained nothing.

After checking with my state's election board's online voter tool, I can say with 100% certainty that I am a registered voter. (But if you people even THINK about asking me to post pictures or something, I will vote Republican to spite y'all, I swear I will!)

What's wrong with Yahoo!? Manchin was a coward. Plain and simple. He voted for Kavanaugh, not because he believed him to be innocent -- sorry, but I don't believe his justification for his "yes" vote -- but because he needed the votes for re-election. Who knows? He might have saved his job by voting the way that he did, too. But, it's kind of like what Blanche told Gil Kessler in "The Golden Girls," when he lied and said they had spent the night together, just to boost his campaign. Yes, you won, Joe, but what kind of man are you, if you didn't win honestly? Even if it means losing a Senate seat and yielding further advantage to the GOP, I'd rather see a man lose while fighting the good fight -- in this case, potentially alienating his own voting base by saying, no, this man should not serve on our highest court -- than win by compromising his integrity.

IA. Making Asia and Rose the faces of #MeToo was problematic for me. Not that Alyssa is squeaky clean. For the most part, though, her "legacy" as TV's Samantha Micelli makes for an image that goes down more smoothly for the general public.

True. OTOH, every movement needs a "face," someone who is in the public eye on a regular basis, or else the movement stalls. I'm not saying I agree with that line of thinking. I'm just offering why you end up with people like McGowan and Argento as the de facto leaders.

Like I said, she's no fool. Yep. The new album's about to drop, and it's gonna be wall-to-wall, old-school R&B slow jams. (Taylor's doing a Barry White cover, y'all. Get ready.)

Oh, no. Taylor's not a Democrat. Not by a long shot, lol. And like I said before, I won't believe it until I see it. (To hell with the "you can't show your ballot online" laws. If we could force Obama to show his birth certificates (which he shouldn't have had to!) then we can force Tay-Tay to show her completed ballot on Election Day. And there better be video of her actually dropping that ballot into whatever receptacle those things go into, too!)

LOL!! God, this is so rich! Really helps take the sting out of my tears! Oh, Taylor, you cash-sucking witch! You almost make me want to buy one of your albums just for bringing some laughter into my otherwise depressing Sunday evening!

As Clair Huxtable would say: You know [!@#$%^&*] just got real when Taylor Swift finds time in between boyfriends (and writing songs about said boyfriends) to go on Twitter and tell everyone who she's voting for. But she's no fool: she had no issue with remaining apolitical while simultaneously courting the MAGA crowd. However, the people who opposed his confirmation the most also make up significant portions of her album, song and concert ticket sales. She stood to lose big bucks if she did anything less than show her support, no matter how obvious she appears to outsiders. What Taylor has done is an act of self-preservation. Plain and simple.

I never thought I would say this, but, "You GO, Dr. Craig." I'm glad Ms. Bartlett brought up the fact that he chose his own career over his daughters' "sexual life and development." Unfortunately, he's a practicing Catholic; and Catholics' attitude toward unwanted pregnancy has always been, "Don't have sex in the first place." Which is not only impractical, but absurd. (Honestly, I've begun questioning whether I made the right choice to join the Catholic Church back in '08.)

No, they're not, Carl. They're not lying to themselves. They know exactly what they're doing, exactly what they're saying, and they don't care, because they know there's not a damn thing anyone will ever do about it. No, they're not delusional. They're just plain evil. They're calling him out, yes. But he Doesn't. Care. That's what I keep trying to say: THEY. DON'T. CARE. I just wish they let the masks fall, STOP the pretense of caring even a little bit, and get on with the business of turning us back into masters and slaves. It's what they want. It's what they've always wanted. And sooner or later, it's what they're going to get.
