My main point was that if a woman does it, there is no actual outrage, and everyone thinks it's funny and cute, including the men that it happens to. And I won't lump things together like that, just like I wouldn't lump a shoplifter in with an armed robber, or someone who would steal a car.

Oh, please stop talking, Matt Damon. Bending over backwards to cover his ass in case we might associate him too closely with Weinstein, and Ben and Casey Assfleck.

 

All this mansplaining. Nobody doubts there aren't plenty of men who do not sexual harass or assault. People are just trying to figure out the ones who DO so that they can be held accountable. I don't understand why this is such a source of anxiety and concern for Damon.

 He sounds afraid we might hang, draw and quarter all men. When, let's be real, NONE of the accused have even been arrested or prosecuted yet!

 

This complicity in Hollywood is so ugh. Thinking about HW and how he destroyed people's careers who did not acquiesce to him -- he could not have done that alone. He called up his buddies at other studios and production companies and got them to blackball his targets, too. Everybody is involved right up to their necks. 

 

On the upside, this story kind of made my day. http://dlisted.com/2017/12/17/west-beverlys-finest-says-he-punched-harvey-weinstein/

 

Dun-dun dun-dun. Dun-dun dun-dun. Boosh boosh!

I had a feeling Meryl Streep pushing herself in the public eye so much this past year would cause backlash, not helped by her saying she had no idea about Weinstein, but targeting her this way is just counterprodcutive and makes me worry about where this will go.

 

Anyway, words from someone who really may not want to be speaking much on this topic:

So Glenn Thrush at the NYT gets to return to working there? For Jodi Kantor and the other women who have been assiduously writing on sexual harassment and the #MeToo movement, this can't be good news for them.

 

I now wonder whether whether some other media outlet will take up the mantle of reportage because many will now think twice about reading their articles (myself included) on the subject.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
