If we're playing the blame game, i reckon Harvey is top of the list.. him being the rapist and that
Please don’t tell us you’re offended at that.Just watching Loose Women, which opened with an article about Weinstein, saying how good it is that these women have secured convictions against him. Fully agree with that.
They went on to discuss divorce parties. Janet Street Porter commented about her four divorces, and went on to say she has previously had two male lodgers, one of whom stayed rent free, on the condition (or understanding) that he had sex with her, whenever she wanted it. They all laughed at the hilarity of this.
Can you imagine if a male landlord went on TV bragging that he allows women to stay with him for free on the condition that he can have sex with them? There would be outrage! Not least from Janet Street Porter and her Loose Women.
I commented to the wife about this, and she said the Weinstein case is very different. I'm not fully clued up with his case, but was there an element of no sex = no part in my movie?
I find it hypocritical that these women can laugh and joke about a woman's sexual habits, but if a man does the same, he would be strongly castigated.
I can blame every single one of them. By not reporting a crime they put other women at risk.
I clearly said I found it hypocritical. I didn't say I was offended.Please don’t tell us you’re offended at that.
Well then you have no fucking idea what you are talking aboutI can blame every single one of them. By not reporting a crime they put other women at risk.
That is not strictly true,it was a different subject to weinstein and they were at pains to stress that it was a mutual friends with benefits sort of arrangement,nothing in the slightest to warrant being tagged into this threadJust watching Loose Women, which opened with an article about Weinstein, saying how good it is that these women have secured convictions against him.

I didn't mean to imply it was the same article. I'm not sure they were friends though. Surely she, or a good number of people would let a friend stay for nothing.That is not strictly true,it was a different subject to weinstein and they were at pains to stress that it was a mutual friends with benefits sort of arrangement,nothing in the slightest to warrant being tagged into this thread
I believe there were issues as some people had signed NDAs under duress and weren’t sure that this cunts lawyers weren’t going to destroy them.Do you know for certain than none of these women made reports at the time ? I don't know enough about the case to know but as we have seen with other well known "powerful" abusers these things have a way of being swept under the carpet until many victims come forward together.
