Democrat party appears to have been doing all the screeching about abuses towards women but the entire time Hillary Clinton was being bankrolled by a top predator of women!
I'll go so far as to say that Weinsten's activities were just standard operating procedures. What about all the other offenders? Weinstein can't be the only one.
For the most part, I think these women are full of shit--especially Hillary Clinton. She went right along with Bill Clinton and trashed all sorts of women who came forward about Bill. The idea that she's somehow sickened by Weinstein when she played "stand by your man" throughout the Monica Lewinsky ordeal is par for the course. Lewinsky, of course, was reported to have said that she would need to have knee pads to serve in the White House. She knew exactly what she was doing. So do most of these actresses.

Hillary Clinton jumped right in and slammed Weinstein and purported to be "sick." A big part of the story is the institutional cover-up for people like Weinstein and Bill Clinton--and Hillary is part of that system.

Or they give them a wedding ring--the entire purpose of marriage being heterosexual procreation.

That's exactly what it is...

Prostitution is illegal in California. Since these actresses are not "employees" in any traditional sense of an employment contract, it would be very difficult to establish some sort of sexual harassment allegation. So they are going with sexual assault in this case. So we get the very entertaining stories of a rich liberal masturbating in front of an actress. You yourself purported to be masturbating to comments I made about Donald Trump, resulting in the moderators here killing the most active thread the site has had.
Pants-of-dog wrote:You are still ignoring the power dynamic and the threat to livelihood, and trying to pretend this is not rape.
Not everybody is a Marxist. So not everybody thinks this "power dynamic" is anything more than a fancy phrase.
Pants-of-dog wrote:It could just as easily have been the case that Weinstein simply raped these young women and then told them that if they talked about it they would get blacklisted.
Now we're in to hypotheticals.
Pants-of-dog wrote:Also, there is a difference between sexual harassment, which os the "deal making" you keep referring to and which is also illegal, and sexual assault, which is rape and which Weinstein is also charged with.
There are no formal complaints against him as yet, are there?
Pants-of-dog wrote:But again, feel free to ignore these facts and keep claiming that unwanted sexual contact is okay if the person doing the unwanted sexual contact has some sort of economic power over the person who is not consenting.
Keep pretending that people with power of sexual attraction are not using that power to try to get money from people who have money and no sexual attraction. Sexual attraction and using it for power is what women do. Darwinian sexual selection doesn't stop at the door step of the human race, which is why Marxism is such a tedious ideology. Sex has been traded for food, violence, etc. long before there was a system of exchange, money, or capitalism.

We need to talk about Terry Crews. Why is he not naming the person who groped his balls? That is far more interesting, I think. After all, Terry Crews wasn't some poor person. He was a rich NFL guy who went in to acting. Maybe they thought it was okay to grope his balls, because he was black. Maybe people don't want to talk about it, because Terry Crews is a man and they are trying to kick start the "war on women" meme after Hillary's failed election. As far as I know, the Republicans didn't have a war on women. Apparently, a bunch of friends of the Clintons did though.
