All you need to know is the same people that stood by and did nothing about the predatory acts from the likes of Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and Roman Polanski (twice), are now wearing all black and talking about why sexual harassment and abuse needs to stop at the Golden Globes.

While I'm not siding with the likes of Polanski here, you shouldn't be using The Daily Caller as a news source. It's a right leaning conservative news source. Buzzfeed or CNN is more reputable. Just my two cents OP.

Buzzfeed is fake news and CNN is unreliable for a lot of political topics.

I'm glad it's getting attention, but the problem is much bigger still than they're treating it. The victims range far more than just women. It's basically pedophilia, male victims too.

Out of any organization in the country, Hollywood is the biggest cesspool of them all, at least of the ones that people don't really understand.

Fake news? Buzzfeed gave us the dossier report, that basically gave credence to Trump-Russia collusion. Without their journalistic integrity we wouldn't know of the event that led, as to how Trump won.

All you need to know is that "Hypocrites!" is a red herring used to avoid talking about why predatory acts occur and how to reduce their frequency.

Also, most of these "harassment" cases are just deals made with consent from both paries, much like prostitution, so women aren't exactly as innocent as they are portrayed in the media.
I am thoroughly reassured by the notion that the film industry is "much like prostitution."

If they make it all about women it makes them look more progressive and socially conscious.

This.
They're only doing this for marketing reasons, and the sexual harassment that's been brought up is most likely just the tippy top of the iceberg.

Also, most of these "harassment" cases are just deals made with consent from both paries, much like prostitution, so women aren't exactly as innocent as they are portrayed in the media.


False accusers are just as disgusting.

The problem is that these children, if they say no to the wrong person, their careers are over. And saying no to someone might be saying no to someone else, a friend of a friend so to say. Even if they were to say no, if they ever went to some of these parties, they likely got doped with drugs or given alcohol, tipping them over and taking away their inhibitions.

There are definitely good people in the business, but it's kinda hard to tell who's exploiting who, and who's exploiting at all.

And I'm making the case that since women are likely to be sexually harassed than men, then there's a perfectly valid reason to believe women over the accused. Doesn't take a genius to make that connection.

My logic being "fucked" is a subjective opinion. And of course the fact that they are more likely to be sexually harassed has everything to do with it.

You'd be singing a different tune if you had a daughter, or even a sister.

No its not a subjective opinion. The fact that they are more likely to be harassed doesnt change or have any effect over that fact that many of them make false claims. And i do have a sister.

Do I have to make all the connections for you to get it. Women are more likely to be telling the truth based on the simple fact that they are more likely to be harassed. Women, being more likely to be sexually harassed is backed by statistics. Now do you get it?

Give me a statistics that says women are more likely to be making false claims when reporting harassment. Sure there always going to be someone taking advantage of this, but that doesn't change the fact they are still more likely to be sexually harassed.

Are you this stupid? Women being more likely to be harassed is irrelevant to the fact that many do make false claims. No one is saying that women arent more likely to be sexually harassed. No one is saying anything about women being more or less likely to lie about being harassed then men which you seem to be thinking?

I didnt even say whether or not more of the claims are fake or real. The only point that matters is that many of them are in fact false so if we believed ever woman who said they were sexually harrassed then many innocent people would ruined as a result and bad people would get away with making false accusations.

And I'm not denying that 'many' of them are false claims. Doesn't change the fact that MOST of them are more likely to be true based on the fact that they mare likely to be sexually harassed BACKED by statistics.

Because it's higher, it gives them the opportunity to lie and get away with it. For a man to make a claim of sexual harassment, the burden of proof is much greater, making false claims much less likely. However women can often say they've been sexually harassed, and that's the end of it. Without the burden of proving their words, they're free to lie as much as they want, thereby increasing the amount of false claims.

Celebrities are virtue signaling, as they always do. This will do absolutely nothing.

Most of them knew about the shit that goes on in Hollywood, so why didn't they raise a stink over it back then? Why did it have to take till Weinstein got caught with his pants down before people decided to come forth?

Plus, this whole #metoo thing is mostly BS, IMO, especially since it's only about female victims of sexual assault, while male victims get told to fuck off and stop raping women. Pus, I suspect a lot of these allegations are made-up.

Not necisarily made up but some are so far back they might just remember them wrong. So not everything not true is intentionally deceptive.

It's a good thing that these sexual harassment cases and other dirty Hollywood secrets are finally being revealed. That said, "showing solidarity" by wearing a certain kind of clothing is imo the lamest, vainest way to engage in activism ever. Those celebs are basically just using the cause to make themselves look more saintly.

Hollywood: Let's spend an entire awards ceremony virtue signaling about how we need to stop sexual assault in the industry...without naming the purveyors of it.

If they really wanted to show courage, they would have had an awards ceremony dedicated to shaming and ousting every predator in the industry.
