You really do have a seriously weird attitude Barry. You make a statement, now back it up with some evidence rather than your warped world view.
āIn a statement, the Academy said governors voted to expel Weinstein ānot simply to separate ourselves from someone who does not merit the respect of his colleagues but also to send a message that the era of wilful ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually predatory behaviour and workplace harassment in our industry is overāā¦ā
They could of course have done this years agoā¦but didnāt. Just saying.

I read a long feature on the Mail Online this morning about all the women who have made claims about sexual abuse by Harvey Weinstein. Following the feature there were a number of other features with pictures of women in tiny bikinis including dozens of pictures of Kate Upton flashing her bits. Do the people who edit this stuff have any idea about what they are doing?
I used to read Mail Online, but itās a bit too NSFW, so I get my current affairs from Pornhub now.

Hmm
Isnāt there some rule that the President is immune to prosecution while in office? I hope I havenāt just made that upā¦
They absolutely know what theyāre doing. Making sure they get lots of hits on their site for revenue and sadly people like to make comments on women wearing clothes or looking rough etc. Most of those clicks are women (half my colleagues at lunchtime).
so the hash tag Me Too has started for women and men to show they have been been sexually assaulted or harrassed.
Iāve seen one friend on Facebook put it. I am sure there are more but maybe like me they cannot quite put it out there on social media. Though I was able to relay a lot (but by no means all) on the feminism thread to a bunch of mostly strangers.

Seems the fall out is spreading.
Amazon Studio boss has now quit & his wedding has been called off 
As it is in the Fail Iāve copied the relevant parts
Roy Price, the head of Amazon Studios has resigned days after being put on indefinite leave over sexual harassment claims.
Last week, Price, 51, was brought into the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal that is engulfing Hollywood by claims from two women.
One is producer Isa Hackett who said he sexually harassed her in 2015, telling her: āYou will love my d***ā.
Actress Rose McGowan, one of the dozens to have accused Weinstein of sexually harassing and assaulting them, also claimed Price ignored her when she confided in him that she had been raped last year.
His fiancƩe Lila Feinberg called off their November 12 wedding after the claims were made.
An Amazon spokesman did not give details of Priceās resignation on Tuesday but confirmed his departure to CNN.

This is all starting to make me feel quite annoyance + sadness. To some extent, Iām willing to overlook instances of young bros trying their luck. I mean, I still remember what it was like to be young man in charge of ambitious penis. You can kid yourself into thinking birds is more interested in your penis than they actually are, and tbf that works both ways. I dunno if you can get through life never being sexually propositioned by someone ur not interested in, and sometimes in a v.clumsy & inappropriate way. Iāve had ugly strangers grab my junk or make sexual comments on me. I mean, I quite like it, but I can see how it would be annoyance + trauma if it was happening All The Time.
What I canāt understand though, is how you can get to be Grown Man and still not know how to tell if a bird is genuinely interested in seeing ur penis, hearing about ur penis, or watching you jack off into a potted plant. What is wrong with these bros?

iād normally be jump to defence of this bro. I have v.low bar for what is acceptable to say if ur joking. But as itās James Corden, Iām willing to let it slide. I hope he gets raped in PC Prison!
The fact is/was and will remain people will keep their mouths shut as they want to progress their careers, the continuence of this is their fault also.

Yep sad but true Baz. You have to hope that people coming out now will help to stamp out this type of abuse of power but I doubt it will. Also sad is that when people have spoken out about it they have been quickly shut down, Corey Feldman spoke out years ago about the abuse he and co-stars suffered as child actors in the 80s, and was swept under the carpet for being a ādruggieā. I predict this outrage will go on for a while yet, slowly be forgotten about then resurface with someone else in a few years.

Is it double standards for me to rail on this Weinstein bro, considering I have jacked it to almost all of these actresses? I spose in my defence, I at least did it while they were not present, like a gentleman. Still, makes you think, aināt it.
