Now l do understand this could easily upset some of the ladies on here & maybe some of the guys, but l personally think this woman's movement labelled MeToo has gone too far now, or were they all really abused & raped, or maybe...just maybe...some of them are jumping on the bandwagon..
Thankfully, my words are better portrayed via the lovely Catherine Deneuve!
PS, don't slag her off just because she has lost her looks either, that would be immature & childish don't you think?

It seems to be a fixture of modern life that issues which are complex become over-simplified by the addition of a #. You're either pro or anti, no shades of grey, no debate.
There is a world of difference between an actress trading on her looks and desirability (in addition to her talent) performing sexual favours to get a role and a woman in a low status job being sexually abused by her boss and unable to fight back because she needs the job. The first is a contract, the second is sexual abuse.
There is a world of difference between a man touching your knee and being dragged into an alleyway and raped by a stranger.
There can't be a woman alive who has not had to rebuff clumsy advances by a man she didn't fancy but who welcomed the same sort of approach when it was made by a man she did fancy.
The metoo hashtag has been hijacked, it is not an emblem of "survival" it has become a virtue signal by women who might have been leered at.
Germaine Greer referred to growing up with the Carry On films, where sexual innuendo and leering were the mainstays of the genre. In every case, women dealt with it themselves, there and then, usually making the men look like the fools they were. To me the vast majority (not all) of the metoo brigade won't do this and run to "teacher", even years after the event.
It must be a scary time to be a man these days. It must also be scary to have been a man for the last few decades. Who knows when the next historical allegation will be made?
TL:DR #metoo=#zzzzzzzzz ____________________ Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right |

Today, I did recall that #IKissedAGirl without her explicit, affirmative ongoing consent 30 years ago and #SheDecidedThatSheDidNotLikeItAfterTheFactAlthoughSheWasHappyEnoughToSwapSpitAtTheTime. I wondered if somewhere out there, I now feature in a #SurvivorsTale.

Snap, sort of. Mine was when she got her brother to put me in a headlock while she puckered up. I spat in her face to preserve my oral virginity.
A couple of years of... development... later, I really, reeeeeeally regretted that.
Now that I've recovered the memory, where do I claim my compo? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Mmm. Salma Hayek just... I think the kids these days say "threw shade" at Gary Oldman for daring to win an award for Best Leading Male Actress, to the expected whooping and hollering from tha sistahood.
All right, pet, I get that now that your career is fading that you're all about declaring that Weinstein tried to put the moves on you, but taking that out on one of your own virtue signalling prog-allies is cheap, and tawdry, and just plain nasty.
If you can't behave like a classy broad, you should probably shouldn't expect to get treated like one. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Unless I'm misunderstanding her protest, they want one category for 'actors' because sex isn't important. But at the same time they want more female directors/writers etc. because sex is important?
BTW who died? |

Natalie Portman who set up Handsomecharlie films which has to date produced or announced 9 films, 8 of them helmed by male directresses, and only 1 by a wamen. That wamen being one Ms Natalie Portman. That Natalie Portman?
Natalie Portman who considers Roman Polanski's anal roofie rape of a 13 year old girl a "so-called crime" that should be forgiven and forgotten? Or are there a whole slew of Natalies Portmen in Hollywood? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Rape and sexual abuse has a new definition. If a girl has sex with a guy while drunk, and regrets it the next day, it's "rape". If the girl says she was up for it, she's a slut and/or knowingly slept with someone ugly or not cool enough. If she says it was rape, she get sympathy and he is at fault. If you are a girl in that situation, why not say rape?
Conversely if a hot guy nearly rapes a girl while drunk, he is hot and cool, it'd definitely not rape.
TL;DR If you are ugly, do audio recordings with time stamps when you have sex with girls. It's easier than jail time I'm sure.

I think my empathy chip must be broken because the BBC's Inside Story on Weinstein seemed to follow the same pattern. Aspiring actress puts herself in a bad situation, in some cases despite several warning signs (), Weinstein makes a clumsy/creepy approach, aspiring actress gets a big pay off.
A million quid for a shot at boob with an Italian model who has previous (and the authorities didn't believe)? Or Rose McGowen and his inappropriate behavior... actually lets upgrade it to rape as I have a memoir coming out.
I don't doubt Weinstein's behaviour but I do doubt motivations when the compo train's pulling in, something I don't fully understand as I would have thought justice would be more important.
tl;dr Weinstein did this a lot plus whatever else you believe:

^Seth Macfarlane actually outed Weinstein whilst Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence were thanking him. |

Yes, 30 Rock too.
And all of Hollywood lolled, because they all knew what was going on, and none of them gave a damn as long as he was still powerful. It only became bad ficki when he stopped backing big box office films. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

So it is kinda like the Jimmy Savile thing, except you know with grown-ups who were old enough to understand what was going on |

In order to protest wamen actors being treated as dumb meat puppets and instead respected for their intellect, Emma Watson is sporting a Time's Up tattoo.
