Kelly the Dog Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Not sure why all this stuff is a a shocking revelation to all. I mean, the "casting couch" has been a cliche for years. I suppose it's like it always these days. More grist for the mill. Just think, if it's this bad in Hollywood, think how much worse it is in Washington? Hell, they can sic the IRS, legal system or any number of authoritarian bureaucracies on you if you don't fall in line.It seems more prevalent in the entertainment industry for sure. But a substantial portion of people that want to get into it like the power and press and promises of sex. You ask any rock n roll star they will blab that its all about the music and then admit they did it for the girls. That said, I happen to know a lot of rich guys, in a lot of different fields, and they are not much different when it comes to women.

I don't think it has as much to do with any particular industry as it does opportunity, in general. The more powerful and wealthy you are, the more likely it is you have both the means and circumstance to be in Weinstein's position. Influential men taking advantage of less powerful women is a tale as old as time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are countless numbers of women that want that fame and money and very few jobs, relatively speaking. Most of those women are hot of course so it kinda figures.

There are countless numbers of women that want that fame and money and very few jobs, relatively speaking. Most of those women are hot of course so it kinda figures. welp time to sound like a chauvinist again.Most of these women in Hollywood are not even close to a 10. They're the eight and a half or 9, maybe even nine and a half. And they know it and they work their butt off to look better they get the surgeries to look better and all they want is to be accepted for their beauty and be thought of as a skill. These are the girls that got attention for looking good enough and being Hannibal enough that guy's gave him attention and that's all they've learned how to use that for their own betterment. These actresses, while many of them is killed, do not have the social awareness of an average person as they're always treated as a better looking person. And most of them are charismatic, as they've not had much to ever ruin their day and someone always there to brighten up a bad day. These are the girls that post on Instagram and Snapchat that I enjoy looking at because they can post a simple snap like who's hungry and wants to take me to dinner and get five or six guys want to come pick them up and take them anywhere. These are the same girls that post a picture of them scantily clad across their bed thinking that they're just showing Beauty and confidence and who they are well actually realizing the message they're sending only to look for the ability to retrieve anything possible. They sell themselves out for the attention and it becomes a lifestyle for them. I've known these girls all of my life and date them monthly. once in awhile look good girl mixes in there and will stick around for a while but I like these damaged girls, maybe because they're just like me... a girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deck is stacked against ugly fat guys. that's not at all the case, as look at all the men who have done this in the past. Howard Hughes might be an example, or any of the old Rat Pack, JFK, many people did this and they got away with it and it's not about being fat or powerful it's just the way it is when someone finds a way to get at you when you're no longer in the popular seat and there's a reason to take you down in the end the bigots, Hypocrites and scum of Hollywood will forget this just like they did Mel Gibson, Roman Polanski, Bill Pullman, and so many others. It won't be long until they find a way to bring back Cosby eitherAll I took from this was you don't think a 9.5 is close to a 10. well, I do believe a flat chested women could never be a 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 #lookatmeimanactivist Obviously, a hashtag is no substitute for real life activism. I can’t believe I’m defending this, since I’ve never been on the Facepants or Assbook or Instacrap and I don’t follow all the Twits. BUT… if it makes people feel good, if it helps some people who are hesitant to speak up to have some small voice and a way to feel part of a community and to feel some empathy from others who have suffered… how is this not a positive thing? In any case, it doesn’t do any harm and it’s easy enough to ignore if you don’t like it. Is this not what these social media thingies are there for? Is this not a good example of people using it in a positive way? The fact that someone would go out of his way to poopoo this kind of thing is odd to me. I think it shows a person’s bias, because I don’t think it’s the medium that’s really being objected to—I think it’s the core message. And I can’t see any reason for a person to bother standing up to say this is not a worthwhile message. It IS worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
