sexting is a sign of carelessness among people who should be more cautious (a. wiener por ejemplo)

the same kind of argument might be applied to extramarital affairs, these things in some sense depends on what happens, who does it and how it impacts on their jobs
but there's also a confusion between sections of the public who are angry about abuse of power relationships and misogynist behaviour and sections of the public who just like policing other people's sexuality

Petraeus & Mr Appalachian Trail (i forget his name) both walked away from their jobs (iirc?) for having what seemed like run-of-the-mill extramarital affairsthat seemed excessive to me tbh

A rightwing guerrilla artist in Los Angeles has claimed responsibility for posters that depict Meryl Streep as an enabler of Harvey Weinstein, calling them revenge for the actor’s criticism of Donald Trump.Sabo, a former US marine who considers leftism a “disorder”, told the Guardian on Wednesday he created the posters that show Streep with a red stripe across her face and the text “She knew”, a reference to accusations that she had knowledge of Weinstein’s alleged sexual abuse of women.Sabo, 49, said he and two collaborators conceived the campaign as retaliation for Streep using her latest Oscar-tipped film, The Post, to bash Trump. “She’s swiping at us so we’re swiping back.”

FWIW, Streep has worked on only one Weinstein production, August: Osage County (2013).

Wow - when the Streep story came out yesterday, and was pushed by Drudge etc, I was wondering if it was a right-wing thing -- especially because there was a similar guerrilla campaign against Al Franken in L.A. a month earlier.
Guessing it will be another tactic from Roger Stone et al to take down their (sometimes deserving) targets.

this is pretty interesting. given that the last question specifies "with an employee" or "with someone much younger", I take it that the rest of the questions concern private, consensual relationships among adults. maybe I'm missing some context, or do majorities of MPs think, for example, that having porn on their work computer or sexting are fireable offenses?

All these men squealing about how they can’t even hit on a woman anymore reminds me of all the men who were like “it’s just locker room talk”.

When men reach a certain age, their families banish them to locker rooms to live out their last days there, naked. It's part of American culture.

― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 21 December 2017 20:24 (six years ago) link
my guess is that's what set her off a bit, maybe not bc Streep knew anything but that she must have been aware HW was at the very least a total bully and she still went out of her way to praise him. though i doubt that she never heard a single thing about him being a creep to women, tbh. McGowan might also be striking back against and venting about what she perceives to be the elite of Hollywood trampling all over those below them. which is accurate.
― omar little, Thursday, 21 December 2017 20:30 (six years ago) link
ok, stupid question.is anything going to actually happen to HW given all these revelations ? other than coming out of his supposed therapy/hiding in a few months.i realise his career is now f*cked, but surely there is enough to throw some legal gubbins at him.or, am i expecting too much too soon.

Two weeks after their abrupt suspensions, longtime WNYC hosts Leonard Lopate and Jonathan Schwartz have been fired. In a statement, spokesperson Jennifer Houlihan Roussel wrote “New York Public Radio has terminated the employment of Leonard Lopate and Jonathan Schwartz following two separate investigations overseen by outside counsel. These investigations found that each individual had violated our standards for providing an inclusive, appropriate, and respectful work environment.”
