While navigating professional relationships can often require that dreaded thing known as “any amount of work at all,” there is hope. You see, by following this one simple rule, you, too, can interact with women as people.It’s as clear-cut as this: Treat all women like you would treat Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson......Oh shoot! She’s pretty! In the face, even. What to do?! I mean, you know it’d be inappropriate to treat the coffee meeting as a date since her clearly stated intentions were professional. But on the other hand, she’s blonde, and so was your last girlfriend! This is so confusing! What a minefield you are in.But navigating this sticky situation can be made easy by employing The Rock Test. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and when you open them, pretend Karen looks like this: (picture of The Rock)Wow! Karen looks pretty tough and strong and sweaty! She looks like a person who is working very hard to achieve her goals, having left behind a situation that clearly wasn’t working, headed for bigger and better things. Maybe ask her about that? But definitely don’t hit on her. It looks like she could kill you with the chair you’re sitting on.

@imago - what is Cedric's connection to all this? his wife?

I don't think all harassers are as bold or view themselves as powerful as one that'd harass Terry Crews

Producer interviewed by Mair and just now on C4 is Alison Owen, who is Lily Allen’s mum. She said that she never had a firsthand account of HW’s antics, and even though she found him gross at that private screening, nothing he did in her presence was call-the-police actionable, and all the stories people shared were FOFish and basically hearsay.

Whoa I just looked at Cedric's twitter - glad that he's still with his wife, but distressed nonetheless that they're being harassed by Scientologists. Hope he's right about dominoes continuing to fall. LOL'd at this:

"Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein."
Yeah, definitely a hard swing and not any kind of trivialization of the issue.

Lmao yeah right some “hard swing”a hard swing = what rose mcgowan has been doing for years. it’s not a fucking joke. If you want to attack someone or bring them to justice just fucking say it.

we can probably assume harvey weinstein found this joke titillating

Would be incredible if someone made an accusation at an awards ceremony.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 20:42 (six years ago) link
that's the weakest swing at Weinstein imaginable. out of context it also twists it around to where the women are putting themselves out there, rather than having someone force himself upon them.
― nomar, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 20:46 (six years ago) link
Otm. also, yea it would be incredible & extremely unlikely anyone would make an accusation at the Oscars. I’m saying if he actually wanted to attack HW bc he “loathed” him so much, he could’ve made a statement. like, before the story broke
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 20:48 (six years ago) link
How is that unlikely? Half of all moviewood is infected with this shit. This is bound to come up, despite yr Murican 'Oscars are a show don't ruin it w/ politics or sexual misdemeanor'. It will come up, if only by the 'comic' presenting it. And however bad those comics are, it should come up. It needs to be mentioned. There is no alternative.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 20:58 (six years ago) link
Lol im definitely not in the “keep politics out of the Oscars” camp, I’m just saying it’s highly unlikely, & certainly was in 2013
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 20:58 (six years ago) link
I agree this has opened the floodgates & there will be much “atoning” in a few months at the globes, Oscars, etc
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 20:59 (six years ago) link
I don't think he was obligated to make a direct accusation at the Oscars, particularly if Barth wasn't willing. But I don't think his joke did anything to help either.

i am so moved by the women coming forward to tell their storieshe is not just a creep he is a powerful, physically intimidating and volatile creep who is using ALL of his available faculties against women Asia Argento’s story got to me, bc it shows the complexities of abuse and that this kind of abuse in the workplace is not only “one & done”, never again for women. You still have a life, you may still work with or for these creeps. And for those creeps the debasement & humiliation is how they *initiate* relationships. It starts with sexual abuse & harassment and CONTINUES with increased power & overtures and acting as though nothing has happened til these women are just numb and emotionally worn down like stones on the beach because it takes so much energy to be on high alert. It is oft repeated & bears repeating always that I and millions of women have heard and/or experienced stories like this our whole life. But to hear a story like Asia’s, or any woman’s and to to judge them as anything *other* than brave is a) mystifying & b) upsetting
