ORIGINAL: bounty44 i like your Jackson katz perspective very much... although im not quite seeing how it jibes with Michael's post, but independent from that, I think you are missing his point---that had Weinstein been a figure on the right, the left (here and elsewhere) would have been all over it in a heartbeat, and they weren't. plus the "war on women" phrase was one the left used concerning the right for whenever the right engaged, or was charged with engaging, the same behavior that one of their (the left) own not just heavily engaged in, but knew about for years and did nothing. I will be happy to tell MP that you said so. It was his find. Now, I'm perfectly cool if the point to this was my lack of not knowing the players without a score card as far as who is supposed to be on the right or left of this thing. Don't care what campaign contributions or politicians Weinstein supported over the years or what his political thoughts happen to be. I'm much more focused on did the person commit the crime(s) and if they did, should their butt be in jail? More often than not, if the answer to that last part is yes, I'm a huge supporter in locking the person up. They don't get points because they are a Republican, Democrat, right or left. To me, all of that crud is secondary. Is anybody, right or left, actually defending this guy?? It's practically impossible to keep up with everybody even remotely associated with him that doesn't have a twitter or other social media account that's had something to say about it. That's a long list of people, and so far, I haven't seen anybody come out and say what this guy did was OK. Considering Weinstein has practically admitted to his so-called 'mistakes,' it's not really a question. (Personally, I have no clue why Weinstein's attorney didn't tell him to keep his trap shut because he's obliterating his own defense if any of this goes to trial.)
