ORIGINAL: Milesnmiles I find it rather hilarious and ironic if not hypocritical that in a kink forum people are dissing Weinstein for sexual harassment, when quite a few here would probably welcome such advances with pleasure if not being disappointed with the lack of “sophistication”; honestly, one women was upset because he tried to force a kiss on her, the pervert. I mean he wasn’t attacking underage children, these were adult women, who weren’t bound or drugged. Whatever happened to; I don’t like you in that way, can’t we just be friends? Now a days it’s he’s rich, I’ll break him and sue for millions. Wow! You and Woody Allen are the only two people I have encountered who have attempted to mount a defence of Weinstein's behaviour. Of course Allen has his own personal axe to grind - he has been accused by his adopted daughter of repeatedly raping her while she was a child. It doesn't require Einstein-level intelligence to join the dots in Allen's case does it? I won't make any further comment about the company you find yourself in, but if I was you I would be asking myself some basic and serious questions. If I recall correctly you have quite a few things to say about various religious topics on these boards, you know things like love and compassion and the like .. yet here you are dissembling and blame shifting away from a person who is being roundly condemned by all (except, of course, Woody Allen and you) after dozens of women accused him of sexually assaulting/raping them. Rather than showing some empathy and/or compassion for the victims, you accuse them of cynically ganging up on him for base financial motives with I might add, zero evidence to support your fanciful claim. Rather than attempting to understand the power dynamics that enable predators to abuse their power and wealth to prey upon and sexually exploit women, you prefer to trash all the women concerned as cynical avaricious gold diggers, again without offering an iota of evidence to support your claim. I shall remember your comments here next time you pontificate to us about religion, morality and ethics. No doubt you will welcome me reminding you of these comments then. I did not try to defend Weinstein I merely pointed out that I found it “rather hilarious and ironic if not hypocritical that in a kink forum people are dissing Weinstein”, which is in no way a defense or even an attempt at a defense of Weinstein, You very clearly tried to defend his behaviour when you claimed: "I mean he wasn’t attacking underage children, these were adult women, who weren’t bound or drugged. Whatever happened to; I don’t like you in that way, can’t we just be friends?" This is classic defence of 'It's not as bad as you are trying to make out it is, it's really just a trivial misunderstanding'. Secondly by reducing the gravity of the charges against Weinstein, which in many cases were rape and other serious sexual assaults to merely 'forcing a kiss' you try to discredit and minimise the gravity of those accusations. Your insistence that 'forcing kisses' on unwelcoming women is the issue here shifts the goalposts from accusations of major crimes to mere indiscretions and unwelcome advances. You seem blithely unaware of the nature and gravity of the charges against Weinstein. Or, perhaps in the weird scheme of things you apparently inhabit, rape is not a serious matter ... Of course your comments should be interpreted as minimising Weinstein's offences - that is the most reasonable interpretation of them. Your own words make it impossible for me to believe that this was not your intention. quote:
Third, this; “Rather than showing some empathy and/or compassion for the victims, you accuse them of cynically ganging up on him for base financial motives with I might add, zero evidence to support your fanciful claim”. I have empathy and compassion for all innocent victims, not that would make any difference to you. [..]These women ...are getting their 15 minutes of fame and fortune. Yes you go on to demonstrate all the "empathy and compassion" you have for Weinstein' victims immediately - just a sentence or two later, as in: "These women ... are getting their 15 minutes of fame and fortune. " Are you that dumb that you didn't realise that you are re-stating (and therefore confirming) the very accusations that you are trying to deny? You dismiss Weinstein's victims as hussies out to get "their 15 minutes of fame and fortune". You have confirmed the accuracy of my observation that you accused them of "cynically ganging up on him for base financial motives" the very accusation you sought to explicitly deny. How moronic is that? Missing completely from your post is the principle of consent. It seems to be the case that you either reject or are unaware of the principle that women must give their free and fully informed consent to any sexual activity before it commences. You seem to regard accusations of rape and serious sexual assault with the same levity you attach to forcing a kiss. Someone has already described your position as that of a "throwback". I suspect that even in the Neanderthal era, your views would be popular among all the throwbacks of that era. Message for you - it's 2017 and Weinstein's behaviour, and your dissembling minimising and defence of it are totally unacceptable in today's world. Honestly, get a life. You are exactly the kind of people I find so amusing. You are on a site that is more or less advocating all sort of, shall we say, unnormal behavior and Weinstein force kissing women sets you to ranting. You need to get a grip. Personally, I don't know Weinstein, do you? You seem ready to lynch him, yet there is no "proof" of what you accuse him of, usually courts don't accept his word against mine. If there is proof, I will let the courts decide what to do with him. I think that's the way this country supposed to work, innocent till proven guilty. So far all I've read is, he tried to kiss me, he laid on me and he grabbed my boob and not all the same person. The President is a confessed pussy grabber, where is your outrage towards him they seem to be birds of a feather. I haven't seen the rape charges yet, that seems more serious than forced kissing, perhaps you could show me when he'll be charged for that? As for my views, I have never said that I agree with what they say he did or try to defend it but because I find your rants and raves humorous, suddenly I’m defending him and not showing compassion for the women that were so vilely accosted, that seems a bit of a stretch even for you.
