Luring young, naive, subordinate women into a private lair for sexual purposes rather than business ones is not making it clear beforehand.

Many such women are naturally whorish. That in no way exonerates this molester.

The two are separate and distinct.

I assumed he was a sacrificial swine to protect homoerotic pedophilia from day one.

I have not seen even one mention of Bryan Singer in the media.

[YogicCowboy]

Precisely. That oversight makes the entire article disingenuous.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Precisely, and they continue to do so all the time.

I don’t think sleep was involved.

Mr. Weinstein was a powerful gatekeeper, and was willing to open that gate to certain comely young women who wanted in. But there was an entrance fee. He made it clear to them what the price was, and they decided they were willing to pay it. No rape or coercion was involved; it was a commercial transaction.

Exactly. If it was rape, we wouldn't be hearing about it now, ten years after the fact, when it's the trending media topic. The police would have heard about it ten years ago when it happened.

Weinstein and his actresses aren't a case of a rapist and victims. They are a case of a very wealthy and powerful John and his client hookers. The only difference is that he paid them with careers in Hollywood instead of with cash. Is it sleazy? Absolutely, though that's the way Hollywood has operated for decades - Weinstein was just a little too ham-fisted in his approach. Is it felonious assault or rape? Absolutely not.

You opined: “Is it felonious assault or rape? Absolutely not.” And you are familiar with every episode? Spouting off as if you are when you are not causes one to wonder how involved in such putrefaction you are ...

[ek_hornbeck]

A bunch of actresses prostitute themselves to a sleazy Hollywood power broker to advance their careers and cry rape 10 years later, all en masse. Forgive me for being more than a little suspicious about their claims.

Spouting off as if you are when you are not causes one to wonder how involved in such putrefaction you are

Well, if we're going to play the ad hominem game, the counter to this is that by supporting the unproven allegations of rape, you are aiding the agenda of radical feminists with their BS claims of "patriarchy" and "rape culture."

[MHGinTN]

Well, you certainly are reinforcing suspicions.

[MHGinTN]

Are you telling me these ‘courtesans’ are now members of Harvey’s family?

[suijuris]

LOL! My apology. I should have qualified that by refering you to the Urban Dictionary.

hypergamy

Evolutionary Psychology theory on the instinctual desire of humans of the female sex to discard a current mate when the opportunity arises to latch onto a subsequent mate of higher status due to the hindbrain impetus to find a male with the best ability to provide for her OWN offspring (already spawned or yet-to-be spawned) regardless of investments and commitments made to a current mate.

As societal impediments (both economic and cultural) to the recission of binding monogamous relationships deteriorate, the validity of this theory is being rediscovered to the chagrin of men in the trenches and to the delight of the new social engineers up in the towers.
