Why is pedophilia so bad anyway?

How you can post that as truth is beyond me. No liberal ever defended HArvey  Weinstein or Kevin Spacey?! Are you out of your ever lovin' mind?! That's all the liberals in Hollywood did. They kept their slimy, disgusting, enabling mouths shut and let it happen and continue to happen. That fucking slime ball Jane Fonda "It wasn't my story to tell." Fuck you bitch, you kept your filthy enabling mouth shut and let it continue. Knowing it happened and knowing it would continue to happen to countless other women. All the Hollywood liberals that knew and said nothing.
And the shining beacon of truth  the NY Times squashed the story for 13 years. How many women could have been saved from sexual harassment and rape in that time? 

You only arrest when you can't deny it any longer. The holier than thou mantra is getting so old and laughable. Even long before all the liberals in Hollywood, pointing their fingers at republicans and saying how terrible they are as we watch what falls out of their disgusting closet. You can no longer holler about Republicans being so much worse because they run on a platform of morality. Liberals may not run on that platform but they sure do stand on it.

The liberal cesspool of Hollywood stood up and applauded, cheered, hugged and partied with these rapists, sexual assaulters, sexual predators. It might not have been their stories to tell, but they sure didn't turn away, did they? In the meantime, they have the balls to talk about morals? I don't fucking think so.

Meanwhile, in the rest of the country, democrats and liberals pretend only republicans have dirty hands. Let's see:

Bill Clinton
Anthony Weiner
Eliot Spitzer
David Wu
Kwame Kilpatrick
John Edwards
David Paterson
Marc Dann
Paul Morrison
Gary Condit
Tim Mahoney
Neil Goldschmidt (he's old and white (since that's important) and had relations with a 14 year old)
Mel Reynolds
Barney Frank

There's enough scum in both parties. Pretending one party is worse is deplorable.

Huh? You two are blaming television for creating sexual predators? Insane.

Hollyweird has long claimed the moral high ground over The Folks. They believe they are so much more highly evolved and self-actualized. Actors that have barely graduated high school feel the need to guide our beliefs and tell us how to vote.

Weinstein is just the tip of the iceberg. Even those that didn't actively participate are guilty of the sin of omission. They knew and chose money and power.

Have a little equanimity with your disdain. 

I agree that children today are over sexualized. But you make no sense.

Kids grow up thinking what is the norm? And how does media have more of a responsibility for the sexualization of children than their parents do?

And are you saying over sexualized children are to blame for pedophiles?

Often. And those reports are a very long time coming.

I have siiinnnnnnnned! Tears flowing...........

I can see him in my mind, but cannot remember his name!

Jane Fonda could have exposed HW secret without revealing the name(s) if she believed the woman (men). HW counted on people falling on the "not my story so I'm turning a blind eye".

This Moore guy needs to be held accountable if he's guilty. I've read where the statue of limitations has occurred though. If he's guilty, he needs to bow out of public service since there isn't a law still in effect. The 2nd woman: Who is this mother who thought her 18 y.o. was lucky he dated her? The 18 y.o.said they only kissed. Perhaps she was too old and not really his type.

And how exactly would that have gone down?

Jane Fonda to police: “I know some women Harvey Weinstein behaved sexually inappropriately with.”

Police: We need details—names, dates, pertinent facts.
Jane: Sorry, I can’t tell you.”

Do you see how absurd that is? No matter how you feel about her political past, it’s just not her fucking job to police perverts or to make accusations on behalf of victimized women.

For some reason that made me think of Oral Roberts. Remember when he needed a ton of money or God "would call him home?"

I never said she should have gone to police. I said exposed not reported to police (I.e. in a public way like rose McGowan) and I never said she should say the name in public. I have no idea the age of the person JF referred. If the person was a minor when she told JF, I believe JF should have gone to police or children services, to handle it. It would be absurd not to report to authorities unless someone is ok with minors being exploited.



An actor/comedian (?) said on an award show that the 5 actresses up for an award didn't have to worry about HW anymore. I think there was a South Park reference to HW as well.

Sex *is* normal!!!!

The problem is not exposure to sex, it's a culture - both in entertainment and more generally - that treats women as chattel, conquests, and so on. Over and over and over, women are presented as less than men. No one is out there trying to prevent men from getting vasectomies to protect possible future life because our culture doesn't think it has the right to dictate what a man does with his body. Men are assumed to be competent and trusted with decisions about their own lives, while those very same men think women need to be controlled. If it's acceptable for government to control all women's bodies, why isn't it OK for an individual man to control an individual woman's body? 

If our society actually treated men and women as equals, we would not see nearly as much of this. 

It's not because kids see portrayals of sex, it's because it's engrained in every corner of our culture than women should submit to men. Being raised with THAT is what makes each generation think this kind of behavior toward women is acceptable. 

If you disdain Hollywood so much, why do you choose to believe Hollywood women and men about their accusations, but not the small town Republican woman who voted for Trump?

I think all sexual predators/assaulters are disgusting.

I'm really confused. So she couldn't go to the police. How could she out him without the permission of the women assaulted? You are one person removed from victim blaming. The whole deal with Weinstein was he had power. Power is a silencer. Why are you blaming Jane Fonda and not Weinstein?
