| Actress Rose McGowan on Harvey Sweinstein and the 'pile on' |
| 2017-10-28 |
| [Breitbart] Actress Rose McGowan addressed the crowd Friday in Detroit at the annual Women’s Convention, marking her first public speech since taking to Twitter earlier this month to accuse disgraced TWC mogul Harvey Weinstein of raping her, and blasted what she called Hollywood’s culture of fear and sexual misconduct. "I have been silenced for 20 years. I have been slut-shamed. I have been harassed. I’ve been maligned. And you know what? I’m just like you," told the crowd. "Because what happened to me behind the scenes happens to all of us in this society, and that cannot stand and it will not stand." "The paradigm must be subverted. It is time. We’ve been waiting a very long time for this to happen but we don’t have to wait anymore," she said before encouraging sexual misconduct victims to speak out and name their attacker. "I came to be a voice for all of us who have been told that we are nothing. For all us who have been looked down on. For all of us who have been grabbed by the motherfucking pussy," she said. "No more. Name it, shame it and call it out. Join me. It’s time to clean house." |

| #6 This is looking more and more like sex for movie roles, followed by regrets many years later. Hookers have been known to name their clients, either out of spite or because a blackmail scheme failed. But even hookers don't generally call it rape - unlike faded* actresses, they seem to have a basic set of ethics re quid pro quo transactions. * I don't see an actor losing prominence as some kind of professional and moral failure. Success in that field is a lot like winning first prize in the Lotto. It's just very rare, and not necessarily all that related to talent. What is a professional and moral failure is sleeping with a bigwig in the industry to get a role and then accusing him of rape. |

| #5 If attractive young women dress and act like sluts1) What do they expect to happen? 2) What should any attracted male do that is appropriate? Very good questions indeed. Let's start the slide show. Discussion will follow. Hand me a beer. |

| #4 I watched EXTRA's coverage of this event last night, as much as I could tolerate anyway. They had pictures of Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinham, Hillary Clinton and some other old bag drinking champagne while posing. Gag me with a spoon, that's when I left the room. |

| #3 ..thus the slut walks. Who's playing what game on who? Watch the power of the matriarchy define and demand submission. Or as posted at Instyblog - “I like how we NOW need to be prudes because the media/entertainment/political class are such depraved jackasses incapable of self-control.” |

| #2 I've got mixed feelings about this whole topic. HW, BC, etc. are disgusting slime balls no doubt and deserve whatever comes on them from it. However, 2 questions remain... If attractive young women dress and act like sluts 1) What do they expect to happen? 2) What should any attracted male do that is appropriate? As my mother used to say "If you put it on display in the shop window, don't be insulted if someone asks the price." |

| #1 Call the POLICE and file charges when it happens. Don't wait until years later when your scripting agents no longer call. Whoring has a shelf-life. |
