(1,718 posts)This guy has been doing it for decades with many Hollywood actresses. Even worse is that the Hollywood establishment covered it up even though it was an open secret.

(58,724 posts)We have EVERY reason to respond to Weinstein.
Our party is committed to standing up for women's rights for crying out loud!

Don't paint us as the righteous ones and everyone else is not. This Weintein thing is shedding more light on the treatment of women but we don't need to claim that action as ours.
We don't own all that is good in the country.

(68,539 posts)who got caught...the idea that this has anything to do with us as Democrats is silly and just and attempt by the elected sexual harassment and champion 'pussy' grabber to change the subject. We should not allow Trump to call the tune...silly.

(68,539 posts)it..while you are at it remind the country what Trump has done. we need to legislate women's right...all the talk in the world won't stop this. Weinstein has nothing to do with us...so lets not give the GOP ammunition...I wish just once that some would think about the political repercussions instead of an ideology that we have no way to advance without winning! This is like someone I worked with who was always 'sorry'...if it rained, if a report was late etc...and everything was deemed her fault and she lost her job. We have nothing to discuss or apologize for.

(58,724 posts)We should take this opportunity to start a conversation about the fact that this awful behavior is still endemic in America and that more work needs to be done to stop it.
We should do everything we can to encourage those who have faced their own Harvey Weinstein (or Trump) to feel that they can stand up and that they will be supported for doing so.
We should be encouraging everyone who knows about a Harvey Weinstein (or Trump) to take that person to task and not let them get away with their behavior any more.
This problem is a massive one and if we don't take strong steps towards ending this culture of abuse and unaccountability then it will continue forever.
