Who has said that women 'spread their legs' for Weinstein movie roles and 'it's too late now to start whingeing' re MeToo.

What a complete let down.

There’s a huge difference between consent and coercion.

I immediately understood Germaine Greer's comments about women who do choose to eat the biscuit. Maybe GG herself made decisions to not use sex to advance her situation knowing that would mean loss of opportunity and income and long term security. Anyway I look forward to hearing her thoughts on the environment. Someone who has spent the decades since Silent Spring thinking probably has interesting things to say.

I agree with her.
OK if you said no at the time, but those who went for it, to get a part , shouldn't really be whinging now should they?
Germaine speaks truth.

Oh look, people who hate women are giving their opinion about what slutty sluts women are "equally free" to be.

CritEqual's posts are full of stupid contradictions that are transparant. "Women who marry wealthy men many times older, NOT THAT THERE"S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT even though I just said they're inherently gold diggers."

"one half of the corruption equation (NOTE THAT IT'S NOT A BALANCED EQUATION even though I just said women are one half of the corruption"

"those with power have a greater moral responsibility) "BUT THEN IT WOULD ONLY BE AN ETHICAL VIOLATION FOR MEN IN POWER and that's not equal"

"I'm all for 99% of the coverage being focused on the male perpetrators BUT I'LL ONLY TALK ABOUT WOMEN BEING WHORES FOR 99% OF MY POSTS THAT HARANGUE WOMEN ABOUT WOMEN'S LACK OF MORALS BEING THE REAL ROADBLOCK TO WOMEN'S RIGHTS MOVEMENT"

We see you, dude.
