Celebrity Sexual Harassment Charge Sheet

[devogue]

Have you seen the list of sexual impropriety aimed at UK MPs?

Things like "affair with female researcher"...

Lock them up!

[Rum]

Michael Fallon (high up minister for UK defense and shit) resignes as his conduct 'may have fallen below standards'.

Like flies now - thick and fast.

I was harassed when I was a handsome 19 year old Art student by my college male tutor. I actually took him up on it - one of only two non-hetero encounters in my life. I did it out of curiosity (it was the first) and I don't regret it - and I didn't get much out of it.

I certainly didn't get PTSD as a result. It may have affected my degree mark though.

Really? And Mrs May gave him her full support only yesterday. Well I guess they do have a code of conduct they're supposed to abided by. I read that Mrs May is going to sort this out tomorrow in a big pow-wow with all the party leaders, and whoever is available for the LibDems - Ming has a long standing appointment with the chiropodists, and those are more valuable than rubies when you get to his age.

You should know by now that 'full support' means you are shortly for the chop!

They can't stop being naughty, these Tories...

[Brian Peacock]

An anonymised spreadsheet is circulating which apparently outlines the types and frequency of sexual harassment reports/incidents within the Tory party....

[pErvinalia]

Yebbut, Labour have sexual assualt scandals too. And Corbyn wears a cardigan.

[Brian Peacock]

That's covered in the video, but the main allegation is that Mrs May has had regular briefings about allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct from party members, including MPs and sitting Cabinet ministers, and has done nothing about it - until things started to go public of course.

[pErvinalia]

Yebbut what has Labour done about it?

[Brian Peacock]

You're so... irrepressible.



I picked that one because it has such cheery background music.

[Animavore]

Gotta love The Sun.

[Brian Peacock]

Yeah, keeps the Tory minister off the front page too.

[Forty Two]

Animavore, I thought you weren't interested in the thread about Dustin Hoffman?

[Forty Two]

All these revelations - I don't even need to add to the list - more against Kevin Spacey -- other actors involved - it's really starting to make me wonder if I underestimate the awfulness of people in the world. I mean, I genuine assume that people that would act like Weinstein or Kevin Spacey are few and far between - sick fucks. Maybe my libido just isn't at a level like this. I mean - I wouldn't even want to do the things these asshats do, even if I thought I could get away with it.

[Strontium Dog]

I just find it so difficult to understand. People like this - movie stars, powerful execs - must be drowning in the proverbial as it is, without needing to force themselves on anyone. It must be about the power trip, or boredom, or something banal like that.
