Hollywood predator Harvey Weinstein should be locked up, says Sharon Stone, but she has warned against punishing all men accused of sexual misbehaviour in the same way.
Sharon's Rule 5 post.In a frank interview with The Mail on Sunday’s Event magazine today, the actress says: ‘In every crime there are misdemeanours and felonies, and I think if someone’s committed a misdemeanour they can’t be treated like they’ve committed a felony. You can’t charge someone for murder when they’ve got a parking ticket.’ Her comments echo those of Matt Damon, who was criticised by #MeToo campaigners for saying there is a ‘difference between patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation’.
Ms Stone – famous for her sexually charged scenes in the 1992 movie Basic Instinct – condemns Weinstein, saying: ‘I hope he goes to jail,’ adding that the producer, who has been accused of rape, is ‘coarse and mean and violent and abusive’. She adds: ‘He thinks he’s a big martyr but he’s a pisher [a nobody]’. In a forthright assertion of how women should deal with predatory men, Ms Stone says: ‘We have two legs. You can leave a room. You can say “stop it”. You have an opportunity not to participate.’Common sense from a Hollywood actress. Has anyone checked the temperature in Hell recently?
Wombat-socho has "Rule 5 Sunday: Eagles With Elbows" ready and waiting.
she is exactly correct. if a man asks a woman for sex one time and is refused and never bothers her again, that is not harassement. if a man says something suggestive to a woman and she doesn't like it she should tell him. there is such a thing as biology. every man will hit on most women. women will use sex to get what they want. laws will not change that.
ReplyDeleteI agree. if I see an attractive woman at work and tell her, that is not harassement. that is biology. even if I am her superior at work. unless it is a continuing thing it is not harassment.
