is that to mean, the physical act, or of even putting forth that image for yourself, in some way? does an ass shot in a movie, or cleavage, not have a place?

a consensual relationship is not like making someone feel like garbage about their body. nor is making someone feel like garbage about their body like raping them.Foo wrote:Like a consensual relationship?zombie wrote:and it shouldn't be lumped in. that is something separate.Foo wrote:I can't recall the individual making the allegation offhand, but one of the women stated Weinstein told her if she lost some weight she could be on a show he was producing about runway models.

And this is lumped in with rape allegations as part of the case being made to the public...
Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
No shit. No one is condoning rape. We ALL agree with that. My point is that women using their sex appeal to get favors and then enter into murky sex filled relationships hurt rape victims when they jump on the boat.zombie wrote:that's fair. i don't agree, nor do i agree that making that kind of living means that you forfeit the right to say no, if someone tries to force their self onto you.Foo wrote:The physical act.zombie wrote:'Foo wrote: I don't believe that sex should have a place in business.

I care about people. I care about a person who is violently raped a whole lot more than I care about a prostitue having non-violent sex with her John. Doesn't mean I endorse either.
Argento is more of a prostitute by her own description. Is she a victim? Sure. Is Weinstein a victim? Possibly.
Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
nothing about it was non-consensual.

Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
if you have a certain type in mind for a role, find that type. that seems pretty simple. why force another type to be the type you're looking for? weird.Foo wrote:nothing about it was non-consensual.

but it should not be included with the rape allegations. it is something different. i said that just a couple posts before. but i can repeat myself, if need be.
Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
can a prostitute be raped or sexually harassed? can an actress who banks on a sexy image be raped or sexually harassed? should they not come forward, because it may "hurt rape victims" ?Foo wrote:

argento does seem like she could be opportunistic in this. doesn't change how i view weinstein though.

Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
they chose to do that, to better fit the role after they signed, or that was my understanding of it. if they were asked directly to change themselves in order to get the role, that is a little weird, yeah. and no, i don't think that about women. but you know that.Foo wrote:

I don't need forgiveness .. Trump is a piece of shit
had lied every single day since his Master of shitness starting shitting in the Oval Office.. before that he just shit on family business partners and well everyone
I predicted he would throw every member of his team under the bus when the shit hit the fan including his family

You have to do some incredible mental gymnastics to not see Trump as a total piece of shit.
Not removing until John Elway is fired.

I'll take the tax cuts and fewer illegal criminals here, no matter if the guy doing it has a good personality or not. Obama was probably neato, but he decided to cripple our country with his healthcare disaster. My priority is our well-being, not who is Mr. Congeniality.

I also think the reason Trump is orange is because he had a Russian hooker pee on him. I am betting she was from Chernobyl
