I knew I had made a big mistake when I woke up and saw one of her legs leaning in the corner, straps and all. My buddies still bust my chops saying I scored with a chick because she only had one leg to stand on and couldn't hop away. Them SOBs set me up! LOL

Coyote ugly? Definition: If she was sleeping on your arm would you chew it off to escape rather than wake her up? lol

Hopefully she will stay away from those situations in the future. Police don’t prevent rape. Maybe maybe they can investigate afterwards, but that doesn’t fix it

Unless physical force is done, decide whether to lose job or acquaintance but recall that humans a sexual creatures as Marilyn Monroe once stated. I have never been one who pressures in relationships and so have had very few of them which in afterthought was best for me.

my daughter is a multiple rape victim...it has ruined her life and the attackers have never been caught...

I did child abuse investigations for the State of Wyoming for 15 years. Never did an interview behind closed doors, cassette taped every one of them. As to a limit on when it could be prosecuted, for a credible child, under 12 when it happened, no limit. Over 12, until the age of 21. And, in all the investigations I did, virtually none of them turned out to be false..........

Yep, the good old 60's. I know exactly what you are saying. Been there, done that, too.

Absolutely!

The one thing, conspicuously missing from any of this, is PROOF.

Deal with it at the time, or forget it, move on. As a female, I have been groped, and propositioned (in a Congressman's office), but I handled it myself. I did not run crying like a victim to someone else. Let's face it,some of the bimbos in Hollywood actively slept their way to the top, it was their MO. To scream abuse later, ridiculous. I only once had to call on assistance. One jerk would not back off, I could have told management. Instead, I talked to a black pal, a very large guy, and one word from him and the issue was forever resolved. We all went on working together with no further issues. It did not help that a girlfriend was engaged to the jerk and did not need an employed fiancee. You have to trust in yourself, not think like a victim, and take responsibility. You know that seeing the guy as a star, political or Hollywood type, led them into the mess, which they should have seen coming and dealt with.

A better way of conveying my intended message.

Yes, sometimes it's actually prostitution, especially the third or fourth time around. Sometimes it's all about money, power, and fame. After the money, power and fame are achieved their perceptions change and they attack. But then too it's a change in attitude and perception of everyone over the years. Remember when "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn", was taboo? If a prostitute changes her mind can it become rape? Yes there are predators out there, and I believe Harvey is one of them.

Anyone who lived through the 60s & 70s could probably be brought up on serious charges for various sexual activities we experienced while at least one party was in some way intoxicated. I know I got raped because I woke up one morning along side of a gal I didn't know and man was she ugly.

Not yet.

Someday in the future, a statute of limitation will be reasonable, but not now.

In the field of anthropology, about 3 years ago, a prominent anthropologist addressed a major conference. She did not talk about the digs she had recently been on (paleo anth.) but told about how the female grads and post grads doing field work were pressured into providing sex for their mentors as a prerequisite for good evaluations and advancement. The scalpel provided by this presentation lanced a boil of activity that went back generations. Lots of examples of this abuse subsequently came to light.

The women could not report 'within 7 years' because the system was set up to annihilate the reputations of anyone who did. It took a major change in social climate for even an established authority to make this the topic of her presentation at a conference. Had she done this a decade ago, the the character assassination we see in climate science would have destroyed her.

A similar thing is happening in Hollywood...only worse. We know that you have to bed the producer/director/lead in order for your acting abilities to even matter. Finally, this 'topic of Industry jokes' is being exposed to the light. Everyone who has been abused - and this again goes back generations - should be able to name their tormentors.

Even in less 'departmentalized' situations, women have been blamed for being victims of rape or assault - and it takes a long time for them to report it. This is getting better, now, but we still need to tackle the institutionalized variations

Give it another decade or two, preimert, then we can enact a statute of limitation and be on the side of good.

it wasnt, but I see your point. Imagine if you patted Judge Judy on the butt and she didnt like it. She would be nice, but you would apologize or feel like a creep right then and there. No lawsuit would be files or needed.

I guess by some of today's perceptions of sexual harassment I could be considered guilty of some of my behavior in the past. This is not any kind of admission of guilt, there never was any rape, no forced anything, only willing complicity. Three particular instances come to mind, but instead of being charged with some crime, all three of them married me. No, not all at the same time, although today it might be possible to change that rule also. And, I'm still sleeping with the third one. I assume it would be too late for her to press charges after some 40 years of sleeping with me.

And they, the immoral and unethical, constantly use their media power to dictate their false ideas of morality to everyone else. Hypocrites.

The starlets wanted to get the movie parts and would do (and did) anything to please weinstein. It was an implicit deal and they probably got what they wanted out of it.

Now, they want revenge even though he most likely gave them the parts and the deal was consummated.

Either file a complaint right within a few days, or move on and let it go

Pun intended?

accusations much later are just ways to damage the other person. Its not fair. Kevin Spacey's life is ruined and nothing has been proven at all at this point. Plus people are coming out of the woodwork claiming he did this and that, and its all heresay at this point.

And ANY woman, or even man for that rather in this environment. Wear a body cam I suppose would work too

Maybe the punishment should be that they give up their right NOT to have whatever it was done to them. The thought of possible forced anal sex on a male perp I think would cut down the amount of forced sex on women.

consentual sex of all types in my opinion also includes sex with the hope of getting favors, like a movie part, or political advantage. Those are "deals", not crimes.

YUP! If you want to hang out with dogs you should expect to get fleas.

Women, and even men now, are pricing themselves out of the market because of the fear of real or imagined charges of sexual harassment which can be levied like 30 years later !!! I would rather NOT hire women for this reason alone, and I would never permit myself to be in the same room alone with one for any reason without someone else there to witness things, or have a video recording of it.

There is physical harrassment, such as rape or attack. Then there is cat calling, patting on the backside, etc. These things can be easily rebuffed by a few choice words which make the perp stop or feel like a creep. I dont think there should be any penalty for approaching others and asking in one way or another to have sex.
