The Sex Abuse Scandals
I have a problem with the Weinstein and other “sex scandals” that are the topic of the popular media.
A caveat here: If any minors were involved people need to be burned at the stake. No excuse for the abuse of children.
So, let’s talk about the adults.
I find it ironic that the “feminists” would complain about this. Harping on the idea that women are mere “victims” in this debacle is bizarre at best. These women choose to trade sex for fame and success. It’s not a moral decision that I’d like to believe that I would make, but it’s a decision that they made.
I’m certain that over the years, those that wanted to be popular in the movie business begged for information on the latest parties that these folks hosted, hoping that they would become the newest stars.
Weinstein’s wife is leaving him, claiming indignation and disgust. Of course this “leaving him” has no connection to her net worth of $20 million, all due to her Marchesa fashion line (jewelry and gowns) that grew due to actresses wanting to be in Weinsteins favor.
I don’t have any issue with anyone “trading” sexual favors in order to get ahead. Life’s tough and the movie industry, just like professional sports is incredibly difficult to get into. There are tons of stories out there about the beauty queens from small towns who go to Hollywood to become stars and fail. What are stars selling besides good looks and sex appeal?
I do have a problem with all of these people suddenly claiming victimhood. They were and are adults. They chose to do these things in order to achieve some goal that they wanted. At the end of the day, they aren’t victims. They are expensive prostitutes.
And I don’t mean that in a judgmental way. There are many who will defend them claiming that they had no other choice. Maybe they didn’t if they wanted to be stars. But of course no one has a right to be a star, so they probably did have other choices.
The funny thing is that so far these are all allegations. Allegations that are probably hard to prove. Yet the vast majority of us have convicted the men and made heroes of the women. The only folks that support the notion of evil men and saintly women are the ultra left social justice warriors who hate all men. Perhaps we need to relook our outrage.
