This. I don't like Blake Lively as an actress or a public person -- I have very little interest in her and agree she seems like a "mean girl" in the way she's treated people in the past. But you can be an annoying or unpleasant person and still be sexually harassed. And the attacks on her here are incredibly misogynistic -- attacking her (alleged) sexual history, her looks, her age. Calling her stupid but at the same time alleging that she's a manipulative mastermind who took this role with the plan of suing for sexual harassment all along. Calling her crazy, diagnosing her with a personality disorder, etc. It's so over the top. I think a lot of people just enjoy the opportunity to get their pitchforks out for a woman. Especially a woman who is beautiful and wealthy. For some reason it just feels good to people to unload all their anger at the world onto a woman like this. |
no he doesn’t. That’s probably one of the dumbest allegations in the complaint and the one that really tipped me towards believing she exaggerated or fabricated everything. |
To PP, which women are torn to shreds? Who? Women who lie and manipulate? Fine, we can also start a thread on similar men, go ahead. |
Remunerative is somewhat redundant of the word employment |
You and PP truly need to grow up. The tide turned once people read the same texts and descriptions of conditions on set in Baldoni’s complaint. It is eminently reasonable to conclude that Lively’s initial claims were false. There are no pitchforks, just women who are not going to be tutted at by you and PP. |
Not very feminist to not understand that labor is quite often unpaid. Silvia Federici would be disappointed in you. |
See guys, the call is comign from inside the house! |
You could not be more wrong but good job trying to silence contrary viewpoints by claiming they all represent the worst extreme. I started out thinking Lively had a strong case until the other side started coming out and it started to fall apart for her. |
Just watch the interview with the Norwegian journalist a few times. Does she strike you as a kind, trustworthy, amenable individual? Sure, a rotten person like her could have been SH, but she wasn’t. |
It's weird that if you had a friend who was an actor looking for work, you would choose the role with no lines and where he will be barely noticed in the scene, but which will require him to spend hours sitting between Blake Lively's legs while they are up in stirrups. That's just weird. It's an odd choice. |
You didn't say labor, you said EMPLOYMENT |
Dog whistles, coded language, sexism oh my! |
Yes. PPs act like having the ability to read makes other women into Andrew Tates. Rather tiresome and argumentative. |
I don't think it's weird at all. |
Well in that situation the only person who's opinion on whether or not its weird that MATTERS is the person who will be naked with said dude's head between her legs. And it sounds like her wishes were not honored based on the final cut. |
