Main problem is punishment fits the crime especially due to how traumatic an event is changes per person. People on internet seem to treat anything from unwanted ass grab to full blown rape as the same. Plus context of sittuation eg were they already at it and changed mind. Missread situation etc.

As a heterosexual male thats had an unexpected and unwanted dick slapped in my face I didn't find the experience traumatic at all. That doesn't mean its not a big deal to others though.

I would have performed circumcision myself. If already, I would have performed castration. LET THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME. Actually. I would have just haymaker'ed the son of a bitch.

Were you drunk or some shit? How?? Stating something like that only leaves me with questions. On another note, I'm glad you took that shit in stride. ...Did you haymaker that fucker, though? :p

Most likely pretty much everyone in the entertainment business has done some sort of sexual assault. I am sure there are some innocents out there, but when you have money power and fame you start to get used to getting what you want.

This can range anywhere from grabbing a butt/boob to outright rape but I don't doubt that the last century of Hollywood and the music business is full of it.

Dudes are horny, we like to get it on. When you add in being a rich celebrity that is never told no and gets whatever they want well its a recipe for disaster. Not to mention it seems that the authorties will easily look the other way when it comes to famous rich people and then you start to feel invincible.

What man come on. Not everyone is assaulting everyone why even think that. It is possible to recognize when you are about to cross that line. Thinking like that is part of the problem of people automatically believing stuff like this with no proof

Haha no I work in mental health. With mainly autistic clients of various mental capability. Add a touch of abusive background. All depends on the situation like I said. I get mostly verbally abused as a support worker but can also be physical.
I expect this type of thing as it's just part of my job. Also there is a difference between intent. In this case sexual but in a lot could just be low mental age and thinking funny. Wasn't really his fault it's just him liking me and acting on his impulses. Product of upbringing and not knowing any better.
That sort of behaviour in clients like this at first made me angry but once you get to know them better you can see how each person's past played a huge roll on where they are.
Quite often out of their control like in institutions.
Now such things make me feel sorry for them and sad. It's a major sign of what terrible things they have had to go through.

Rich people who live above the rules, get everything they want and wield tons of power have no idea where the line is for real normal folk IMO.

You have access to everything you want and women generally throw themselves at you. The one time someone says no you think people like that are just going to be like ok no problem? With all the stories coming out it seems like most in Hollywood don't take no for an answer.

Just imagine unlimited money, parties all the time, and groupie women wherever you go and tell me that your sense of where the line is wouldn't be blurred?

I don't automatically assume guilty before innocent but I am not naive enough to believe that most of these people aren't involved in some form of debauchry. And I bet many times its consensual, but the times it isn't for these people they probably don't understand the difference.

I think Howard was referring to Fox being secretly gay.

You mean to tell me Tom Cruise who I thought was gay and Jamie Foxx who I thought was gay married the same woman. Well we technically don't know if Jamie Foxx is married to Katie Holmes. Now if she divorces Jamie Foxx and gets with Kenny Chesney, something is up.

But you should know/remember where the line is if you didn't start out rich though. But I do think that lots of "yes" over a long period of time can make you easily ignore "no" when you hear it.

At this point I'm starting to wonder if a lot of this stuff is even true. All this So and So did this more than a decade ago stuff. It's also becoming a Guilty until proven innocent case too. You accuse somebody, they get blacklisted.

I want to know what the hell the women in this industry is doing because so far all I'm hearing is supposedly what men are doing.

Also, a lot of the women coming forth give little reason to why NOW they want to say something.

Sadly that's the state of affairs.

There is a war brewing. While I feel for truly oppressed women. The ones that play these sex and children support games, men's patience is wearing thin.

You don't have to allow "these" type of women to shape your opinion of all women. Your patience should be long for any person that's being or has been wronged.
