I must admit I haven't been all that interested in the whole Weinstein scandal and haven't followed it all that closely... but the actresses whose stories have gotten a lot of coverage seem to be claiming merely that he asked them to do something sexual, which they refused. And somehow they still went on to become famous actresses with great careers...
Perhaps you should familiarize yourself somewhat with the nature of the claims before commenting then.
Just like the Dems leave Trump's kids out of it? Oh, wait, that double standard thing.

Not sex.
Article: Category: | Herald Sun I knew it involved sexual harassment which is not sexual molestation or rape. I also just read that he "INVITED" the women and they "ACCEPTED" his invitation.
Come on, as a female, I would know better than do that when I was very young, decades ago. Of course, if I wanted to prostitute myself for my career, I guess I would have accepted. I knew better than to go to a man's hotel room or even his home, and if I, the naive person I was about sexual things could figure it out, so could they. Didn't anyone else's parents teach them about such things? They prostitute themselves for parts. I am sure among their "community" they were aware of what was happening and what was expected to make it in the field. I just cannot believe these women were that clueless.

I hadn't either. I just linked in the article above after checking out exactly what was supposed to have happened. He asked and they say they refused, frankly, if I didn't mind lying, I would probably say that I didn't do those things either.
It is unfortunate that sexual harassment is being confused and called molestation and rape. This has been a real boom for those actresses to get their names in the news, especially since they are all "aging out" of the business.
Anyone that doesn't report the behavior enables it, they should all be ashamed that they did not report until it became "fashionable" to do so.

Some of his kids are involved with the running of this country. They don't get a free pass.
Barron does. Leave that little dude alone.

TDS causes the afflicted to try desperately to bring trump into every possible conversation. they should be charging him rent to live in their heads 24/7
I don't feel too badly about a family that has lived a life of luxury off the despicable behavior of their husband/father. Grew up with silver spoons in their mouths, privy to a life of privilege and luxury many of us can only dream about. I'm sure they knew what was happening.
There are plenty of more families I feel sorry for in America, families that struggle to pay the bills because their parents were laid off and can't find another job, families that go hungry and become homeless because they have no money, etc. etc.
This is a super weird, super bitter, super irrelevant post.
"Imagine how Harvey Weinstein's children must be feeling now"
If you really cared about their feelings, you wouldn't have passed along their names. They are already named in the article, but lets be sure and hammer them into everyone's head.
