Our thanks to Stu for this piece in the current New Statesman. An extract:
“I’m sorry. But if I was an 18-year-old girl in Hollywood, and nothing was really working out for me, and Mr Harvey Weinstein asked me to come and watch him have a shower, I’d fucking watch him have a shower!” she says. “I’d watch him do anything as long as he didn’t touch me! There’s a lot of women who would do that. When they complain about things like that, they’re trivialising everything that those women who seriously have been abused have been through.”
Justice for Men & Boys 
I respect and appreciate Lisa’s honesty.

Aye, and some would do more than watch him take a shower (and if a director wants to risk their hard earned reputation producing possible flops because the star cast got their roles by sucking cock rather than having talent, that’s up to them; men still expect to suffer when they make a mistake). The image of modern women as saintly beings floating around above the male trolls whose job it is to keep everything running (like a good menial) would never survive contact with the kind of scrutiny men endure; I have no doubt this confessional article about female ambition will follow the statistics on female sex criminals, harassers and DV perps down the memory hole however.
I will add though, that Weinstein himself probably deserves what is happening to him (unlike so many other men who have been sacrificed to the feminist #MeToo monster). He didn’t just stick with accepting some slutty wannabe’s casting couch advances (hypocrite-in-chief Asia Argento had a years long affairs with him for example, something very strange considering how terrifying and repulsive she now says she found his advances) however, but tried to coerce women into bed by threatening their careers etc. Threats and blackmail are also the MO of a lot of female sex attackers, so I have some sympathy for his victims (whilst equally noting he has yet to be charged or convicted of any criminal offence; in his case the loss of his company and professional reputation seem justified by his own apologies however).

Is it the law now that every interview with a woman must include her opinion on sexual harrassment/metoo/times up? She’s promoting her new album how about they let her talk about that.
