Hollywood: Sexual assault whack-a-mole

[Day]

Idk the laws around it all but I always thought those on the sex offender registry had to tell their neighbors and I always assumed their employer? Very possible I am wrong on that.

[Salodin]

They have to tell their neighbors for sure, idk what the radius is though. The convicted of a felon question comes up in every application, so that'll get found out there too.

Also, dont let him work near women? Idk if that's a great remedy or expectation lol

This is pendantic. Rape is a complex issue in the sense that there are a lot of reasons why some do it. Avoiding that entire conversation, if a dude raped women, deciding to employ him is not hard. You either can or you can't because you either have women working for you or you don't. Obviously in that situation the criminal is severely limited and that's fine. If your warehouse is full of dudes only then there's nothing stopping you from employing him. Though equally deplorable, there should also be a clear line between statutory rape and sexual assault (aggravated or otherwise).
There is also the discussion to be had about the criminal understanding and regretting their actions, that gets more complex, but that's also not the discussion I'm having.

Make no mistake I personally don't want anything to do with the dude, but if I had to work with him, I'd do my fucking job and let him live his life.

"I don't like this person. I don't support what they did. I had a job and I did my job." Gee that's really hard.

But your career doesn't depend on your image with the general public. Hers does.

I get what you're saying but regardless, professionalism isn't hard. You CAN work with him and cover your ass. You can also refuse to work with him prior, but if the shits already done, just fucking let it go.

I don't disagree that most of this is weeded out during hiring. But that just means we turn these people into pariahs and don't hire them for the vast majority of jobs. Doesn't seem to be working as intended...or maybe it is? lol

He resigned when a new report came out today with six additional women accusing him of sexual harassment.

You know what they say! You either retire a hero or live long enough that changing social norms around harrassment force you out.

I wouldn't call it changing social norms as much as I would call it victims finally calling out shitty actions publicly.

them being able to do that is the changing social norm


(Point is that if he had retired at the same time as his contemporaries, he probably wouldn't be getting publicly #metoo'd at the moment and most people would still remember him fondly. To some extent, the movement has prioritized people who are still active workplace threats.)

What I hear Bryth saying is to make sure I never get famous enough for people to care about my workplace harassment.

[archibaldcrane]

Now instead of remembering him fondly, they remember him fondle-y amirite

Well, many had been calling it out (ex. the Coreys).

The social norm change is that we’re (especially Hollywood) finally listening and doing something about it. Which has lead others to feel like speaking out is worth it.

Fair.

[Vandalhart]

People should be able to come forward and be taken seriously. Alternatively, the person allegations are being levied at should not be strung up and left to dry.

The victim of the actor's sex crime speaks out:

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...12-story.html#

...I was not able to speak for myself when I was 14. The consequences of this abuse are profound and permanent for some. When the abuse takes place with a child, it is even harder to overcome. You lose trust in everyone around you, and mainly yourself. Your abuse does not define you. With support from others and strength from within, you can overcome the label of victim and reclaim your identity.

Support can come in many forms. Sometimes all it takes is one person speaking up for you, acknowledging your worth as a human being. I am extremely fortunate to have a Father and Mother that love me unconditionally. My Father has supported me in my healing and growth in ways I cannot thank him enough for.

I am also eternally grateful for Olivia Munn’s action. She spoke up for me. She took a stance for me. In turn she stood for all who have suffered like I have. To be acknowledged by a stranger, on a public platform about this issue is incredibly empowering. The positive feedback from social media towards Olivia Munn is uplifting and feels incredibly supportive for me personally...
