Who said it was OK for the president to do it?

I think the Ok is based on the fact that Trump was elected President.

Bingo

Fictional president Spacey held to a higher standard than actual president Trump.

Jesus wept.

Shocked that sexual harassment happened on the set of Entourage.

This is absurd. She called him out ON-SET, he faced it head-on (with no grace or tact, according to her story), and his behavior changed. THIS story in particular is a witch hunt.

yeah - and 17 doesn't really count ... and anything in the category of butt slap or vulgar joke pre-1990 just doesn't count either

sorry, toots

go walk it off

trag at it again. Jesus Christ.

Define irony: "Playboy pulls plug on Brett Ratner-directed Hugh Hefner biopic following sexual abuse allegations" against Ratner.

The one trag was commenting on. Where in the article it says:

"So I told him that I didn't appreciate his wandering hands or his comments. He apologized and said he would stop...

After that he was so nice to me I was shocked."

That um... That's not what I was taking issue with. I thought that was obvious.

I hate the mob outing of a lot of these complaints. On Twitter nothing needs verification and you can destroy someone's reputation.

I can't...

Absolutely agree. Guilty and convicted just on a word. It’s frightening.

It's a difficult issue. If a woman cannot feel safe and supported enough to stand up and name the person she said assaulted her, how will the society-level situation change? Conversely, like you said, why should this charge be the exception to the "innocent until proven guilty" mantra the modern criminal justice system is based on?

I kinda love She & Him's version where they switch the male and female parts of that song. It was a fascinating way to turn it on its head and reexamine the narrative. I love how everyone thought it was so sweet and funny and charming when the woman sang those creepy lines. Super interesting cultural experiment.
