Rayvin 5223 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) The woman who kicked off the whole thing against Weinstain, Asia Argento... turns out that she may allegedly be an abuser herself:  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/19/us/asia-argento-assault-jimmy-bennett.html  She paid off her victim to the tune of $380k for silence - a barely 17 year old musician/actor (she was 37 at the time) who she assaulted in a hotel room. Age of consent in the state is 18. He seems to have suffered lasting mental trauma from this, according to the article.  Anyway, I eagerly await the Guardian's coverage of this.  EDIT - Interview with her in the Guardian a year ago: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/19/more-pigs-will-be-revealed-asia-argento-on-life-after-accusing-weinstein-of  "More pigs will be revealed"  Oh dear.

Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Bit weird on her part.  Although I'd have banged her for free at 17, $300k is a proper bonus  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) So would a 17 year old shagging a 37 year old here be traumatised cos it's legal here? Edited August 20, 2018 by TheGingerQuiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know quite what that is meant to mean. But if the 17 year old in question had been coerced or forced, then I guess so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok then. Â Either way, if the victim was female we'd be calling this out as terrible I expect. On the basis that girls can't enjoy sex when they're 17 and boys can, I guess. Progressive thinking right there. Â Mostly though, it's interesting that she was one of the 'pigs' who was exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you’re desperate to prove women are just as bad as men when it comes to sexual assault. And that men have every right to be dominant yada yada genetics or some other bollocks yada yada.

Monkeys Fist 42449 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 $380,000 is a weird payoff, mind. You’d expect to be dealing in increments of $50k, would you not? Was the $20k taken off because he jizzed on her hair or something?  Also, whatever your view on this, it shouldn’t deflect any attention whatsoever from the fact Weinstein is a vile cunt of the worst kind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers are fucking clearly stacked against men on this.  I'm just pointing out that she's a hypocrite and a "pig". I also do feel that in a society where gender roles are being eliminated by progressive values, that young men should be considered as vulnerable as young women, at least in the eyes of the people pushing that line of thought.  You really have the wrong idea about me mate. It's kind of annoying tbh. My issue is with narratives and bullshit. I will happily fight the corner of any group with the statistical backing of data and research to support the underlying point about the issue.  I posted this because it's a kick in the balls for a prevailing narrative, not because i feel like it makes the world an equal place as far as sexual assaults go.  Because I'm not wedded to any particular line of ideological nonsense, i feel relatively free to do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
