Harvey Weinstein

[Rayvin 5223]

The woman who kicked off the whole thing against Weinstain, Asia Argento... turns out that she may allegedly be an abuser herself:

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.

Oh dear.

Bit weird on her part.

 

Although I'd have banged her for free at 17, $300k is a proper bonus

Seems he looked at her as a mother figure though...

I'm sure you have a point but I'm not seeing it.

So would a 17 year old shagging a 37 year old here be traumatised cos it's legal here?

It doesn't said he shagged her, it said she assaulted him. 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.

Sounds like he just wanted an easy lump sum, the milf hunting little shit

You would have been snorting the Mexican Viagra. "SAY HELLO TO MY LEETLE FRIEND"

Isn't that your line when you open your trench coat at the taxi rank?

I see, I forgot that it's not statutory rape when the victim is male. Ok then.

 

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.

 

Mostly though, it's interesting that she was one of the 'pigs' who was exposed.

I trust Bourdain's judgement on her. Shut up Rayvs

Not sure about terrible seeing as they are 17, I’m not applauding it and think it’s a bit dodgy but to put your mind at rest it isn’t as bad as sexual assault against a clearly unwilling person regardless of age. 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.

$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.

The fuck?

 

I'm not desperate to prove anything. 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.

You should be shot just for using "progressive values".
