Have you ever had to be super nice to a boss, teacher, cop, coach or lecturer you hated?
Not answering for Lambie, and only relevant for boss and teacher (no issues with the others). But I can honestly say not once have I ever had to be super nice to someone I despised or someone who I would personally benefit from. This is probably the reason why I have a low paying job, but I would never ever go against my morals and what is right. Even if that means lack of success or losing my job.
I don't know the case though so not saying the women did anything wrong. Just wanted to answer that question because I think a lack of people with my beliefs is the cause of so much grief that we see today.
The truth even if the heavens fall.
My sense is that, whether you are a man or a woman, to get ahead in Hollywood you have to be super nice to a lot of assholes.
In spirit I dont disagree, but for the sake of rape accusations its important to note a few things.
I learned a lot from reading about this case in particular. At first it seemed like another Cosby slam dunk open and shut case but then I started seeing all the patterns of post rape allegation sexual relationships and friendships.
I became aware through a bit of research that prosecutors almost never prosecuted cases where a woman dates or is friends with a guy and down the road accuses them of one instance of rape with no corroborating evidence.
Basically if its a he said she said issue between two people who were long time friends or lovers with no witnesses, no evidence of violent struggle, and a large delay in the reporting the crime then as a rule of thumb prosecutors decline to pursue such allegations.
Anyone who has had a crazy ex is probably thankful this is the case for the normal guy.
This makes a lot of sense bc it really opens a pandoras box. If your ex gf accuses you of rape two years later after you win the lottery and your friends, family, emails, and texts all demonstrate a loving relationship but you still get prosecuted just based on her word then no man is safe from a rape charge.
In Harvey's case the public hate for the guy was so big they went ahead and prosecuted a case that they almost never would have in normal circumstances. Harvey is clearly an ass and deserves a lot of bad things in life, but this is a dangerous precedent for men in general so Im not a fan of him getting time based on those flimsy af accusations. Being forced into bankruptcy via civil suits and becoming a social outcast would have been a more fair outcome imo.
As hodlers most of us are currently wealthy or will become wealthy in the next decade. A precedent like this makes everyone with a whole Bitcoin or more a target. Thankfully I think prosecutors will go back to the old way of doing things now that the Harvey episode is over and you should be ok as long as you dont become a front page headline and the poster boy for a feminist movement.
