Just once I'd like to see men, not women, be outraged at this. Why is no man offended by this victim-blaming narrative that implies they're nothing but animals that can't control their impulses?
-
Imagine this "defense" in any other situation: Banks really should take a blame for being robbed considering they have made an effort to accumulate so much money in one location.
-
Bad analogy. Banks and other companies that protect private information (ISPs, insurance companies, etc) do share the blame when things get stolen / hacked. Remember Equifax? They were rightfully called out on their subpar cybersecurity.
-
The only security women ought to need is the word "no". Women shouldn't need to lock themselves up to be safe.

She's 92, what do you expect?
-
Well, since she's lived through just about every Civil Rights Movement and Women's Rights Movement, I expect better. As should you.
-
but she's 92! jeez, my dad's 80 and has dementia. Not that I'm saying she has dementia...
-
So being 92 excuses victim blaming? Does advanced age excuse racism as well?
-
no, just I see a lot of elderly people now, and some of the shit conversations I hear all the time are I'm SURE not what they would say if they had full mental faculties.
-
This is not someone taking a mic up to an elderly person in the street. This is someone surrounded by an army of publicists and agents, and who will sign off on interview proofs before they go to press.

I'm not defending the comments

Angela Landsbury is a reflection of the mentality in Hollywood that has been present since its incarnation. It's a real wonder how many of the 'star's got away with rape/sexual harassment and how many big stars were unknown victims. A sick industry that needed exposing for years!

She was not the star - she played the hussy maid. Angela is a product of a by-gone age. My friend Marion who is 100 yrs old thinks the same. They are a dying breed. Our young girls know better & we must ensure male sexism no longer dictates to women in the future.

Thank you!

This is a weirdly common belief that doesn't seem to have anything to do with age. In reality, I think it has a lot to do with lack of empathy and being unable to relate from not having been sexually assaulted (or if they have been, they were taught to blame themselves).
