Are u actually trying to argue tht there is no evidence that H Weinstein was a predator? I'm struggling to see what you're trying to achieve

You've missed several steps but I'm willing to be convinced.I currently think not trivialising sexual harassment is better for victims of it
-
Here's the problem, sexual harassment is a very grey area. How much trivializing of sexual harassment do u think actually occurs?
-
A lot! It's become a regular part of feminism. An unwanted compliment, invitation, rude joke all get called sexual harassment.
-
@lizlozC the word here is harassment, not assault
-
OK, well still be charitable about that. It becomes harassment if you say sexual comments directed at you are unwanted and it doesn't stop.
-
This is why language is so important. Being flippant when making accusations is destructive. I do think feminism needs more precision.

also i think we have to be careful what we call "normal interaction" in a patriarchal society.
-
Yes, OK, but I'm assuming we're talking abt the US and UK here.
-
Yes. I grew up in London, we can't pretend Theresa May and Trump hold the same values for women
-
But neither the US nor the UK is a patriarchy. You have a sexist president & should fix that as soon as possible. Doesn't make a patriarchy
-
We have a lot more than a sexist president.
-
But not a patriarchy.
-
But with very strong elements of it.
-
No. You literally do not have to do what men say. You literally can do everything men can. This is not a patriarchy.
