https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/amberjamieson/harvey-weinstein-heckled-comedian-event-women-actors “A woman comedian was booed and two attendees kicked out after they protested the appearance of disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein at an event for young performers in lower Manhattan on Wednesday night. Weinstein turned up with an entourage to watch Actor's Hour, a monthly event "dedicated to artists" at the Downtime bar in the Lower East Side.” https://twitter.com/ambercrollo/status/1187456327955734529?s=21 https://twitter.com/ambercrollo/status/1187388554101571591?s=21

While this is not a case of sexual assault, Steven Seagal (who does have accusations against), is still a dick. https://twitter.com/ingridoliver100/status/1187749113644900353?s=20 https://twitter.com/ingridoliver100/status/1187752091990794242?s=20

Does this really belong here? I know there have been cases of very young adults being basically groomed in their teens... but lady is twenty-six years old. You can find it weird and unpack the gender dynamics of it, but at the end of the day, it's just two adults getting married.

Sans even a shred of indication to the contrary she's an adult exercising her informed free will. You may think it's icky, and I may think it's icky. But it has no place in a thread about rapists. Posting it here is projecting personal morality onto two apparently happy adults and saying they should be ashamed, and shamed, because you personally have an issue with their private relationship. That is creepy and can gently caress right off.

confuscius disapproved of such relationships, except in the case of being without a male heir with the genders reversed, he was extremely suspicious and generally disapproving and yet, the i ching, on which he commented on, considered the former more auspicious only in that it could produce offspring, with no harm intrinsicly present in either scenario Hodgepodge fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Oct 26, 2019 |

There's a lot of jokes out there about Leonardo DiCaprio, who has basically never dated a woman older than the age of 25. I definitely think the overvaluing of youthful women is part of the culture of Hollywood that deserves to be examined. Not saying anything about that particular relationship just posted, but it does exist in a particular context.

What does a 60 year old man get out of marrying a 26 year old woman? At the end of the day Dennis Quaid could probably end up with any of thousands of breathtakingly gorgeous women in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. Have seen Carmen Electra or Heather Locklear lately? It absolutely could be about more than just having a deeply unbalanced power dynamic in the relationship where the older man is in charge, but if not that, why? Like Ok, sure a 26 year getting swept off her feet by a famous and rich movie star is extremely Hollywood, but I’m kind of surprised that in a thread that discusses sexual dynamics and power dynamics so readily that we can’t have a discussion about what this relationship represents? What does a man his age even have to talk to with a 26 year old? What perspectives and axis are they bonding over? On its face it just seems somewhat transactional. Full disclosure, I’m dating a 26 year old, but I’m 31, and the gaps in our interests and youth culture seems pretty massive to me. She’s dated men in their 40’s and 50’s before, rich doctors and business executives, and they basically always break it off when it stops being about just having sex and going to dinner and buying her stuff. I don’t think Dennis Quaid raped his new wife, I’m not accusing him of sexual assault, but if the “Culture of Hollywood” such as it exists, can foster this relationship or Leanoardo’s revolving door, aren’t those just tiny normalizations of misogyny and power imbalances that lay the groundwork for weinsteins to go unchecked and unpunished? Nobody speaking up, or calling it out, or I dunno maybe interviewing the new Mrs. Quaid like “how’d you guys meet, what are your interests, what do you have in common?” that sort of stuff. Also, as an aside, 26 is not the staggering paragon of maturity some people seem to be proposing and someone being a consenting adult doesn’t mean that she’s automatically making healthy decisions. I think this also contributes. It’s not a sexual assault or an actor and a child, she’s a grown woman and can make her own decisions, as though grown women can’t be victimized or groomed or whatever.

Would you be happier if she wore the age difference on her dress in scarlet numerals? Thinking they should have to justify themselves to you, by passing some sort of relationship interrogation is incredibly hosed up. You have absolutely no right to know anything about their relationship and they absolutely do not and should not be beholden to judgemental morality policing weirdos on the internet to explain themselves.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:Would you be happier if she wore the age difference on her dress in scarlet numerals? drat, Joe. How big is the age gap with the woman you’re dating? Or is she not born yet? Bust’s post was very articulate and you’re coming at him with ad hominem and strawman arguments. He’s right to call it a very weird power dynamic. People critique when a 40yo woman gets married to an 80yo rich guy. In that case, they’re blaming the woman and calling her a gold digger. So, can’t we point the lens at a relationship where the dynamic is switched but maybe similar? I’m not even accusing them of being like a Connor Roy where it’s strictly transactional. I’m just saying something like this should make people pause and say “hey, what’s the deal with you two?” No one is asking for their sex tape or that they get matching tattoos. At the end of the day, we’ll see how long it lasts and if it disintegrates, what the details are.
