Time's Up is precisely about the film industry.
So why are they preaching to us? Just lock up Weinstein and anyone else who's been party to this.

Because actors aren't law enforcers, obviously and sexual harassment and gender equality doesn't just happen in the bubble that is Hollywood.

They're not politicians either. As you say they're actors.

People watch these self patting on the back award ceromanies to celebrate film, not to be lectured that all men are sex pests, by a group of people who have known about these goings on for years, but have only spoke out about it when it's come out.

Eh? You have to be a politician to campaign for equality and not to be sexually harassed?

They haven't said all men are sex pests. In fact, several men have also come forward with their tales of rape and harassment.

Yes, it's come out, by people in the industry. The predators are in there, but so are the victims. That's the point.

They haven't done anything that has distracted from the award ceremony besides wearing black.

Oprah Wnfrey has had a platform for 30 years to out her good friends like Weinstein. Why only this year did she designate herself spokesperson?

You can trust them if you like, but I don't.

Who said Winfrey was spokesperson?

It's the people like Rose McGowan, who were actually raped, that have exposed it.

And you have evidence of Winfrey knowing he raped girls I take it?

Winfrey is the richest and most powerful person in the Hollywood scene. Do you deep down think that she was oblvious for 30 years to what was going on?

Tbf without evidence Oprah would've probably been in alot of trouble for defamation.
