Why are these celebrities highjacking these sexual harrasment movements? They're the people that's been covering it up for years.

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.

I'm not Kate Middleton's biggest fan but this is clearly an overreaction.

Imo this MeToo movement should only be about sexual harassment claims, I don't get why it is getting twisted into something that it shouldn't be about which is a women's only club? I mean didn't the actor who played Tom from Parks & Recreation get mentioned on one of these claims just because he didn't give out good sex to the woman? It just feels like it's getting out of hand in my view and is changing to something that it wasn't even supposed to be about considering men and women have been sexually harassed in these claims.

The only people who would be "outraged" at this would be a small band of cat-collecting weirdos, and they get outraged at everything, so they can be ignored and not used as a consensus.

The strongest adverse reaction a normal/non-SJW person would have is "thanks for the support mate!" and then forget ten seconds later.

Apparently people actually were outraged she didn’t show her support lol ffs

Some of the comments I’ve read on twitter, including death threats, make me chuckle. Imagine wanting liberation and justice then inflicting stuff on others for not joining ur cult

And this metoo movement doesn’t even really make sense. Rape isn’t being unnoticed it’s just incredibly hard to prove we can’t just go around believing everyone who screams rape as a lot of people cry wolf

I think MeToo is meant to mostly be about "institutionalised" sexual harassment, such as only casting someone in a movie in exchange for sex, and people using their power to hide their misdeeds. It just gets drowned out by people including things like people saying words in the street, or dancing too close in a nightclub.

I don't like the #me too campaign, any Tom dick and Harry can retweet that , and like you say many are falsely accusing people or just jumping on the bandwagon because that one time they felt they were "harassed" . Hardly the same as sexual abuse victims who have been traumatised .

..I thought the Timesup movement was solidarity specifically within the entertainment business, which was why the wearing of black for those in the industry, which obviously was most people attending but not applying to Kate../..the Royal family..?...if she did wear a black ribbon around her dress specifically in support of, then that was something she didn’t have to do so credit to her, I think....that she found a way to ‘include herself’ in showing support and recognising the black dress code which the celebrities had decided on...

Metoo is no longer about the entertainment industry if you looked at anything regarding this you’d know this by now.

...they may be the same tree but they’re slightly different branches of.....with Timesup being specifically about sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry is how I’ve understood it anyway...one is a ‘general’ and the other more specific focused...

I don't see the #Metoo movement being very vocal about what's been happening in Telford.

I suspect these working-class girls are the wrong kind of victims, and the abusers are the wrong kind of perpetrators.

What about the millions of other incidents across the world? Does she need to be a voice for them all too or just the ones you feel she should be?

What does a movement focused on sexual abuses in Hollywood got to do with something that happened in Telford?

I did say that they are the wrong kind of victims of sexual abuse.

That's like asking why a charity aimed at the elderly in this country isn't focussed on a homeless old lady in Australia.
