It’s the job of Police to do actual police and law enforcement work. But it’s the responsibility of people, organizations, companies to foster and promote internal cultures that are not hostile, much less dangerous, to its constituents. This includes working against behaviors that demonize the...

What does Hollywood's reverence for child rapist Roman Polanski tell us? | Film | The Guardian

I read her essay this evening. It was unexpected. It was beautiful in its honesty, the power of her friendships was moving. And I learned I hadn’t really understood how monstrous Weinstein was.

To Robert's point, maybe I misconstrued your question and overreacted to it. But here agin, with your leading and implicit questions, I can only make guesses you're asking about. Can you state plainly what you think the relevance of the parenting is to Kevin Spacey sexually assaulting the young...

However clumsily, I was only trying to make the point that Disney (to my limited knowledge) has only suppressed films that have content that they feel would reflect poorly on their carefully cultivated brand amidst current social standards.
