What say you?

While I agree with Lansbury on many levels, she didn't accurately state the situation, and comes
across as an old lady who is finger-waving attractive women (as if attractive women should be
"blamed").

My feeling is that many women (and, men, while we're at it) pull the victim card. They seduce their
bosses, would-be bosses with the way they walk, what they wear, what they say. Many of these
women are cock-teasers, and will do anything to wreck marriages, or further their career.

I'm also irritated by the fact that there are women in power who sexually harass young men (yes, ladies,
it's the truth). But because it's men - by and large - there's a tendency now to man-bash, when women
in power are capable of unbelievable behavior.

Also, not everyone's situation is the same. Of course Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey should be criminally
investigated, but Louis CK (whom I'm not a fan of in any way shape or form) never raped anyone! He's a
pervert, no doubt, but his actions don't amount to anything other than gross (at least at this stage).

Those two women who described their unfortunate encounter with him back in a hotel in '02 are despicable. First,
these TWO women should've just walked out when Louis asked to show them his wee-wee. If not then, they
could've - and should've - walked out when he started to disrobe. But, no, they sit there and wait until he starts
jerking off. Then - because they were SO TRAUMATIZED - they wait 15 years to trash him, right after the Weinstein
thing came out. This man's career shouldn't be ruined by these two twits. Yes, he's gross, but if this is all he's
guilty of, they should've made a statement AT THE TIME, not wait all these years later. Frankly, I question their
motives.

Lastly, there's the charming Rose McGowan, who admits to being paid off for sex, but wants to play the "victim"
card, as well. Sorry, hon, if you agreed to keep it zipped for the cash, you should've shut UP.

Angela has racked up a lot of years in the business. You can be sure she speaks with more than a little experience of what the casting couch (And associated similar business) is all about.

I like that she sees hope in that it has to end now and that there are some men out there worried. I think it'll all wash over somehow and it will just be back to business before too long personally.

Looking forward to her Little Women though, should be a decent period piece for the season.

Here is the original: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2017-11-28/angela-lansbury-women-must-sometimes-take-blame-for-harassment/

Could be the author took her statements out of context. Full interview in print only. She started around 1950 and said she hasn't been harassed. Maybe she's a good creep detector.

Or maybe she's a lying sack of sh!t.
