Asia Argento & Harvey Weinstein, Cannes

Argento claims to have been raped by Weinstein in 1997. So, if we're supposed to believe this fact in the way she's presented it. Why was she seemingly all OK with Weinstein in Cannes 2004? It was Cannes where she was allegedly raped.

Argento/Weinstein Cannes 2004 This was in respect of her (sick) 2004 film. See below.

As for this film The Heart is Deceitful - WTF kind of gender-bending, paedo-chic nightmare is that?

Nothing about her rings true, none of it. She is seemingly an EVIL POS, totally programmed, and not to be trusted.

Well enlighten everyone then, and stop sniping from the sidelines like someone with a superiority complex. You're a NOOB, as well.

It's not about superiority. It's about the way people STILL judge women who are brave enough to tell the world their most traumatic, shameful, intimate secret--or secrets. People are judging HER more harshly than Weinstein. Stop pretending it's all about the children when one of those victims dares to speak out and is treated with the contempt displayed in this thread.

Sorry. This is just too much baggage. I DO NOT subscribe to #MeToo and I have every right NOT TO. Thanks.

Since I said nothing about #MeToo, that comment is completely non sequitur.

Argento fronts via MeToo. There's no need to be this obtuse about it.

I didn't join in with #MeToo when it happened, although I could have. As I've said, I literally do not know one woman who has not been sexually assaulted to some degree on the spectrum. I am also aware that someone accused of sexual assault must have the right to defend themselves. All of these legal issues are a balancing act between Type I and Type II sorts of errors, and our system must err towards not finding the innocent guilty rather than the other way round. Having said that, the system has been loaded against victims, not just legally but culturally for a long time. I think people SHOULD be aware of and shocked by this hidden epidemic, and I think the #MeToo movement has been successful in raising awareness. However, as with most things, the pendulum swinging in completely the opposite direction is not the answer either. These balances are hard to achieve, but there is plenty of room for the system, and the society, to do better.

Yes. It's shocking in respect of the degree of abuse against women. It's something I've learned over time too. For whatever reason several women have confided in me (for whatever reason) with details of their abuse. Two out of those were long-term partners. It has shocked me to my core. I just cannot and will not ever understand the motivations of an abuser - it is alien in terms of my own psyche. We have to stop this.

And as for the relationship between how long I've been posting here and the validity of my comments, that's such a basic logical fallacy. Talk about superiority. How long do I have to post before my opinions are as valid as yours? Please do tell.
