Bill O'Reilly becoming a Non-Factor

[rickyb]

I think we're seeing it's not just Fox. There's creeps everywhere in every industry. I don't get it, a man with any amount of power and success should be able to get women without being a creep and using force or coercion.

a coworker theorized they want a certain anchor or a certain actress. theyre too picky

$32 million for one victim. Fox knew about that settlement before signing his new deal. Why are dudes so rapey? Why do so many institutions protect them?

Why do so many women wait 5-10-15 years to say something?

Why do we have a culture where they feel they need to keep it a secret?

That's news to me. Maybe 20+ years ago it was that way but women have been "freed" for quite some time now and haven't they been afraid to speak their piece as far as I can tell. Are the women in your life afraid to speak?

Glad I could help you.

If I raped you, would you tell?

This woman said something right away. That's why Bill had to pay her $32 mil. There's many reasons why victims stay silent, shame, fear of repercussions like losing their job, unsure what crosses the line between inappropriate and harassment. Your post indicates an attitude of victim blaming and is part of the problem.

 

[Sportello]

Funny how the racists here are also misogynists.

If I raped you, would you tell?

The very least of your problems would be how you managed in prison---more than likely though you would be dead.

Because there's possible fame and fortune to be had if they keep their mouths shut. A lot easier to go public when your financial situation is solid.

So what you're saying is that if woman is being sexually harassed or assaulted or raped it shouldn't be a big deal for her to report it but if you were being sexually assaulted it's a big enough deal for you to kill?

Then when I'm dead, you're cool with taking the stand and explaining how I humiliated you, made you bleed from your butt and repeatedly mistreated you in every conceivable way?

That's why victims stay quiet.

But you would be dead so I would have the last laugh.

The other thing is that Weinstein was a huge supporter of the Democrat power structure and Hollywood is mostly liberal. Obama is over, Hillary is out, and there are a lot of women who've suffered in silence for decades. The dam broke.

I doubt you would be "big" enough to make anyone bleed.

You'd laugh on the witness stand? I think not.

Yes van. Weinstein is a piece of crap. Do you think that somehow exonerates Oreilly?

I would be rolling on the floor

Nope, was telling my wife this morning how I enjoyed watching O'Reilly's show for many years and never imagined he could do such things. Weinstein however apparently raped some women. There's scummy, and then there's scum. Both are paying for their actions.

So why bring up Weinstein in an Oreilly thread?

Maybe you could become a rape counselor and help victims see how funny it is.
