Harvey Weinstein Sentenced to 23 Years in Prison

Nope.
Most likely you are a woman, that is immediately disqualifies your opinion as bias. Sorry for saying that, but it is true.
We have a fact that man was sentenced to jail time for buying sex from women who wanted to sell sex
Why only Harvey Weinstein goes to jail and none of those women who exchanged sexual favors for a job?
As far as I know the law is supposed to punish both buyer and seller.

 

The law likely incorporates the thinking of the Hayden Rider that holds what is a woman's is a woman's. What is a man's is negotiable. We're supposed to be second class citizens.

 

lol
100% male, feel free to defend this guy, hes all yours.

 

Geez, dude, I can hear the mouth-breathing and knuckle dragging from here.

 

you sounds exactly like progressive which hunter.
just wait, you will get your jail time.
of course if you are homosexual you get a pleasure both ways.

 

Did not people say already, the guy is not a concern.
The bad part as a rotten and politicized justice system.
And your inability to think without bias proves it 100%.

 

Yep, special rights always win. U.S. Constitution means nothing.

 

Nearly codified in the Constitution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Rights_Amendment The Hayden rider added a sentence to the ERA to keep special protections for women: "The provisions of this article shall not be construed to impair any rights, benefits, or exemptions now or hereafter conferred by law upon persons of the female sex."

 

everyone is equal under the law but some people more equal then the others
the problem is that number of more equal people is greater then number of less equal
that is how identity politics works.

 

Think about it. AA was for about 13% of the US population, ADOS. It seemed right and fair. Now, about 30% of the population is white males that count last. Al Gore is not about to give up his privilege. But men, Jews, Catholics, Irish and Italian? They, by law, count last. Outrageous. Animal Farm predicted this. "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

 

That's fine. Just be sure to respect the whole truth in issues.

 

Jail time? For what?

The fact that you think a homosexual would find prison rape to be pleasurable tells everyone on this forum a lot about you.

 

Anyone can get jail time if judicial system is corrupt and bias.
I did not say anything about rape, I was talking about great opportunity for gay man to find true love among jailmates.

 

Another problem that high percentage of males are brainwashed by progressive propaganda, that is worst part of the issue.

 

I do not know much about Harvey in particularly.

Many men have been convicted of sexual assault on the accuser's word alone since 1980s, and it became common by 1990s. Now it is much more common. Harvey worked to ensure Presumption of Guilt by his films. Now he has reaped the results.

Many Liberal men are still working to advance Presumption of Guilt.

 

You didn't actually respond to the points.

 

Liberal Hollywood knew of his behavior for decades and said nothing.

 

Six years for committing multiple sexual assaults? Seems like a bargain. I hear the recommended sentence for lying in Washington is 9.5 years.

 

His behavior was supported by hordes of women who were willing to sell sex for favor.
In United States selling sex for value is a crime. All "victims" should go to jail along with Harvey
At very minimal they should be stripped of all their honors and awards.

 

He is guilty as sin. How else can a hectomiilionaire be convicted?

But many men have been convicted on an uncorroborated evidence of one accuser since late 1980s. Now it will become easier.

Many Swords of Damocles are hanging over the head of any man who had sexual liaisons. Each sword is held by a single hair which just got thinner.

 

Horse pucky. I'm pretty sure we all know what you meant.

 

It does not matter what we know, the meaning of words is based on the court decision.
E.g. in the case of Harvey judge has defined rape according to his political opinion even though we all know that it was consensual sexual relationship between adults.

 

Very good point - you are referring to Stone I presume Even if one claim "the sentencing guidelines" - which is a losing claim due to comparison of similar cases - the average of which is much lower -

so what - perhaps the sentencing guideline's themselves are flawed - and we see countless examples of sentences that seem out of order - for various reasons - political being one of them - fame being another via tabloid coverage - various movements "Me Too".

 

Weinstein's actions only came to light because of the vegas massacre. They broke the Weinstein story a week after the Vegas shooting due to the fact the feds and Vegas p.d could not even manufacture a believable time line of events that transpired before the shooting.

That is fact....along with so many oddities to follow.. The feds and media had to put something in the headlines too draw most everyone's attention away from the shooting.

 

I think the sentence was excessive and unfair.

I strongly suspect he pushed himself on these women, and the women felt compelled to go along with it because their career was at stake. That's sort of a borderline form of rape, but does not actually rise to the level of real rape. He took advantage of them.
But then these women resented what he did, and falsely testified that he raped them.

And these women waited so long to report the alleged rape.

And each of the alleged rapes have only one witness, there are no corroborating witnesses for any of the individual alleged crimes.

Punishment may be warranted, but not this much. I believe punishment has to take into account the level of evidence, and in this case we only have the testimony of individual women each claiming they were raped, and each hoping to get a big money payout from him.
