I won't argue that she bares some responsibility, and I do question the alleged "rape" that might have just been more give and take negotiating(I don't know the details).
My main point is that it's inappropriate in that setting to even put her in that position, which I do believe he is mostly responsible for, given his status. Legally speaking, whatever, I don't think he broke any laws. I just think that kind of power play needs to be curbed. It goes both ways too. I don't like some bimbo offering herself up to get her shitty project off the ground either. I just don't think that's the case here. I believe there was a high level of manipulation involved, which is more on him.
Business needs to be conducted professionally, and I think people should be working to eliminate every bit of sexual pay for play from the equation.
If Harvey opens the meeting with "can I flirt with you?" and it's in the privacy of her apartment or hotel or w/e...then it's on her to
Sure, but he put her in a very awkward position right off the bat. She's there trying to sell her shit, and one of the first things out of his mouth is "Can I flirt with you?", like some fucking ogre who doesn't know how human interactions work, and when she was even the least bit hesitant, he got all mopey, and immediately gave off a vibe like he was offended. She was put in a spot right away. I understand her playfulness, because he not so subtly made it part of the deal.
I'm not all about this #metoo/#Timesup shit, but the power dynamic thing that Weinstein clearly abused on a daily basis, is something I can understand needing to be curbed. If flirting occurs naturally as part of the game in a negotiation, that's fine, but the shit that Weinstein did in that video alone, was over the line and abuse of power.
"You pretty girl. I touch you, okay? I touch you, you get deal."
What a fat fucking chud.

Brah, I have been put through institutional grinders like the army, and Boeing, and come out the other side in tact, wearing a cocky grin.
I don't like authority. How smooth of a ride do you think I had in the military?
Trump?
I have met far more impressive people then Donald Trump.
It was in his office at Weinstein headquarters. It wasn't a date, or a *wink, wink* meeting in a hotel. She did also seem uncomfortable and hesitant when he asked, and when he acted a bit turned off, that's when she loosened up.
Again, if it was a more natural progression, and nothing was overtly stated and implied at the beginning of the meeting, I wouldn't have a big problem with it, and I'd be calling bullshit on her describing how she felt. The issue I have is Harvey making it an awkward situation by being so forward, and essentially testing her, and using his position to horde over her.
Sure, she didn't have to go along with it, but it shouldn't have been part of the meeting in the first place, and that's what I take issue with more than anything. It's an abuse of power, and it's wrong. If he does that "Hey, I'm Mr. Bigshot, let me fondle you" game at a club or whatever, fine. The girl in question in that setting doesn't have anything to lose(unless she's an associate of some kind, of course) by turning him down. In a business setting, it's different. The pressure to comply is unfair. Why is "let me fondle you, or fuck off" part of the deal? It shouldn't be.
At the start of the meeting he stated how he was gonna move forward. At that point she could have walked out of the room. But we both know why she stayed.
She was using the power of her vagina to get ahead and not based off of the merits of whatever the hell it was she was peddling.
I don't think it's appropriate Harvey does that but she wasn't saying "no please stop" or pulling away from him.
Of course, but my point is that she shouldn't be put in that position to begin with. She shouldn't have to flirt with the chud, and let him put his hands all over her, to ensure her business proposition.
She was forced to do so, if she wanted any chance of having her project picked up.
I agree with you to a point. Declaring your intentions to flirt before you flirt in a private setting seems snaky but fine. He announced his intent at the very start. He found her attractive. He wanted to flirt with her. He announced his intentions, she played along.
No. She really wasn't. If she were a man and the idea sound, she would still have a meeting with HW. If her idea was strong enough and had merit or whatever the hell it was she was pushing in that meeting, she would still get her project picked up.
She was using her vagina to get an edge up and push her project. She knew damn well what she was doing.
She was playing the game every bit as much as he was. She could have stopped or not played along at any time. And she certainly didn't have to propel the flirting forward when it was dying down.
It's the announcement of his plans, that I have the biggest problem with. Especially that he did it right off the bat. It's a coy way of getting consent to be a creep. It is snaky like you said, but I don't know why you think it absolves him of any responsibility, and it somehow makes her the bad actor here for going along with it, like she wasn't pressured into it.
Well, yeah. She's not a man, and Harvey put an extra bullshit stipulation on the deal, that a man wouldn't have to put up with(not typically, anyways). You see what I'm saying? A man and a woman with the exact same idea go to HW, and only the woman has to pretend she wants his dick to get a deal. That's not cool. Her idea could be a great one, and would be taken at face value if she was man. Because she's a woman though, she has to play this stupid game and pretend she attracted to this fat disgusting piece of shit, or risk having her shit shutdown over turning him off. If the man gets shut down, it's because HW isn't interested. If she gets shut down, it's because she didn't play ball with his hard on. Again, not cool, not fair, not right.
Again, she had to.
She shouldn't have had to play the game in the first place.
And what if her project is shit and gets pushed ahead anyways because she played the game? Do we call foul then? If her project was so good on it's own merit, then flirting or not HW would back the project. If he wasn't an idiot that is. The project, with or without flirting would stand on it's own merit regardless. Because in the end it is what it is.
People find other people attractive. When you are an attractive person, it's both an advantage and a hindrance. Depends on how you look at it. But that's just the way it is. Her being an attractive woman back then means that sometimes when she's dealing with men, they may try to make advances on her through all of her daily interactions. We are not robots, that's just what people do.
She needs something from him and doesn't want to kill her chances of getting it by shutting it down. Some women might've drawn that line in the sand really clearly but then those are the women that get get fucked by Weinstein in the metaphorical sense instead of the literal one.Yeah I totally agree. He’s lecherous and disgusting.
But I guess I don’t see why right off the bat she wouldn’t tell him it’s inappropriate. I’m not letting someone fondle me to get a sale.
Even before that she should have said she wanted to talk to the marketing team, not with him alone. This was their second meeting so I wonder how the first one went.

We're just going in circles with the rest of it, but I'll address this.
We don't know the quality of her work, and it's impossible to know if Harvey would've got on board if she refused his advances even if it was great. We can't ever know, and neither can she, because Harvey made sexual advances part of the deal, and she felt the need to play along to help her chances. All I'm saying is that it should never be a part of a business deal, and Harvey making it a part of the deal not only undermines her work and true capability, but it's just a scummy move.
C'mon. You're telling me it was impossible for Harvey to hide his emotions during a business meeting? It's not asking much that he keeps some professional composure in these settings, and not imply that allowing him to put his hands all over her is part of the overall deal.
Lol. If this was my wife I would be mad as hell about her behaviorThat's more personal. It would depend on a lot of variables. I would hope at the least she would tell me about this creepy fat man putting his hands all over her, if she really objected to it at the time.
As I understand it, that game included having a position of power over their money gameLouie seems like a great guy tbh. Asking permission to whip his dick out in front of them. I wish I had that kind of game.
Hillary and his mom probably.I wonder if there is a woman on earth he has respect for. I'd like to see how he conducts himself in the presence of a woman he sees as an equal.
Hillary and his mom probably.
She was gonna let that asshole flirt with her, maybe feel her up a little to get the gig. I still feel sorry she was raped, though.She literally gave Harvey approval to do everything he did in that video.
He made it clear he wasn’t going to buy her shit unless she played the game. She willfully played the game.
And the same goes for Harvey. The game isn’t over. Get ready to give all your money to the whores.
