I couldn't......Not that at 48 it's something that could happen.

I think it depends upon your self image and how important your own sexuality is in your self identity. Ultimately you have to live with yourself. Some would find it easier than others.

If I were a heterosexual woman though, those questions would be different ones.

I wouldn't want my daughter doing it.....but these are questions for the individual.

I understand your frustration and your desire to change the balance of evidence.

There are several problems inherent with sexual crimes and accusations of sexual crimes. What is fair to one party can definitely not be fair to another.

As for your raising of the unfairness of rape case convictions. We also have the unfairness of accusations against men. There are gender stereotypes over 'tonic masculinity' that are taken advantage with. Playing with these balances has already seen poor outcomes.....those who wish to gain advantage...or get back at lovers.....use these 're-balances' to.....well practically destroy lives that way. The civil court is increasingly being used by rich boys to overturn injustices imposed on them by over zealous private school rulings......What about the poor kids who can't afford this redress? Career destroyed and name tarred without proof.

I agree with you that the whole area of rape and sexual assault isn't a fair one. I don't agree that the statistics on real rape are as they are presented as it is a feminist football. But I do definitely recognise that men can and do get away with this crime.

If something fair could be done about it, I'd support it.

I'm guessing when your a list actor or actress, you don't have to strain your knees and tonsils to get a job. Its important to remember here as well, that its not just women who are victims here. Cory Feldman and Elijah Wood have both spoken out about sexual predators preying on male actors, including child actors, in Hollywood.

Yeah, but to an extent, with Hefner its not 'f**k to get the job', but more that the job is f**king. So whilst its a mile from 'empowering', its not quite the same thing. Its not blackmail. Also, I don't think you had to suck off the editor to get a photoshoot in Playboy.

That said, I've always been a slag / slut.

I think most people on reflection, would, given the choice, label or no label, because its a metric f**k ton of money, that a) will transform your life b) buys a lot of therapy.

There are a lot of similarities between what Weinstein has been accused of and Donald Trump's 'sexploits'

Both henious, yet one is being rightly castigated whilst the other is president.

It's a crazy world.

The same people who only kick up a fuss about Muslim groomers but don't really say much about similar crimes by non Muslims. It's almost as if it's not the crime that bothers them, it's the perpetrator.
