    They consented to what they thought was a poor attempt at humor from someone in a position of power over them, boss or not, and then often were blocked in the room while he did it, y’know, against their consent.

    I really hope that’s not your only understanding of how “consent” works when you’re peer pressured by a hero in a position of power over you.

      Never heard anything about being blocked in the room, I would appreciate the sources on this if you have them. Also, I would appreciate if you could elaborate what power exactly he had on anyone at this point.

      No need to be snarky about my definition of “consent”, obviously we disagree on the dynamic of the situation, not the definition of consent.

      In what fucking universe does the director of an absolute bomb have power over a lifelong actress?

      Louie right after the disaster of pootie pie was quite a bit different than Louie at the height of his career.

      It was a weird moment, and it is tangentially related since he is an example of a guy who got inordinately horny the moment he felt a connection with a woman he felt was a kindred, but what happened with Louie is quite a bit different than what happened with Weinstein or Cosby. It’s quite arguable that he had less power in that exchange.

      That people mix these things up says something about society but I’m not sure what.
