I felt damned lucky to have enough talent to exploit my cleavage

Claire Berlinski написала длинную но умную статью про #metoo . Некоторые положения очевидны всем и давно (например параллель с охотой на ведьм), но она также интересно обсуждает непременные признания покаяния сравнивая со сталинскими процессами 30-х. Или вот это:

The consequences will not just be awful for men. They will be awful for women.

Интересна также попытка рассмотреть ситуацию как случай моральной паники.

Maybe it doesn’t matter where the sources of the present moral panic lie. But could we at least get enough of a grip to realize that it is a moral panic—and knock it off? Women, I’m begging you: Please.

Man's mind travels from cleavage to vagina very quickly. I'm probably worse than most in this respect. And I did my fair share trying to find my way from the former to the latter. The experience is that the way is long and often impossible except in the rare cases when I was the intended target.

But you didn't mean men. You were implying that a woman displaying sexuality is an easy lay. Certainly there are women like that, too. (I suspect it very much varies with social class.) But most, in my limited by my social class experience, are not.

no. i am implying that a woman using sexuality to get ahead in the game will likely use sex to get ahead in the game. seen that. not done that. but seen that.

Whatever you saw doesn't give you any right to generalize.
