Une supposée enquête à paraitre de Mediapart, des noms postés sur les réseaux sociaux sans aucun contexte et des sources plus que douteuses : comment la nouvelle liste #MeToo du cinéma a-t-elle provoqué l'emballement médiatique ? Itinéraire d'une rumeur.
#Metoomédia et l’actrice Anna Mouglalis publient une pétition dans «le Monde», ce mardi 14 mai, jour de l’ouverture du Festival de Cannes, estimant que la France a un «retard abyssal» en matière de violences sexuelles.
Judi Dench proves again that she's not remotely lovely or fluffy, as she's often portrayed.
ICYMI - she professed a wish to have Harvey Weinstein's name "tattoeed on her bum" during a promotional interview for Philomena, broadcast on Kermode and Mayo's Film Review podcast.
I know #MeToo hadn't risen to prominence at that time, but given his behaviour was widely acknowleged to be "an open secret in Hollywood", it's extremely unlikely she wasn't aware. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/14/judi-dench-trigger-warning-people-should-avoid-theatre/ #Theatre
The Federal Election Commission must investigate whether Donald Trump’s campaign illegally attempted to hide settlement payments by routing the payments through third parties, according to a complaint filed today by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. The allegations of wrongdoing stem from former Trump campaign employee AJ Delgado’s sworn declaration in her pending lawsuit against Trump and his campaign over her claims of pregnancy discrimination...
Depuis plusieurs jours, certains médias, y compris sérieux, évoquent l’existence d’une supposée «liste» d’auteurs présumés de violences sexuelles, que Mediapart s’apprêterait à publier. C’est faux, évidemment. À la veille de l’ouverture du Festival de #Cannes, le spectacle médiatique est pathétique.
"la généalogie de cette fausse information est bavarde : née d’un tweet d’un compte complotiste, elle a ensuite été relayée par les médias de la sphère Bolloré (C8 et Cyril Hanouna en tête), puis par des journaux assumant une ligne anti-#MeToo [ce qui] permet aux un·es et aux autres de proclamer tranquillement que #MeToo va «trop loin», que «l’air du temps» est irrespirable, tant la «délation» et le «tribunal médiatique» ont provoqué des «morts sociales» en pagaille._
I’m so glad to see this posted. The whole meme of bear vs man made me feel at odds and while I saw what the point was that it tried to raise it still didn’t really do a great job to me. After a lot of thinking about it and discussing it in other threads I finally understood what I feel is the issue. While the answer given by most (if not all) women is shocking and shows the feeling of uncertainty and unsafeness the question is framed in such a way that it creates division and sexism. The problem is not what women are answering, the issue is that it puts men on the other side without any more thought. It divides us into women vs either men or bears. I’m not a woman, I’m not a bear, and I don’t want to be a man seen as a danger. I understand the issue and I want to be part of the solution and create a safer world for everyone.
This whole topic wouldn’t have made me see the problem if it wasn’t for the effect that other ways to raise awareness have had in the past. For me the greatest method to raise awareness was the #metoo movement. That’s when I could see the issue and what kind of effect it has. It was a movement that didn’t automatically make me feel excluded, it was a movement that raised awareness of the victims, but it didn’t have to be only women, also men that had been victims could raise it if they felt empowered by it. It was horrifying seeing the spread of it, and then there must be all the ones that didn’t say anything. That’s a movement I can get behind, that’s the way to raise awareness. Since then I try to be more aware of the kind of behavior that creates those feelings of unsafeness for women and if I would ever notice something done by others I’d try to step up. The whole man vs bear is terrible at doing the same.
Awareness and advocacy may seem pointless until it precipitates in holding the oppressors accountable. Next time, hopefully, it will be even more significant.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told attendees at a judicial conference Friday that he and his wife have faced “nastiness” and “lies” over the last several years and decried Washington, D.C., as a “hideous place.”...
The me too movement is simply many in society finally telling women that it’s finally ok to tell the stories of how men in powerful positions have abused and humiliated them.
Anita Hill is basically an original #metoo badass from a time when it was not only not ok but severely frowned upon. She told her story even though our society crucified her for it.
#metoo likely revival as women and the men who love them, react to the badgering of #stormydaniels and the overall treatment of women by Republicans and denial of #abortion and #bodyautonomy to women. #vote like #democracy is on the line. It is.
obligatory bear post (lemmy.cafe)
is the man or bear thing rhetorically or optically the perfect feminist meme that is beyond criticism? no....
