How about that Louis C.K.?
It seems to me there is way too much outrage in the media over men mis-behaving around women. Harvey Weinstein was apparently a rapist and
rape is a crime.
However, masturbating in front of female comics just seems like a really stupid thing to do. Is it a crime? Apparently he locked the door on at least one woman before 'performing' for her, which really pushes it closer to the crime category. Even so, I would think a female comic would laugh out loud and that would be the end of it. An enterprising young comic might be able to leverage the incident to her advantage. Might certain female comics be leveraging the incident to their advantage even now? I have never heard of the comics in question because of their talented performances. Have you?
Boorish behavior is common among the rich and famous. People put up with it for the advantages they gain from being around rich famous boors. If the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, people move on rather quickly. Also, if a job requires a woman to be around a jerk, she can quit and work somewhere else, right? I worked with a jerk (many different times) and I found another job when it got too bad.
Men and Women are different. They behave differently by design. Men are genetically/biologically programmed to make sexual advances towards women. Some men have more social skills than others. We all know what they are after. Deal With It.
In all the media outrage, why is there no talk of women misbehaving around men? As Bill Burr said, 'there is an epidemic in this country of gold digging whores.'
If a woman (gold digging whore) ambushes a man he may suffer just as much as Louis C.K.'s victims but would the media express outrage?
