In the 1970s, we would have burned this shit down." This was what my baby boomer mom said, over 10 years ago when I first took her into an American Apparel, thinking she'd like it due to the vast amounts of black turtlenecks available there and the fact that they didn't use sweatshops. But between what she knew about Dov Charney -- the
But in this specific case, Judith made the defense of her son generational. She's excusing her son's rape of an unconscious woman by saying, "Well, back in my day, that little whore would have woken up and blamed herself rather than my boy. And that's the way it should be!"
So, apparently it's necessary to remind Judith that her generation didn't do a particularly good job of handling sexual assault and her defense is actually a great example of the problem, not a solution to it.
'Preemptive' describes my actions, not not the actions of the police. I decided to preemptively go in and file a report with the police. They took my statement and thanked me for my time.
"If he hasn't even finished his first semester at college and your go-to problem is already in his pants, you know full bloody well that you raised a rapist."
No. She knows full bloody well he's an idiot who is so easily swayed by those floozies that he'll get into trouble.
That's how she probably sees it, anyway. She doesn't see it as rape. She sees it as a mistake.
Thank god for the way law enforcement is today, according to NCIS, Bones, Law & Order, and CIS, something like 99% of violent crimes are fairly quickly solved these days! Pretty amazing if you ask me.
Not making any claims about accuracy, but as a reflection of the attitude of the time, and that attitude was "we are going to get this asshole" not "boys will be boys".
It's not a statement of how 'accurate' TV law enforcement was, but what attitudes toward sexual assault were. Since network television was/is commercially driven, the values and attitudes portrayed tended to be as 'mainstream' as possible - i.e., least likely to offend the masses of potential purchasers of the shitty products advertised.That's not to say there was no slut-shaming, of course, or other manifestations of misogyny. But it certainly wasn't true that raping unconscious women, waving your dick at, or masturbating on employees/potential employees during job interviews was a-ok. Regardless of any weak excuses from Harvey Weinstein or 'Judith.'
Yes, we boomers are really thick so we couldn't possibly understand this article. BTW, most of us are grandparents now, not today's parents. Which generation is of parenting age again? Which generation was born right after 1964?
You are still a Boomer. The Boomer generation is based on statistics, not a particular time frame. The boom of births after WWII lasted from 1945 until 1964.
Thanks so much for "splaining" the article to me, a doddering old fool who obviously misses the point. Did you read the headline? Did you even read the article?

No one is bashing the generation, they're bashing the people who use it as a fucking excuse for not having learned anything since 1970.
Congrats? Which part of the article said you were?
Oh man, I forgot how accurate crime TV is!
