freedoms, healing & stories in the news
What women say privately about the #Me too…movement differs considerably from what’s said in public. So says an opinion piece published by the New York Times recently.
Aptos Psychologist: Seems like the #Me Too …. encourages young woman to view themselves as frail victims? Let’s raise kids (boys and girls) to view themselves as strong and capable.
“I saw a member yesterday with her cleavage so deep it was down to the floor,†Kaptur said, according to the sources present. “And what I’ve seen … it’s really an invitation.†The comments left many others in the room stunned, the sources said. From Politico.
“Maybe I’ll get booed for saying this, but many companies and the military [have] a dress code,†she said. “I have been appalled at some of the dress of … members and staff. Men have to wear ties and suits.â€
Aptos Psychologist: More decorum coming soon? Not likely.  Women students wear P.J.s to night law classes.  In Aptos, women wear bathing suits with minor cover up to get groceries. The image you present does affect how people interact with you.

How has all the sexual harassment news affected voters in Alabama? Right now, Judge Moore is ahead … Mitch McConnell changes his mind ...
The group, which “advocates for and advances the careers of women working in the screen industries – to achieve parity and transform culture,†says the helpline will help by providing legal aid, counseling, and advice to men, women, and youth who have experienced or are experiencing sexual harassment.
The William Morris/Endeavor (WME) talent agency provided seed funding for the sexual harassment help line. However, WIF says it still needs to raise $25,000 to help launch the helpline.
The helpline is being launched in response to a multitude of sexual harassment allegations and revelations against mostly men in the film, news, and entertainment industries. In addition to that, years of sexual misconduct have started to surface against politicians, both in Washington and in various state capitals.

Late-night TV blackout — about Harvey Weinstein, Hollywood producer & Democrat Party mega-donor.The allegations piled up even as Mr. Weinstein helped define popular culture. He has collected six best-picture Oscars and turned out a number of touchstones, from the films “Sex, Lies, and Videotape,†“Pulp Fiction†and “Good Will Hunting†to the television show “Project Runway.â€
In public, Mr. Weinstein presents himself as a liberal lion, a champion of women and a winner of not just artistic but humanitarian awards.
In 2015, the year Ms. O’Connor wrote her memo, his company distributed “The Hunting Ground,†a documentary about campus sexual assault.
A longtime Democratic donor, Mr. Weinstein hosted a fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton in his Manhattan home last year. He employed Malia Obama, the oldest daughter of former President Barack Obama, as an intern this year, and recently helped endow a faculty chair at Rutgers University in Gloria Steinem’s name. During the Sundance Film Festival in January, when Park City, Utah, held its version of nationwide women’s marches, Mr. Weinstein joined the parade.
Weinstein’s most current attorney, a woman, just resigned.
