    Well the quote is

    'Gwyneth said he placed his hands on her and suggested they head to the bedroom for massages.'

    So he put his arm around her/on her shoulder and suggested they go ****........

    She said no....

    I am sure he is guilty of worse as I said in my original post.

    But asking a lady for a bit and being told no and then not pursuing is kind of the normal way things are supposed to work?

      Is a man no longer supposed to even try to ask a women if she wants a bit of 'ows your father?'
      A number of women are saying he raped them. Is that considered "trying your luck"?

          The only woman oPM knows is his mum, and he's learnt not to try his luck there. So you do need to show a bit of understanding about the origins of his angry white man alt-right snowflake thing.

            No not at all - but I do not think it does anyone any favours when all these women come out of the woodwork trying to make out somehow they were one of his 'victims' when in reality they were not.

            The guy is a leacherous scumbag who is probably guilt of rape and coercion - but that does not mean he raped every woman he made advances towards.

              Strawman. Nobody is claiming this.

                The point I was trying to make was that women coming forward and claiming they were victims because he tried to get them in the sack is not helping.

                It will then be seen by the court that he did try it on with almost every woman he met - but he did nothing to those that said no.

                It then starts to cast doubts on the word of the woman he did allegedly rape.

                If he is guilt of rape then fine he is guilty of rape - whether he made advances at 'insert successful movie star here' or not has no relevance on the case.

                  You may (or may not) have been trying to make that point, but you stated:

                  but that does not mean he raped every woman he made advances towards.
                  This is an outrageous strawman. Nobody has claimed that, and given your posting history, it stinks of an embittered white man alt-right posture, designed to undermine societal trends to combat sexual violence against women (which presumably you see as part of a Feminazi conspiracy against men).

                    He's not just politely suggested they go to his room though has he. He's touched her, the manner of which is not clear. From the information we have that could range from relatively innocuous hand on the shoulder to something that is overtly aggressive and/or sexual.

                    The devil is in the details but clearly the implication is that the touching was not appropriate.

                      Yes, the comparison is that it appears someone has been committing crimes in the form of abuse and 'many' individuals within a definable entity (Hollywood in this case) knew about it and did relatively **** all to get it stopped.

                      Allegedly.
                      Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
