It's a 45 year old story. Woody Allen in the photo montage is a big red flag. But I wouldn't exactly call this breaking news. Brooke Shields had been out about her atrocious treatment even before #MeToo.

Woody Allen in the photo montage is a big red flag.

Not at the time, though. His proclivities were not widely known 'til he and Farrow split in 1992, when she found out about Soon-Yi.

...Well, you might have had an inkling if you saw Manhattan.

It’s not breaking news but it is a really interesting snapshot in time showing how not only were these behaviors occurring, it was at times very publicly normalized. Comparing a 13 year old actress to a “nascent whore” is staggering.

The Olsen's Twins 18 Count Down websites were a thing.

Not just random websites any creep could make, but something mainstream TV talked about too.

More obscure, but Greg Kelly "complimenting" an underaged worker for her bathing suit. He would later be fired. He's on Newsmax now.

On April 4, 2007, shock jock Don Imus referred to the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy headed ho’s” following their Cinderella Story NCAA playoff run that left them the number 2 women’s team in the nation

It's how these fuckers talk about everyone.

Still infuriating, I'm not sure why you made this comment.

Gross response and I disagree.

When you've spent your whole life surrounded by these freaks, the outrage wanes.
