Powerful man talks about a movie that he filmed 31 years previously, a movie which wouldn't be what it was without Elaine May (who received much less credit than she deserved):
Less powerful man unsuccessfully confronts the same more powerful man, who talks right over him:
The same less powerful man then has a voice part in yet another children's movie from the entertainment industry that is a joke about my being victimized by voyeurism:
Somewhere in the midst of all of this, "Tootsie" is repackaged by the entertainment industry without its moderately feminist message and turned into a joke about a man wearing a dress, even implying that the main character is disturbed for being concerned about women who are victimized by domestic violence.

A few things:
-About Mr. Hoffman's empathy for women who aren't beautiful and who are therefore passed over by men as having nothing worthwhile to say; that's nice of him. What about women who are beautiful who are treated as if they have nothing worthwhile to say, who are treated as if what they look like cancels out every other attibute? I'd rather be ignored by a chauvinist because he thinks I'm ugly than have him laugh at all of my protests about being illegally filmed in the bathroom.
-This is the second time since the conglomerate began to persecute me in 2010 that I have heard or read a powerful man from the entertainment industry talking about homeless people; the other one was Martin Scorsese. Both men are invested in avoiding all responsibility for the entertainment industry's behavior toward me and the effect of that behavior on my life. I am far from being the only talented person whom that industry has terrorized and whose life it has ruined; neither the men nor the women of that industry want to take responsibility for its culture of exploitation.
