The name of "Time's Up Now" is from a blog page that I published in 2010; it is being used without permission, while neither that organization nor the entertainment industry tries to stop voyeurism and involuntary pornography.

Time's Up isn't going to change the power dynamics in the entertainment industry.  It is a political organization whose primary ambition is to elect its friends to public office and to solicit alliances with people who are elected without its help for its own gain.  



All quotes are from the same article:

"Since March, Time’s Up has made a point of publicly and forcefully condemning high-powered figures who have been accused of committing or enabling sexual misconduct."

My response:


As far as I know, that organization hasn't criticized the attacks on the rights of women and children that were perpetrated by the Obama administration.

Before those who have used my public interactions with President Trump since the 2016 election as one of the many excuses for continuing to force me to live in criminal degradation start squawking about him, here's another quote from the article:

Quote:


"Borders was reluctant to speak directly about anyone who Time’s Up has already publicly addressed, or name people the group plans to address in the future. She dismissed the suggestion that the organization might one day aim P.S.A.s at President Donald Trump, who has been accused of sexual assault by more than a dozen women (he has denied the allegations).

“Oh, I don’t want to speak about Donald Trump,” she said. “Time’s Up is so much bigger than any one person.”

When pressed to share any thoughts about the president, she declined again, instead opening up the question and focusing on the fact that “as a society, we live in a patriarchy. Period, full stop.”

Some will undoubtedly find her diplomacy frustrating—but to understand it, you should know that she was raised to value civility and the idea of performing one’s civic duty."

My response:

Sure, leave all the suggestions for how President Trump might address issues from his past up to me, his feminist, Democrat, pre-Harvey-Weinstein-public-acknowledgement, pre-Me-Too-prominence, pre-Time's-Up friend whom he watches naked in the shower and cowering on the toilet with everyone else who knows I'm telling the truth, while Mrs. Obama wears designer clothes, kicks the crap out of me on her book tour, and basks in artificially-induced public adoration.

President Obama would have had to resign during his first term if the public had known the truth.

"As a student of sermons, she turned that failure into an illustrative parable—leaning on the old Christian tenet that if something is meant for you, it will be yours. If Borders had become mayor, she never would have gone to Coca-Cola. If she hadn’t gone to Coca-Cola, she wouldn’t have appealed to an organization like the W.N.B.A. Without the W.N.B.A., there’d be no Time’s Up gig. Don’t you see?"

My response:

Yes, I see.  Time's Up didn't want a women's rights' lawyer to be its President, did not want someone who has years of experience of applying and creating legal solutions for systemic and individual cases of misogyny, did not want someone who can quickly and independently analyze situations for which Time's Up's help is requested from a legal perspective, did not want someone who can provide knowledgeable oversight and support for the lawyers whom Time's Up employs, deploys or consults.

It wanted someone greedy and politically ambitious.

Too bad about all of those people who lived and died as slaves, huh?  I guess that freedom wasn't "meant" for them, the way that privacy in the bathroom isn't "meant" for me or for the many other people in Massachusetts (and who knows where else) whom the conglomerate's promotion of voyeurism and involuntary pornography has criminally victimized and continues to criminally victimize.
