New York Cuomos

When used right, MeToo can be a good tool. It's when some people use it as a weapon, does its original intention get lost. For political stuff, let's just say the Andrew Cuomo thing is an embarrassment for New York. You could argue one of the biggest scandals for the state ever. Women are coming out and saying he groped them, kissed them. People that worked for him talked about the nasty side of him in terms of emotion and anger. There's the nursing home death cover up. This is grounds for government impeachment.

But there danger of repercussion, even if they say something. The problem is that Cuomo has a lot of power and he can ruin someone's life in one phone call or create a story that wrecks that person's career. To add to it with him being governor, there was lots of praise about how he handled the coronavirus. If someone came out, they would be gas lit. There was a tweet from that awful comedian Chelsea Handler who said that she wanted to marry him. If she were raped or groped by him, she'd be singing another tune  My point is, the fear is still there. With the stories popping out, they want to show their displeasure.

Supposedly, CNN and MSNBC are not doing a good job of covering it. That's the job of journalism. Speaking about the biggest issues on these programs. Do these anchors not want to admit that this is bad? CNN has Andrew's brother, Chris, as one of their big anchors. That creates a huge issue for both the network and the Cuomo family. Both sides of the political spectrum want to see Andrew out of office. Its something he can't escape.

Cuomo refuses to step down. I think he knows its almost over. From 8,500 to 15 thousand deaths, that's a huge difference in nursing home deaths. It reminds me of Chris Farley's Black Sheep. In that film, it was voter fraud. Here, cover ups of deaths. That's just nursing homes. What if there's more cover up of regular people dying from corona and making the numbers seem less bad. If this is something he survives, being a lock for a fourth term will not be guarantee. I think a changing of the guard will happen, regardless of impeachment or next year's election. It's time for the guy to admit he messed up and step down. If there's a time for a good use of MeToo, this is one of those times. If not, there is a huge double standard.

Women Can Assault Men, Too!

The idea of men being assaulted is not a fever dream. It can actually happen. This doesn't happen to just women and I'm willing to bet there are a number of Hollywood actors that have been harassed and assaulted. Unless you're someone like Terry Crews, they probably don't say anything about the women accusers because they would be ostracized by the community and the media. With this new incident of Asia Argento, it brings up a little strength to MeToo, but it also hurts it significantly.

Argento was one of the first to accuse Harvey Weinstein of raping and assaulting her. Now, she has her own battle to deal with. She has a lawsuit involving an incident that happened in 2013 with an actor she worked with on a movie when he was a young child. I'll leave a link at the end of the blog. This 17 year old at the time, Jimmy Bennett, was supposedly harassed by the actress and then paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to stay mum on what happened. Stuff like sex and photos being half naked (both of them) were the highlights.

Age of consent in California is 18 years old. This is the kind of stuff that gets people in jail, but I doubt Argento will be sentenced. While you can accuse harassment and be accused at the same time, it kind of shows the double standard in actresses and why at times these movements are a joke. It's why I have a hard time believing half the stuff that these women say. You can easily be swayed and fooled by them, and the media will buy into it hook, line, and sinker. And the sad thing is I believe the Weinstein things happened, which I still do. I think this will hurt any movements, not just MeToo. The fact that this has hurt actress Rose McGowan says a lot about the movement of harassment.

Am I saying every woman is a liar? No. But it's seems like an easy excuse to fake a story or try and get quick money from this. One of the more interesting stories is that ex of Chris Hardwick. She tells her "story" and then she tells people a couple months later to move on. What the hell were you trying to do then, Dykstra? Anyways, I hope this brings to light that men can be assaulted and for guys to use the same movement stuff. It's not just one side always getting hurt.

A small positive does not help the big blow MeToo will get. How it recovers is another story in itself. And if this stuff comes to light as being true, Argento will have a hard time finding work and what she says will be looked at with a fine tooth comb.
