#MeToo founder says campaign will continue after Weinstein verdict overturned

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · 3 days ago - 13:52

Tarana Burke called Harvey Weinstein’s accusers ‘heroes’ and said movement would continue to bring progress to society

The founder of the #MeToo movement, Tarana Burke, has called the women who spoke out against Harvey Weinstein “heroes” and said such campaigns for justice and equality will continue to bring about progress in society.

Burke, who nearly two decades ago coined the phrase “Me too” from her work with sexual assault survivors, found herself again declaring – after New York’s highest court in a shock decision on Thursday overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction in the city – the #MeToo reckoning is greater than any court case.

How much did #MeToo change for women? Let’s ask Harvey Weinstein today – or Donald Trump | Marina Hyde

Both were pilloried, but that was then. Today, one has beaten a rape conviction, the other may return as president

According to his representatives, former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein is still digesting the overturning of his rape conviction by a New York court, but they did come out to say he was “cautiously excited” . Cautiously excited? I’m not sure these are the words I’d alight on to paint a word-picture of a rapist. You might as well say “tentatively aroused”. Then again, as we’re about to discuss, quite a lot of guys don’t particularly have to worry about what they say or do, or how they say or do it. It’s only natural that Harvey should very much want to be one of them again.

Speaking of word-pictures, though, how’s this for a vignette of our times? When they heard the news that Weinstein’s conviction had been overturned on Thursday, a whole host of reporters happened to be looking at the exact spot in the exact New York courtroom that he’d sat in when that original judgment had been handed down. This was because they were waiting for Donald Trump to sit in it for Thursday’s proceedings in his hush money trial . Mr Trump, you might recall, is in such a lot of trouble that he is the presumptive Republican nominee and current bookies’ favourite to win the US presidency again, though admittedly he lags behind Weinstein on the sexual assault and misconduct front, given that only 26 women have accused him of it . Ultimately, though, I guess the question is: if #MeToo “went too far”, what would “going just far enough” have looked like?

What (Is) a Woman review – like #MeToo never happened

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · 4 days ago - 14:00 · 1 minute

Arcola theatre, London
Andrée Bernard’s solo show is a bizarre representation of one woman’s love life, minus depth and character development

This solo musical opens with a sex scene. A woman (Andrée Bernard) is pushed up against a closet by her lover. There is talk of taut flesh, unblemished skin and wrought muscle. And we return to this peak of passion against the closet, followed by the bathtub, time and again. But in between is a workaday relationship history that takes us from teen romance to a series of inappropriate partners, internet dates and a reliable-but-dull dentist. There are men who sweep the woman off her feet and others who reject her. You could call it a kind of sexual quest, in theory.

In practice, it is hard to work out what this bizarre show is saying. If the intention is to take a dive into the travails of modern love from a female perspective, it comes back up with cliches. Also written by Bernard, the romantic highs are so trite that they might be rehashed from the pages of a Mills & Boon novel (the erotic series) and the rest of the material is barely there.

‘This is more than a #MeToo drama’: Jez Butterworth on his new play – and punching Harvey Weinstein

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Thursday, 4 April - 04:00

The playwright reveals how his clashes with the sexual predator haunt the most disturbing scenes of The Hills of California, his latest Olivier-nominated play about teenage singing sisters trying to make it big. Warning: contains spoilers

Uncle Tony went to America to seek his fortune and succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. “He was like this big CEO, the president of Coca-Cola America,” recalls Jez Butterworth of his relation, who even acquired an American accent as he made his way from Rochdale to master of the universe.

When Uncle Tony returned to visit the little house in St Albans that Butterworth grew up in, it was as if someone unspeakably glamorous had materialised in the living room. “He was magical,” says the playwright. “There was a glow to all things American in the late 70s for English people, certainly for my family.” But this return was also painful to little Jez because of how his father reacted. “I watched my dad change into someone who fawned over his brother. Like a complete personality change. I found it excruciating.”
