Guys, I’m pretty sure miss whirley was being sarcastic. It doesn’t translate well on the internet.
Perhaps just read that again, and THINK ?

Prince William does appear to make reference to the Hollywood sex abuse scandal here - in a foreword to the BAFTA programme. Pays tribute to the "brave people" who "spoke up about bullying, harassment and abuse". Didn't use the word "women" but can surely only mean #TimesUp*

Clearly there are ways to offer support without gimmick clothing
THANK YOU!!!!! I for one think Corey Feldman has truth behind his crazy rantings.Brave people ...that was well phrased...because it's men too not just women who face abuse and harassment at the hands of sexual predators.

Yes, I was being sarcastic as evidenced on the previous page when I explained my real viewpoint on this so called "dress code". But I'm not surprised that some read my second post without sarcasm, because that's exactly the type of ridiculous criticism that women are facing in this so-called movement. One that puts more demands on women to change rather than on the men to change.

No fuss, but this makes me sad. To Quote the Fug Girls: "Since when is saying, “sexual assault is bad, please don’t harass people at work” a partisan political statement? "
[/url].
The fury of what she called “Twitter feminism” is terrifying more moderate voices into silence. She des*cribed her “whisper network”, friends and contacts who are concerned about what they see as the excesses of the #MeToo movement but are afraid to say so publicly for fear of vilification.
Before the article had even gone to press a campaign was already being waged online to have it suppressed. *Writers and advertisers were pressurised not to work with Harper’s following a rumour that Roiphe would “out” the anonymous creator of an online list detailing the sexual mis*demeanours of “shitty media men”.
Roiphe was viciously abused online, labelled as “pro-rape”, “human scum”, a “ghoul”, a “bitch” and a “monster out of Stephen King’s It”.
The movement has also had corrosive and tragic effects. This was highlighted last week when Jill Messick, a Hollywood executive, took her own life. She had been pulled into a bitter fight between Weinstein and the actress and activist Rose McGowan.
If this was all it meant I could maybe agree. An article in the Sunday Times last week, based on an opinion piece by the feminist professor Katie Roiphe of NYU rather summed up what this movement has become:
This is no longer a movement opposing sexual assault of women. It's a vehicle to push the political aspirations of a bunch of extremists who demand that articles not bent on glorifying it should be suppressed. This has become women silencing women. This is incredibly dangerous IMO and Kate was right to stay out of it.
I doubt they thought one way or the other about it and I seriously doubt they'll give interviews/release statements because she didn't wear a black dress.
Frances McDormand wore a red outfit and when she got up and spoke, she stated that even though she didn't wear black, she still supports the movement. So I imagine folks in the audience understand that not wearing black doesn't mean you don't support them.
It would be so cool if we could save our moral outrage for the people who commit sexual assault rather than women who wear a different coloured dress to everyone else.

I completely agree with this. There were some other actresses and actors who were not physically supporting the movement via clothing, yet nobody (as far as I am aware) seems to have hurled hate at them - and they are in a position to make political statements, since they don't have the disadvantage that Catherine does in it not being preferable for her to make political statements. Furthermore, Catherine wore a black belt, and so she is showing her support for the movement. She should have the right to wear what she wants without being abused about it by the militant feminists who criticise her on social media about it. Because that's not feminism - that's not treating Catherine the same as everyone else.
I, for one, really like Catherine's gown. The colour is gorgeous and she looks glowing.
I thing the Queen wears black only when protocol is asking for it (funerals, mourning, remembrances, etc) I think she keeps the old idea of wearing black, when wearing black was sign of something precise to say. And despite the seriousness of the sexual violence matter, I strongly doubt she would make part.Would The Queen have worn black? We all know the answer.
Every ‘movement’ gets highjacked. Now some ‘feminists’ are using it to advance their political agendas

By this time Catherine has to be feeling pretty much "blah, I wish this was over" and black may have been the last thing she would have wanted to wear. I think she made an admirable compromise and looked marvellous. Her attendance was a plus, after all, she could have pulled a sickie to solve the problem.
I think Kate looked fabulous and I am glad that she did not wear black.
The film industry is full of hypocracy, the metoo issue is as old as the industry itself and little has happened while most people have known about it all along and nothing happened because it's all about the money, for me all this wearing black is a publicity stunt of political correctness, nothing more.
