as a Dad with daughters I am horrified by this evil. Coercion and oppression to obtain debasing sexual content makes me sick: "There was no room for negotiation. I had to say yes."

Why do people go to such great lengths, even to compromise their personal ethics, to please others peoples imagined sensibilities or expectations?

Forced. Compelled. Persuaded by threats and/or violence. The consequence of the film not being made was just as unnatural an imposition as the nude scene would've been in the first place.

> She could have said no and not made the film. Does that mean this was OK?

I think you know my answer to that, and I don't think you're making an argument in good faith. How about you just come out and say directly what you'd like to say?

Weinstein imposed a "choice". But it wasn't a real choice. It was a threat. An ultimatum. Visiting violence upon others is not OK.

I expect that you're going to take the least-charitable possible interpretation of what I've said. That seems to be your MO, reading the rest of the thread. You're angry, and I get it, but I think that your anger is misdirected.
