Harassed Theron Gets Her Own Back

Monster star Charlize Theron found the best way of coping with the stress of playing a sexually harassed character in her new film was to pester all the men on set. In her new movie North Country, the Oscar winner plays a struggling single mother who has to endure endless insults and assault from her male colleagues. Theron says, "On breaks between filming, I would get my own back by sexually harassing all the men on the set. It was quite a laugh and I think they quite enjoyed it. In fact my co-star Woody Harrelson came in one time on his day off and when I asked him why, he replied, 'I've come in for my sexual harassment!'"

"get my own back"? On Actors? I suppose on the set of 'Monster' she let the men "get their own back" too? Or did she play a victim in that film as well?

She's a jerkette who makes her money by playing it up to the man-haters.

So sexual harassment is now humorous?  I am so confused.

johnnyp, what you of cause have to realise is that when she's doing it of cause it's funny. Just as when a women is likening men to animals this is also just a giggle.

On breaks between filming, I would get my own back...

No doubt she was forced into the film role that she'll get paid millions for by the evil patriarchy, so needing to get her own back is perfectly understandable.  :roll:

Only if men are getting sexually harrassed.  If a womyn is sexually harrassed, it's the same as rape.

So sexual intercourse is not necessary to consider an act rape?  Now I am even more confused!

No, sexual intercourse isn't necessary to rape a womyn.  It's even possible for a man to rape a womyn with his eyes, just by looking at her for a long time.  This is called eyerape.

Gee - I never knew that I was committing a felony punishable by 15 years in prison by having my eyes linger on a woman who is advertising her boobs in a low cut shirt.

I need to study up on this criminal law stuff - I could inadvertently do something that lands me in jail for a decade or more.  I never knew that I was a cad.

Shh. Don't let 'them' hear you say that. As you should know it's not advertising, it's grrl power and empowerment, or something.

8 seconds man, that's all it take.

Sometimes that's all that gets me through the day even vaguely sane.

Or did she play a victim in that film as well?

You never saw "Monster", did you?

They quite handily turned her into a "Victim" allright.

Pissed me off, no-end;.

wow - I posted this on another thread - both of these topics ended in the same place:

you are probably correct.

And also keep in mind - when dealing with TV and movies, editing and directing have a huge impact on the story, mood, and message.

I bet a decent director/producer/editor could take a psycho rapist serial killer and put together a sympathetic story that would have you rooting for the monster.

I am always amazed (even after the thousandth time) that some people have such a viewpoint that believes that women are utterly helpless and all men are monsters. These people hold this viewpoint for life, even though their every day experience tells them that men are the one's who we count on to feed us, protect us, rescue us, build our houses, stand up for the underdog, invent medical treatments, are the one's we go to solve problems, and push us to be the best that we can be.

That was one of the reasons I did not want to see the movie.

I had no idea that the movie tried to show a murdering prostitute in a good light.  I did net see it because I do not find sicko killers interesting (understatement).
