  1. > “I’ve really had to examine that, like, how did I get saved? There were microaggressions, of course,” the two-time Oscar winner said. “Anybody who’s in the workplace has had misogynist microaggressions. That’s just a part of being a woman, right? But what kept me from having those bad experiences, those terrible experiences? And what I came to believe … is that I had a certain amount of power by the time I was, like, 12. So by the time I had my first Oscar nomination, I was part of a different category of people that had power and I was too dangerous to touch. I could’ve ruined people’s careers or I could’ve called ‘Uncle,’ so I wasn’t on the block.”

    > “It also might be just my personality, that I am a head-first person and I approach the world in a head-first way,” Foster continued. “It’s very difficult to emotionally manipulate me because I don’t operate with my emotions on the surface. Predators use whatever they can in order to manipulate and get people to do what they want them to do. And that’s much easier when the person is younger, when the person is weaker, when a person has no power. That’s precisely what predatory behavior is about: using power in order to diminish people, in order to dominate them.”

    What idiot goes and molests twins? I mean, they automatically corroborate the story!

    And, they have a built-in confidante so they won’t stay silent in shame.

  3. I think about dynamics like this when people defend Michael Jackson by saying Macaulay Culkin has never been touched inappropriately by MJ (despite admitting they slept in bed together). Predators are very careful about who they prey on.

    My family’s (very distant and now dead) creepy uncle definitely tried to target girls who he thought would be more quiet or pliable. I also just straight up left the room which not everyone did because they had been taught to “respect their elders”

    Also a president was shot by a guy attempting to impress her, so she was waaaaay more famous than other young celebrities because of that as well.

    Hollywood is point blank full of illusions, part of that is the inverted genders. Almost every single one is born the opposite end of story, no matter what sophomore university journalists with a C+ in Film theory believe is off topic and hurtful, it is part of Hollywood.

    Same reason MJ didn’t lay a finger on Macaulay Culkin but molested other kids

    Well also she had a good agent. She told a story that when she was 14 a producer wanted to take advantage of her. He had inappropriate requests. Her mother was out of town so Jodie met the producer in some meeting where he requested to see her body so she took off her jacket. When her agent found out about it he met the producer and punched him in the face.

    She’s normally so private I just assumed she’d never say one way or the other. I’m just glad at least someone doesn’t have horror stories. Seems so rare for the era she lived through.

  10. She’s not wrong. And I’m sad for all those other kids who didn’t have the protection that she had to save them from
    The sick fucks in the world
