    No rush take your time.

    "patriarchal male socialist heroes." Not true, an oxymoron. Maybe you could cut down on the dripping cynicism.

    "your continuing minimisation of female voices where they contradict your patriarchal male socialist heroes."

    Did you not notice the article which prompted your outburst was titled

    Emmanuelle Seigner, Roman Polanski’s wife, calls invitation to join movie Academy “insufferable hypocrisy”

    Did you notice it is almost entirely consists of quoting two women ? "In May, Samantha Geimer condemned the Academy’s action as “an ugly and cruel action which serves only appearance… I say to Roman, good riddance to bad rubbish, the Academy has no true honor, it’s all just P.R.” Geimer impolitely referred to the Academy as “a bunch of douchebags.”

    Inconveniently for you they seem perfectly independent and outspoken.

    Seigner, in her open letter, published in Le Journal du Dimanche, takes the Academy to task for its invitation “in the cause of much-needed feminism.” She continues: “How could anyone doubt my concern for equality between men and women?
    "Seigner goes on forcefully, “The Academy probably thinks I am enough of a spineless, social-climbing actress that I would forget that I have been married for the past 29 years to one of the world’s greatest directors. I love him, he is my husband and the father of my children. He has been cast out like a pariah. Yet these same nameless academicians think that I should ‘mount the steps of glory’ behind his back? The insufferable hypocrisy! This proposal is one insult too many. I cannot remain silent any longer. You offend me while claiming to want to protect women!”
    The actress explains that she can no longer keep quiet “about this affair which has transformed the life of my entire family since his arrest in Switzerland on 26 September 2009… Ever since he was arrested he has been falsely slandered as a pervert. I am the only one who is able to testify just how much he regrets what happened 40 years ago. And yet, I am powerless when the press publishes scandals he was supposedly involved in—false testimonies, tales of women who claim to have been raped and yet never pressed charges.”

    Note this will you.
    "false testimonies, tales of women who claim to have been raped and yet never pressed charges.”

    He is not a socialist, we never make that claim, neither does he. He made some films critical of society, thats what makes him a target.

    Your comparison with Jimmy Saville is sick and putrid. There is no factual basis for that whatsoever.

    "We used to joke about a French middle aged director getting 10 million to do a film about a 15-year-old falling in love with a middle-aged film director. And then of course during shooting the 15-year-old would have an affair with the middle-aged film director. At times, film budgets for European films seemed like procurement money.'

    Did you joke about that ? I never did. Stop projecting.

    This "theory" of all the critical and creative US and European directors being pedophiles, maybe running pedophile rings ? is as BS and reactionary as infowanker an sallywoofwoofs far right drivel.
