get a signed agreement before even touch a girl.

you don't know if they really want you or just your money.

Only if you're an idiot. If you look like Depardeau, they want your money.

And if you are a great looking guy and think with the wrong head all you want is her HONEY!

With an attitude like that, I’m not sure there’s enough money on earth to get a girl to touch you.

I'm not sure anyone with a stomach that big is capable of doing anything down there.

There are a lot of wealthy “playboy” actors who have never been accused of rape. Don’t be so quick to judge the victim.

What is toxic femininity, in your mind?

I know this is directed at Stranger, but to me it’s women who assume, without complete evidence, that every man who is accused by a woman is guilty.

Pretty good definition. I’d add it is also a tendency to stereotype men while finding the stereotyping of women totally unacceptable.

I have this bizarre notion that we shouldn’t stereotype men, women, different races etc. Bigotry stinks.

Just the way I was brought up and 40-odd years of life experience, I suppose.

If you are a man with money or enjoy even a semblance of fame, have nothing to do with women, especially western women. If your professional capacity dictates interaction, do so concisely, with witnesses and in open areas. Again, interactions should be limited and public.

Anyone ever notice that the women who go on most about toxic masculinity, are also the most extreme examples of toxic femininity? And ever notice how angry they get when you point that out?

Oh yes! So very, very angry. Furious! Livid! Positively reeling.

I'm definitively not laughing about it. I don't find this at all funny. No, definitely not laughing or amused at all. ;)

Depardieu is now a fatty alcoholic who denigrated his country, moving to Russia to avoid paying taxes.

I can understand the plane situation. Quite such a big boy could very well not squish into any class of plane toilet unless it was made for a wheelchair.

Yes, if your parents happen to be lifelong friends with a male actor whom you see as a father figure, make sure that you are never alone with him. 

Well, as wise men say, "don't follow leaders", to which I would add my two cents, "and never trust father figures" (to keep their hands in their pockets in the presence of nubile females because the flesh really is weak).

Why do you think he touched her? This guy is total mess, but because of that is also an easy target for that type of crap.

How can they not list his outstanding performances in Asterix movies? He has always been a bit of a tearaway, though if these allegations are true he has definitely gone too far here.

If a man doesn't know the difference between consensual touch, and sexual assault, then he had better keep away from all women and girls, I agree. he is clearly a danger.

I absolutely agree that you should do that.

If I may suggest the wording, how about: "Do you want me or do you want my money? Check the box."

I am very sure this will aid you in avoiding women...all women, in fact.

Any young woman who allows herself to be alone with an aging star of dubious reputation is asking for trouble or a pay out.

e.g. urinating on a plane because he couldn't be bothered getting up to go to the toilet

Not quite accurate. He was refused permission to use the toilet because they were preparing for take-off. He had prostate problems and simply couldn't wait.

I have been in some bad situations in my youth and the first thing I learned never put yourself into the same situation twice.

I knew this in my early teens. What this actress says happened is far worse than anything I may have had happen, so why would she go back there again?

Because she's not you, has different life experiences, and different reactions, I would imagine.

I am not questioning whether he did it, with everything else he has done it is a good possibility.

But this part is what I don't understand.

The actress accuses Depardieu of having raped and assaulted her at his Parisian home on two separate occasions in August 2018.

Now I am quite aware that victims rarely report especially when the person is as powerful as he is. But to return to his home again after the first time?

And, the ‘parade’ this week continues with ‘Porthos’ - “Live as if you don't care and fart whenever you wish.” On/off screen, wasn’t he always the same ‘character’?
