The phrasing was only up for around 30 minutes, but that was plenty of time to aggrieve a rainbow coalition of fans and commentators, who declared it a bad choice of words at best and a smirky, passive aggressive racist dig at worst. ESPN quickly apologized and fired the contrite headline writer.

After Weinstein, it's time to say no to the cliched line that rape is about power, not sex. The false divide 区分 forgets that for the rapist, it is very much about sex and gives cover to the sex industry. It's one of those slogans that are well-intentioned, and memorable, and utterly wrong: "Rape is about power, not sex." After Harvey Weinstein's conviction last week on one charge of rape and one of a criminal sex act, the phrase predictably made its appearance among the op-eds and commentary. And there are very good reasons for both its existence and its persistence 经久不衰, 长期存在, 长盛不衰. Drawing a hard, sharp line between "sex" and "power" was one of the strategies that the women's movement used in the 20th century to undermine the patriarchal 父系社会的 ( [ˌpeɪtriˈɑrk(ə)l] I. a patriarchal society, system, organization, etc. is one in which men have all or most of the power and influence. II. typical of a patriarch. ) narrative about rape. It has one very significant demerit as a vehicle for women, which is this: rape is, obviously, very much about sex. It's a turn-on for the rapist. If it wasn't, he wouldn't be able to commit his crime. Had Weinstein simply wanted to exercise power over the women he employed, he had plenty of ways of doing it that didn't involve his penis. For the rapist, the sex and the power are indivisible 分不开的, 隔离不开的. Women, as a general rule, are less powerful than men. Less powerful physically (Weinstein's appearance in court as a frail 孱弱的 old man relying on a walker is at contemptible odds with his victims' accounts of him using all his advantages of height and bulk to corner them), but also less powerful politically, financially and socially. When Weinstein's defence argued that his victims were not victims because they needed something from him, his lawyers were making an argument that belonged properly to the prosecution. He could destroy the careers and reputations of women who displeased him, and he did destroy them. What does "yes" even mean in that context? The same question applies whenever sex is turned into a transaction: what does "yes" even mean? When a man pays a woman to have sex with him, or a woman is paid to have sex on camera for the purposes of pornography, what does "yes" even mean if saying "no" would stop her from affording rent or eating a meal? And when a man gets his sexual pleasure from a woman whose consent has been bought – whether that's by directly having sex with her, or by getting off on watching someone else have sex with her – part of that pleasure comes from the power that he enjoys over her. The #MeToo movement sparked by Weinstein's exposure has become a rallying point ( A rallying point is a place, event, or person that people are attracted to as a symbol of a political group or ideal. someone or something that makes people join together to support a person, cause, etc. His promise to improve education has become a rallying point for his supporters. He could serve as a rallying point for unity and independence. an idea, event, person etc that makes people come together to support something they believe in. rallying point for a rallying point for the struggle against apartheid. ) for contemporary feminism, but it's a movement still deeply divided over what gets called the sex industry. There are activists who will condemn sexual harassment in one breath and in the next defend pornography and prostitution, as though they believe that the industries that rely most of all on sexual commodification are somehow uniquely free from abusive practices. The false divide between sex and power enables this dishonesty: by convincing the world that its business is desire, the sex industry has won an exemption from having its abuses of power examined. Cinema's confrontation with its own misogyny has begun, haltingly (halting 犹犹豫豫的, 讲话大喘气的, 结结巴巴的

next. In a halting voice she

halting German. She spoke haltingly of her deep upset and hurt. His mother spoke no English at all (or refused to), and his father spoke English only haltingly.). The fact that Roman Polanski received three César awards – France's equivalent of the Oscars – last week, despite his conviction for unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old, shows how much further that confrontation still has to go. But none of us can pretend to innocence ( I. intransitive/ transitive to behave in a particular way because you want someone to believe that something is true when it is not.

Whatever is left to be enjoyed of those movies, we know what the body count ( body count I. 人数. 个数. a count of the bodies of killed enemy soldiers. II. the number of persons involved in a particular activity.) was. Now do that sum for every business that makes its money from female flesh.

These platforms often had wheels so that the artillery pieces could be moved more easily.

The gun carriage has also been used for the funerals of previous monarchs, including those of King Edward VII, King George V and King George VI. It was also used for the funerals of the Queen's first prime minister, Winston Churchill, and her cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten. In keeping with tradition, the gun carriage will set off at 10:44 a.m. and be drawn by 142 Royal Naval Ratings, who are service personnel, according to the senior palace official. It will then process on the short journey from New Palace Yard to Westminster Abbey, which will be lined by the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. The procession will be led by a massed Pipes & Drums of Scottish and Irish Regiments, the Brigade of Gurkhas, and the Royal Air Force with musicians numbering 200 in total. The King, royal family members, and members of both households of the monarch and Prince of Wales will follow directly behind the coffin. For the journey, the coffin will be flanked by the bearer party, pallbearers found from service equerries to the Queen, in addition to detachments of The King's Body Guards of The Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, The Yeomen of the Guard and the Royal Company of Archers. The funeral service: The service will be conducted by the Rev. David Hoyle, the Dean of Westminster, at Westminster Abbey, starting at 11 a.m. (6 a.m. ET). UK Prime Minister Liz Truss and Patricia Scotland, the Commonwealth Secretary General, will read lessons. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will deliver a sermon. Towards the end of the service, at around 11:55 a.m., the Last Post will sound before the two-minute silence is observed. The state funeral will be brought to a conclusion by the Queen's Piper, who at noon (7 a.m. ET) will play a Reveille, the National Anthem and a Lament. Following the state funeral, the coffin will be conveyed from the hall to Wellington Arch -- again with King Charles III leading some members of the royal family on foot behind, while Camilla, the Queen Consort and others follow by car -- before making its final journey out of London to Windsor. Its destination: St. George's Chapel, within the grounds of Windsor Castle, where a committal service will take place at about 4 p.m. (11 a.m. ET), conducted by the Dean of Windsor. Prince Philip's funeral service was also held there in 2021. The Crown Jeweller will be present and, prior to the final hymn, will remove the Imperial State Crown, the Orb and the Sceptre, which will later be returned to Tower of London. At the service's conclusion, the Queen's coffin will be lowered into the Royal Vault below the chapel. A private burial service will be held for the family later, and the Queen will be laid to rest with her late husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, at the King George VI Memorial Chapel.
