Helen Mirren Talks About Rape....Again
Back in September, Helen Mirren gave an interview to GQ Magazine and admitted that she'd been date raped a couple of times. She also made a bunch of people burn their DVD copies of "Prime Suspect" when she said that if a woman goes to bed with a dude and changes her mind at the last minute, the woman shouldn't take the dude to court if she gets raped. Helen believes it's something that should be worked out between them. You know, with a game of rock, paper, scissors. Something like that.
Well, Dame Helen is talking about rape again! She really knows how to clear a room.
In an interview with a female journalist for The Sunday Times, Helen starts off by explaining why she would rather be interviewed by a dude than by a chick. She says, "No, it’s more that I prefer male journalists because there’s a streak of female journalism — the bitches — who are mean-spirited and nasty because you are another woman and want to make you feel crap. It’s very upsetting. I’m more careful when I’m being interviewed by a woman because, from experience as well as reading articles about other women, I know there is a little stiletto knife hidden behind the back."
Point taken. Helen then gets into everyone's favorite subject: rape.
Helen thinks a mostly female jury won't convict a male rapist, because women are sexually jealous of other women. Helen says that the defense team try to get as many chicks on the jury as possible " because women go against women." She went on to say, "Whether in a deep-seated animalistic way, going back billions of years, or from a sense of tribal jealousy or just antagonism, I don't know. But other women on a rape case would say she was asking for it. The only reason I can think of is that they're sexually jealous."
Vera Baird, a British politician, immediately responded to Helen's comments: "This is just such an ignorant thing to say, to suggest that the defense or prosecution have any involvement in the selection of a jury. I do not know what she is talking about, women hating women. This is a vast generalization based on nothing, but unfortunately it is likely to have a deterrent effect."
Please, please, please, Helen! You're making everyone cry with your personal thoughts about rape. If you're going to talk about this shit, then come prepared with years of research you have done, pie charts, Powerpoint presentations, etc...etc...
I would drink a cup of Helen's lukewarm bathwater, so I'm just going to hang my head and file this under: Not Today, Helen. And then I'm going to go watch the PUPPIES!!! They make everything better.

I think online dating is really nice. I meet many nice people at the millionaire & celebrity dating club ^^^^^^MillionaireLoving. C O M^^ ^^^^. You can find your soul mate at this site. You have many chances to date with a millionaire there.
Sounds like she's having her say after keeping quiet for years.It's awkward...but then within the context of celebrity you must consider that much of what they say comes off half-baked anyway.Not the most flattering pic of her.She's a hot old broad.
"..But other women on a rape case would say she was asking for it. The only reason I can think of is that they're sexually jealous."
Um wtf?? Does she mean they would be jealous of the woman getting raped?? I don't understand where these thoughts come from...I am almost always on my girls' sides but it has nothing to do with the sex of the person i am with whoever I belive is saying the truth...

I love him ♥
She does have a point in a round-about way.
Women do tend to be more backstabbing towards each other than men.
If men don't like each other we just come out & say it.
Women on the other hand tend to snipe each other in the back & are more covert about it.
Okay, back to Puppy Cam ~

To me, you are a slug in the sun. You are an ant in the afterbirth.
This is why celebrities SHOULD NOT TALK! Just stand there, say your lines, look pretty, wear pretty clothes , and ENTERTAIN US. Thats ALL they need to worry about.

"This is just such an ignorant thing to say, to suggest that the defense or prosecution have any involvement in the selection of a jury." No, that's an ignorant thing to say. Of course they do, though it's more a matter of deselecting who's in the jury pool. That's why lawyers in important cases hire pricey jury consultants.
I like Helen's outspokenness, whether or not you agree with her message. It's refreshing to hear an actor with real ideas on something.
you all are just a bunch of JELIIS H8TERZ! ;)

"This is MK. He started it" angel_i
Hmm.
"This is just such an ignorant thing to say, to suggest that the defense or prosecution have any involvement in the selection of a jury."
Ok, I thought they did. Is it different in the UK?
Ima thinking Helen doesn't have any girlfriends.
"Going gray is like ejaculating. You know it can happen prematurely, but when it actually does, it's a total shock." MAH BOO!!!
Yes, women hating women is a broad generalization based on nothing......HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

"They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort"
Um, could someone tell me how one begins a conversation about RAPE when talking to an actress?
I used to like Mirren but she's been coming off as the type of woman who hates other women. Actresses should be seen and not heard!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CROCS are made in the devil's workshop. Yes, they are!
I used to admire her (not worship), but admire her until that interview. I don't know where this dried-up piece of cunt gets the idea that women can get bitchy....why, that's just ridiculous.
Boy, some women must have REALLY fucked Helen over for her to have this bitter attitude.
But she's still a brilliant actress.
the puppies changed locations!
when did this happen? i feel like a shitty puppy follower!
That is The Queen's 'watcha talkin' 'bout Willis?' look.

What? Helen, dear Helen. I love you, but you're sounding a little batshit. Oh, there I go. It must be some primordial instinct of mine to call another woman cuckoo.
