He was a nut, but in the body language thing* extending your hand to shake another person's hand is the submissive move. If you keep your hand close to your body & make the other person "come to you" that's the power move.

*I know it's BS.

Really? Somehow, I was always taught that the person with higher authority (or age) has to initiate the handshake D: ...but not in the "doing it the other way around is an offense" way. It's just a damn handshake.

But then how does that work in a job interview setting (pre-covid) because I've always initiated the handshake at the beginning and end of the interview as a form of greeting and politeness--which is what Winona seems to be doing in this case.

Idk, for me, it was always that when I entered the room, the interviewer or my senior/boss would either open the door and immediately extend the hand, or get up from the desk and extend it before I was even within reach. And as a child, I was discouraged to extend the hand first, as "the one with seniority decides if there will be an introduction and conversation or not". But honestly, I might've understood the whole thing wrong. Because in my Asian background, you are absolutely expected to greet your senior and the elderly first! Unfortunately, as I dislike shaking hands.

Winona added that she had “a couple of difficult experiences” in her 20s with people “who were just blatantly sexually harassing” her, and then “again in my thirties,”

I'm glad that she now feels safe sharing her experience with Weinstein. Hopefully one day she will be comfortable exposing the other creeps who harassed her.

She was definitely right about Little Voice.

Was she supposed to walk in crotch first? What the actual fuck? I hope this man dies a death of a million tiny toothpicks inserted to his gross old ballsack.

it sounds like he was intimidated by her and pissed off about it. i wonder what the Shakespeare in Love situation would’ve been like had Gwyneth not nabbed the role. 🤔😖

either way, i hate that Winona had these experiences but i’m glad she feels safe enough to speak about them.
