Re: 'Time's Up': Hollywood Women Launch Campaign To Purge Industry Of Sexual Harassers

"Male victims of sexual harassment, like the alleged victims of Kevin Spacey, are not addressed in the open letter, though they write, "We want all survivors of sexual harassment, everywhere, to be heard, to be believed, and to know that accountability is possible."

OK. I get it. I'm willing to assume that MANY more women are targets of sexual harassment, and the MANY more men are the perps. But, let's just make sure we don't brush the "others" under the carpet. Maybe they're are many more men who do not report harassment, BTW. #MeToo #CoreyFeldman

Well, I don't know about that, but soy id DEFINITELY NOT healthy, unless is it fermented, like tempeh. Studies show that female hormones are supported by soy.

Important post, whether hypothetical or not. Although I do agree with Rafi. I believe the Ramba"m supports what you're saying here. See Hil. Megillah 2:17 about junk food and actually providing for the needs of another's seudah. I believe he also supports the idea of getting ones priorities straight, ie. giving too much tzedaqah beyond your means is stupid, etc.

On the years I haven't had the money, I have had to give the minimum, and I accepted that I did the best I could. On the years when I have the money, I try to give more, but not to go crazy.
