Any actor can turn down a role that she or he does not want. Just don't attend the audition or walk out of it. This is all voluntary. Those who accept a role and sign a contract just become part of the cast and do what the director and writers tell them.
Both male and female actors wear gear in these scenes that protects them from too close an encounter with their co-stars. Male actors tie up their "junk" in a sack, sometimes known as a "cock sock." Female actors have other protection for their private parts, sometimes held into place by glue. No "sexual assault" is involved.
Yes...... take off your clothes and pretend to have sex, or you won't get the part.
Yes, I can see where there is no coercion in that dynamic....
Democrats see women without power as their sex toys....
Good grief! You can twist anything, it seems.
First, I don't see where political parties have anything to do with this subject at all. There is no more a correlation between the movie industry and political parties than there is between political parties and dentistry or industrial manufacturing.
Second, in making a movie, the character and the script have already been created. If people want the job, they audition. If they don't want the job, they merely don't audition, or if an actor has such a status in the industry that scripts are offered to him or her, they decline it.
A series, like those on Netflix or HBO, is a different matter. The scripts are generated on an ongoing basis. But the cast members know what's up, and they can refuse it, or quit entirely. I know of at least one actor who quit because he did not want to film a gay scene that was coming up in the next season. But on the same series, an actor (male) who was hired to play a new character that he really wanted to play, had some reservations, but said that he was helped by the husband-and-wife team, which consisted of his leading lady and her husband, who had been her on-screen lover in the series before he assumed director's duties.
None of this has anything to do with sexual assault on women, coercion, or politics. It is entirely voluntary.
When people get the part, they know what they are signing on for and they want it or they would walk away.
