Maybe no one cares I guess.
*eta I took 'ladies' out of the thread title, because I thought better of it.
Weinstein is a vile piece of shit.
Over the years, we've seen similar revelations come to the surface with regards to Bill Clinton, Cosby, Ailles, O'Reilly, etc...
My feelings are the same in each case -- it's not industry-specific, partisan-specific, race-specific, or even gender-specific. It's a case of powerful people who feel they're entitled to harass or violate people and have the power/money to threaten/destroy, intimidate, and silence individuals.
I'm glad that more and more female victims are coming forward. Hopefully, it will reduce the number of incidents moving forward.
And, I won't be surprised if more male victims start coming forward. I know people like to joke (or maybe even be serious?) about how men can't be sexually harassed or violated. I strongly disagree and suspect that there are plenty of men who've been physically violated or subjected to sexual coercion (by abusive males and females in power positions) and had their jobs threatened if they refused or talked.
