From the reaction of MANY men and some women you would think some people would understand why most women/victims stay silent. That boy who was getting bent over the altar could have spoken a little louder to but didn't for MANY of the same reasons. Let's continue to mock the victims though. Unless it happens to your wife or daughter(s).
Let’s not compare an altar boy getting molested (or worse) to an aspiring actress being hit on in exchange for a role in a new movie.
My point about Paltrow and Jolie wasn’t that they didn’t complain 20 years ago (which I can understand though don’t agree with in most cases), but that they chose to remain silent even after they had made it and had nothing to fear professionally from these apparent monsters who they could have outed long ago.
Yeah, I don't think some 20 year old girl who has dreamed of being in the movies her whole life and runs into a Harvey Weinstein type and doesn't start screaming about it is some kind of villain, or even deserving of criticism. I think it's pretty clear no one would have paid attention and that would have been the end of everything she worked for.
It's people like Meryl Streep and Hillary Clinton who are at least as powerful as Weinstein and were well aware of his proclivities and laughed them off as "Oh, that's just crazy Harvey. He loves his young girls!" while pretending to be the champions of the female gender who are deserving of our scorn.
