At the time of writing, it's just shy of twenty women making accusations against Harvey Weinstein, the star of Hollywood's longest-running superhero franchise, Pig-Man.
That makes it hard to keep up. So, if you want a single vignette that sums up not just the Weinstein story but the broader cultural environment, I commend this one, from Ronan Farrow's reporting - the story that NBC, covering for Weinstein, declined to run and that he wound up taking to The New Yorker. It's 2010. Weinstein is at the Cannes Film Festival, where he meets the French actress Emma de Caunes (whose dad I was on TV with a zillion years ago). A few months later, he asks Mlle de Caunes to lunch at the Ritz in Paris:
Weinstein told de Caunes that he was going to be producing a movie with a prominent director, that he planned to shoot it in France, and that it had a strong female role. It was an adaptation of a book, he said, but he claimed he couldn't remember the title. "But I'll give it to you," Weinstein said, according to de Caunes. "I have it in my room."
So they go upstairs, and Weinstein steps into the bathroom. He comes out naked, with an erection.

Weinstein donated in the range of $100,001 to $250,000 to The Clinton Foundation. When will those dirtbag Clintons return their dirty money?
I predict the following;
1. The momentum begins to spread thru the entire entertainment industry.
2. Women claiming “victim” will later be properly labeled enabling WHORES
3. Society will have little pity for the “courageous women victims” because they are indeed....WHORES.
Why should they pay back the money.
He was given children through the Clinton Foundation

>>At the time of writing, it’s just shy of twenty women making accusations against Harvey Weinstein,
8 women took payments as settlement to drop the issue (no criminal complaint and do not go to the press).
Wouldn’t that put the number closer to 25 or 30???
4. And therefore, he will fade away with no appreciable loss, because the women will be held responsible, not the man.
You realize if you rape a whore, it’s still rape, right?
No person has the right to force themselves into the body of another person. The attitude you display is the basis for the “she was asking for it” defense.
Now, what if Christ came upon a woman being punished for being a “whore.” I wonder what he would do?
Your comments are as despicable as Weinstein’s actions. Except he knows he’s wrong. You think you are righteous. You are not.
I bet those two perverts have some wild stories.
Well said and thank you.
You’re a sad and disgusting person to post that.
Without a doubt, the most despicable thing I’ve read tonight.
No, it’s sad and disgusting to see that countless women chose to “perform” instead of say NO.
Now, years later, and after getting paid $$$$$$$, they’ll claim “victimhood”
Spare me. They were WHORES of Babylon, they enabled him. Both parties are foul, evil, and deserve what’s coming to them.
Even a proven whore has the right to say “NO” and expect the other person to abide by that statement.
What century did you crawl out of?
You obviously have no conception of the facts of this case. I’m going to save your screen name and gloat like crazy when this pig Weinstein goes to jail.
Well said.
Oh please, these women are like prostitutes that claim long after the fact that they are the victims. Both parties are full of evil and sin, the idea that ALL the blame is Weinsteins is laughable.
Women go daily to Hollywood to hit the casting couch, knowing full well they are selling their souls. To place the entire blame on Weinstein is naive at the very best.
Listening to some hoity toity Gwynneth Paltrow claim decades later that she is a victim, good grief, just is laughable.
She and others knew damn well what they were doing. And now that they spend their eternity dealing with that guilt, drugs, booze to deny their culpability? Yeah right, spare me.
If he's a rapist, he should be trying to post bail.
