I have another question. Why is all this about Weinstein and others finally coming out? What changed? It seems strange. Rush had a caller who worked for the NY office and she said maybe money problems which Rush agreed that would cause loss of fear. But I don’t know. Is there more to this story? Is the earth actually quaking under Hollywood’s feet?
I’ve been pondering this. One part is the passion Mr. Farrow has on the subject. As he gets older he really realizes how ghastly it was that his father was allowed by the public due to his power and fame to abuse young girls, including his precious sister. He is brilliant and he got his story together about one of the most KNOWN sickos in the industry. He pushed, and he deserves the credit he is getting. He was stronger and braver and more deeply motivated to stop this than most men.
Another part is the slow comfort in the GOOD for humanity that Bill Cosby’s victims coming out has done. Slowly, America was slapped in the face enough to wake up from “But he’s famous! And funny! And beloved! So he couldn’t have been drugging and raping women for decades!” We had already slowly come aware to the fact that the clergy CAN use their holier prominence to abuse children.
The direction we are going in will prevent more abuse. I am happy deep in my soul that this is occurring. We need to shame all people who truly sexually harass, and come after all rapists and pedos with the law.
