I’ll try to help you understand what everyone else did.
The Casting Couch was a horrible system that has persevered in Hollywood since the 1920s. It continued because the men and women, straight and gay, were willing participants in it. As an example of how pervasiveness it was, a few years ago, an actress was commenting on her 3d or 4th Oscar. She said “I’m now one of the few actresses who doesn’t have to get down on her knees to get a role. I only know of three others.”
Why weren’t the people who are now touting themselves as victims, and all the others who still remain silent, why weren’t they going public to stop the abuse 20-30-40 years ago.
Every day they remained silent, another young innocent young girl or boy was drawn into the trap, a trap from which there was no escape.
Another horrible part to me was, not just that young women and boys were forced into it, but once in it, they then held themselves up to be portraits of morality and virtue who thought their movie star status gave them the right to lecture us on their far-left politics.

Oh now they're innocent? What happened to your original claim they were all disgusting hookers? Sorry but it's too late for you to make amends for defending the true monsters like Weinstein as you were doing. Your best hope is to get the thread pulled now. Good luck.
This does not excuse abhorrent behavior by pigs like Weinstein, but most of these women made Faustian bargains with their hasrassers. They chose to put up with the harassment and stay silent because they lusted for fame and fortune—which they enjoyed plenty of.
When I was younger I was sexually harassed at work and it never crossed my mind to put up with it. The harassment came from some of my clients of my company. When it happened I immediately reported it to my managers. I was afraid my career might be affected adversely, but I reported the harassment nonetheless.
Many of these women chose to make their Faustian bargains because they wanted to be rich celebrities. That’s what they chose.

Very true. They did it for fame and money. They inadvertently hurt others. They could have stopped the Harveys but their money and fame was more important to them than being a good person. THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
They are no feminists. They are not good people like they pretend to be.
