Recently, the New York Times revealed that Harvey Weinstein engaged in rampant sexual harassment. There are more women coming forward with their stories of how they were assaulted by Weinstein. I will start this article by saying that what Weinstein did was a disgusting abuse of power. Georgina Chapman has left her husband due to these disgusting allegations. The Weinstein Company board of directors announces that Weinstein is terminated, effective immediately. It’s amazing how this company is better at firing people for sexual harassment than the White House is, but I digress. He also sent a desperate email to people who used to work for him to intercede on his behalf.
It doesn’t matter because Donna Karan and Lindsay already are. Donna Karan thinks that women were asking for it. Lindsay Lohan said that everything that is happening to him is unfair, but then again Lohan said we should give Trump a chance. So I ain’t listening to her.
Moreover, a woman’s clothing has nothing to do with whether she is sexually available. Also, saying that clothing carries this intent is not only wrong, it is offensive and unacceptable. These ideas stem from rape culture, which is a complex of beliefs that encourages male sexual aggression and supports violence against women. Moreover, I want to add that I have men who say that they think about sexual assault now that they have a daughter. You should hate sexual assault whether have or do not have a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, or any woman in your life. I am tired of men only seeing women as people after having a daughter. That just infantilizes the discussion. If you want things to be better for your daughter then do that by trying to make it better for adult women now.
In addition, we all know that he donated 1.4 million dollars to the Democrats, however that was just a sum total of all of his donations since 1990. He was never that huge of a player in Democratic politics. There are many Democrats who are returning his donations and it’s not like Republicans rebuked Roger Ailes who has given Republican candidate 1 trillion dollars in free ads. Moreover, no one wants to talk about how the NRA donated 30 million dollars to Trump’s campaign.
There have been many men and women of Hollywood who have stepped forward and condemned Weinstein’s allegations. Milo Ventimiglia echoed the need for support for women accusing Weinstein. “Men have a great responsibility in general,” he said. Jeff Bridges said this at the “Only the Brave premiere. “It’s important anywhere, any job place no woman should feel objectified, no woman should feel sexualized. It’s 2017 and we need to get over that shit. It’s not cool.” Kate Winslet calls the accusations appalling and disgraceful, yet she’s starring in a Woody Allen film. Matt Damon has spoken out against Weinstein’s accusations, but I don’t really trust what he says. Ben Affleck said he was appalled by Weinstein’s accusations, but recently Hilarie Burton came forward to say that he did grope her on television. Also, Ben Affleck wasn’t that disgusted when his brother Casey was accused of sexual assault as well.

Harvey Weinstein is apparently leaving the country for treatment for sex addiction. But I want my readers to understand that he is not addicted to sex. He is addicted to abusing, humiliating, and violating women. Weinstein is addicted to power and his ability to abuse it to his will. Weinstein did use sexual acts to inflict abuse upon women, but that does not mean that it has anything to do with sex. Sexual assault is about power, which relate to Terry CrewsTerry Crews opening up on Twitter. He opened up about how he was sexual assaulted by a movie exec in front of his wife. This is why sexual assault can happen to a man and a women. If a 6 foot tall and over 200 pound man is scared to come forward, then don’t question why a woman is worried about what will happen to her if she comes forward.
