I've been a lurker on this thread but this comment got me.Of course, I am not defending Weinstein if he is guilty, I hope ; he will be in prison for life. These women with whom I am angry wait so long because there is nothing to fear. If there is a crime, all those legal treaties will be invalid. If there is blackmail, there is another crime committed by that woman. If blackmail is for the woman's family, then the family and the woman are taken under protection. I mean, no reason prevents women from going to the police !!! and not a reason to be afraid. they are not ordinary women in countries where they are strong with their reputation. Anyway I think that way. And I have respect for your opinion. HC is not my BFF I just love him as a human. I love his thoughts too
You say you are angry with these women because there is nothing to fear. I actually cannot believe as a woman you have said this. There is everything to fear. Fear of exposing, fear of being so vulnerable, fear of not being believed, fear of power, fear of losing work/family/friends. There is so much that prevents women from going to the police after an assault, be that being believed, going through intrusive tests/questions, facing potentially the accused, not getting a satisfactory result.
You've directed your anger at the women rather than the men.....I cannot believe your comments.
