I can't argue with any of that. It's all been "known" but tolerated. Look at the catholic church and the shenanigans they pulled - and continue to - because of power and money.
Weinstein, Moore, Spacey, Trump and the list goes on and on. It's not just powerful men either. It's too many men all over society at all levels. Bosses, reporters, fathers, brothers, co-workers... it is pervasive. And a reckoning is long overdue.
I will say that not all men are like this. Absolutely not. There are some very good men. And those very good men need to stand up with the women and say "enough!" to the Trumps, the Weinsteins and the rest giving men a bad name.
And yes there are some women that have engaged in this abusive activity. Women do commit sexual assault - even if no examples can be found in power currently. The sad reality is, however, that on an overwhelming basis on sheer numbers, men are the perpetrators and women are the victims.
It's time to make the laws actually mean something. Instead of giving them a wink wink nod nod type attitude of "boys will be boys".
Passing a law wont do anything to change the behavior. You can only stiffen the punishment once proved in court. If you look at what society has become it's not surprising why this behavior is so rampant.
I suspect there is an aspect of "Caveman" DNA that has always been present but restrained by a persons morality or character. The natural desire to dominate the fairer species or lust if you will.
