He abused his power, that’s for certain, but he didn’t rape any of those women. They knew exactly what they were doing when they entered into his lair and if they didn’t then they were mentally defective morons and that’s a whole different story. There are only those two choices here because EVERYONE and their neighbour knew about the casting couch - it’s the oldest script in Hollywood! Powerful people all around him looked the other way because they benefitted too out of that arrangement - are they not implicated too, did they not aid and abet his sexual adventures with these younger women? Just more of the same lousy hypocrisy from the rich and famous.
Weinstein has been in prison for over six years. That's far more than enough misery to pay him back for whatever he might have done, and based on the Mann case, it looks as though he might have done a lot less than he's been accused of. Let him go home.
When a woman opens her legs on a casting couch, what is really happening?
An intelligent human being using her ability to be fucked in order to obtain what she wants?
An inferior type of human whose female sexuality renders her always a victim despite acting proceptively, receptively and actively in intercourse?
A human being equally capable of knowing right from wrong, good from bad and directed by a moral compass whether male or female and equally in danger of giving in to temptation in making choices and being in danger of other people using force, power, threat or coercion to surrender or die in the face of it?
No wonder there is no justice system in the world which works anywhere near perfectly.
