Harvey
Weinstein has been unveiled as a sexual predator and his career is
ruined. I am a little cynical that this gets at the level of
sexual abuse that I think is prevalent in the motion picture
industry, but beyond that, there is something odd about this story
that I do not understand.
As
I understand it, when one is powerful and wealthy in the
entertainment industry (music, film, television), it is not hard to
get laid, if that is all you want to do. Attractive men and women
make themselves available, so the story goes. This is not true love
of course, and there is always a price to pay, I have heard, and one
needs to be so careful where one plays these days, but if all
you want is sex, then sex is available.
In
other words, I dont get it. I dont get why Mr. Weinstein needed to
be a sexual predator unless it is the specific people (actresses,
etc) that he wanted to bang rather than merely beautiful women in
general. Maybe all it means is that Mr. Weinstein is a sick fuck,
something we knew already.
Thank
you for letting me share my confusion.
