People in power usually get what they want. In the case of Harvey Weinstein, Louis C.K., and the others accused of sexual misconduct, they got what they wanted, including repercussions of their actions. Men are quick to defend their behavior, and leave all the blame to the victim: the women. Here’s a walkthrough of the real problem.

A post by Gordon Tang has led me to address the real issue here: men in power. Some question the women who came forward to testify against men like Weinstein, and asking why they had only spoke up about it now. These men run the film industry, contribute to special causes, just to cover up for their disgraceful actions. Some women said their careers were stopped by these men, as they were devastated by their sexual acts.
Men of power whose acts point towards being malicious try to defend their actions, only make more room for themselves to commit mistakes as they blame the victims for their wrongdoings. We know it all too well that the only reason these women didn’t speak up is because their lives were at stake, and probably the credibility of the industry they belong in. Men in Hollywood still think they work harder than women, mistreating them, and seeing them as sex objects.

There are lots of smart men and women who don’t regard all men to be sexually rude, yet believe that the ones who are most likely behave so, are the ones in power—or the ones thinking they have the power. Women have spoken up and are fighting for their rights more aggressively than ever. We have had enough of this issue, and we’re putting a stop victim blaming and rape culture.
