I've been watching the Harvey Weinstein stuff with a jaded eye. A lot of people are enjoying this schadenfreude moment and feeling superior about one man's heinous life. There's not a lot of deep diving going on about the larger issues surrounding powerful, predatory men and what women have to do to survive in their spheres of influence. Then I saw this interview with Emma Thompson, who talks about it in cultural terms rather than the relatively small lens of Hollywood. It's bald-faced and fed up. Worth the 11 minutes.
