Oprah's Golden Globe's Speech--People think the is the solution.

It seems like several powerful women like Oprah and Meryl Streep knew of Harvey Weinstein's behavior, or rumors of his behavior even before 2000. If they would have spoken out back then there is no doubt in my mind people would have taken them seriously. However, I can't say they are definitively part of the problem because as powerful as they are, Harvey Weinstein might have even been more powerful. They might not have wanted to take on a fight they weren't sure they could win. That being said, they still worked with him while still hearing the rumors. They could have stayed quiet, just simply chosen not to associate with him. But it benefited them to have that partnership. They probably comforted themselves by telling themselves they were just rumors, and they shouldn't let rumors get in the way. So are they part of the problem? I wouldn't say they were really part of the problem. Women have had it trained in their brain not to rock the power boat. But it irked me, all the women wearing black to the Golden Globes. Where was this support when Dylan Darrow spoke out about Woody Allen? Or Rose McGowan years ago making allegations against Weinstein? No one asked them to take on a crusade. But a simple "I believe you" would have gone far. I just have a hard time blaming a woman for letting a bad man's behavior continue when they weren't responsible for it in the first place.
