Salma Hayek penned an article about her experience with Weinstein in the NYT, and it's a gut wrenching read. It really speaks to the fear women have about speaking out against abusers, that a pathological creep like Harvey Weinstein was able to get away with this for so long. It makes me angry and sad.
Quote:
We are finally becoming conscious of a vice that has been socially accepted and has insulted and humiliated millions of girls like me, for in every woman there is a girl. I am inspired by those who had the courage to speak out, especially in a society that elected a president who has been accused of sexual harassment and assault by more than a dozen women and whom we have all heard make a statement about how a man in power can do anything he wants to women.
Well, not anymore.
