You can tell someone has real power when they do something that’s obviously wrong, maybe even illegal, for a very long time — and yet they make no effort to hide it whatsoever. In the entertainment industry, Harvey Weinstein is of course one of the most prominent examples. His behavior was an open secret in Hollywood for three decades, to the point they were making jokes about it during the Oscars. But nothing was done about it until just a few years ago.
Unfortunately, the process of taking down Harvey Weinstein involved a much larger, extraordinarily destructive movement called “Me Too,” which did far more harm than good. I won’t recount all of the problems of that particular movement; I’ve discussed all of that before.
