So, it is clear to anyone not living in a media bubble that Harvey Weinstein is a fully fledged sexist creep, and I hope that the press storm surrounding the allegations will go further than just destroying his reputation and bring some kind of justice to the victims.
Unfortunately though, as legendary actress Emma Thompson explains in this video, Harvey Weinstein is just the 'top of the harassment ladder', a man representative of a system of exploitative, misogynistic power involving many more men in Hollywood that are yet to be revealed.
PS. The header image is Weinstein with Woody Allen, another "legendary" Hollywood figurehead accused of multiple counts of sexual abuse and exploitation, who "feels sorry" for Weinstein. Of course!
