I mentioned “casting couch” the other night.

We must also consider that it is a fantasy for a lot of men. And fantasies often turn to realities if you have the power and the backing to make the jump without penalty.

Because some men protect other men, even when knowing it is wrong. Due to the fantasy possibly. Also because of the power.

Rat on Weinstein and you either lose your job or are seen as not one of the boys. So fall in line and let it go.

See what happened to Terry Fucking Crews; he’s so jacked, he could have squashed that movie exec that grabbed his package at a fucking public function, but he didn’t. Crews knew that, as a black man, he would have been the one to go to jail had he retaliated right there and he sure as fuck couldn’t go public before Weinstein blew up, because he would have been blackballed.

When something like that happens to a (nice) guy like Crews and he has to basically brush it off in order to stay out of jail and to keep working, shit’s all fucked up.
