"Congratulations, feminists. The lies you told yourselves during the Clinton era really paid off."



Mark Steyn has more to say about Harvey Weinstein and the Leftists of Hollywood.
This is not just a very starry class-action suit-in-waiting, but also a revealing glimpse of the depravity of a very ugly industry, whose self-congratulation on its own moral superiority is in inverse proportion to the grubby reality. Usually in these kinds of cases, the victims are low-level female employees, poorly paid and with zero clout within the business - see, for example, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, etc. But Weinstein abused some of the most famous women on the planet - Ashley Judd, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rose McGowan, Asia Argento, Angelina Jolie, Heather Graham, Rosanna Arquette... These ladies are not just award-winning actresses but businesswomen with their own companies, UN special envoys, directors and producers - and, in a couple of cases, global brands. Miss Jolie, for example, was a prominent participant at the UN Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict. And yet the genius of liberal, progressive, Democrat Hollywood is that, under Harvey Weinstein and his pals, it can reduce powerful, successful women to the level of the poorest, most vulnerable, minimum-wage entry-level worker in Slick Willie's Arkansas state bureaucracy. Congratulations, feminists. The lies you told yourselves during the Clinton era really paid off.
