ORIGINAL: JVoV You've been around a while, so you've seen how social media has made it easier to talk about things, and give everyone a much larger platform than they've ever had. She has told people through the years, but now she has the power to tell the world, without being filtered or censored. Now she has other victims to stand with. She wasn't the first of Weinstein's victims, nor the last. But she's been the loudest. I do believe that by McGowan and others sharing their truths, it has inspired many around the world to speak out about their own. So maybe they don't have to be heros, they can just be not victimized any more. And THAT would have been a much better discussion issue than trying to dismiss me with "DS is just victimbashing" which is bullshit². quote:

What I have an issue with is that the authorities could have been told, too. Would the police have failed to take her report? I think not. She might have had trouble actually proving a case, but the accusation would have been out there. quote:

In some cases, people decided to take money and shut up. So what was more important at the moment they signed those NDAs? Their career/money or protecting others? Michael
