17 Notorious, on-the-Record Harvey Weinstein Stories

As a heterosexual male with a pretty much failed career in the entertainment industry, I've got a weird perspective on this. I've been fondled and groped by a male in a position of authority, but I just told him no and kind of shrugged it off. The Terry Crews story has me wondering if there's something wrong with me that it didn't effect me in a more negative manner. I was also promised things by a gross person in exchange for sex, so I had the sex. I was given half of what I was promised, and was then told the other half would come with more conjugal visits. I didn't want to be around that person ever again so I just let it go.

If I had been offered a spot in a Bryan Singer casting orgy, I definitely would have taken it. Who doesnt want to be an X-Man? That this is the way things have been (quid pro quo) has been so ingrained in my consciousness that it is just now dawning on me that these things are wrong. I look forward to an optimistic future where roles are given based on talent and merit.

I just feel like I have to completely rewire my brain.

Obviously rape and sexual assault are bad, and I can only imagine worse feeling potentially physically outmatched/threatened as a woman. Any victims deserve all the sympathy and help in the world.
