Dear mainsteam British media,
What a pity you blanked No is Not a Lonely Utterance!
You might have found some useful tools to help explain not just how but why people protect serial abusers.
Perhaps the following quote is a mirror showing your true face?
“When workplace abuses come out, it is common for people to say it was ‘an open secret’. An open secret is information that people know without it ever being officially disclosed. Some people manage to protect abusers by keeping that abuse as secret from themselves as they possibly can, doing their best not to know the full extent of it. That’s how people can be shocked by a Weinstein whilst participating in the very culture that created him.”
If you want to learn more, that quote appears on 123.
Yes, there are a number of names we can substitute for Weinstein. I had more in there but, surprise, surprise, I was asked to remove them by lawyers concerned with the risk of defamation.
Yes, there are more names. There will be more names.
“You have to keep making the same complaints when the same things keep happening” (page 12).
