Harvey Weinstein and the Death of 'Feminism'

Roger L. Simon


"You don't need the Harvey Weinstein scandal to know that Hollywood is the world's capital of do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do hypocrisy.  You only need to be breathing.

"From jetting the globe more frequently in private planes than most people go to the supermarket while inveighing against global warming to living in thirty million dollar homes and sending your kids to posh private schools while assailing school choice for the masses to, yes, making movies about sexual assault while assaulting females for decades in the privacy of their offices and swank hotel rooms, Hollywood has done it all!

"And indeed it has been this way for decades and everybody who lives and works here knows it.  The casting couch never went away.  It just moved off the studio lot, for the most part, and went underground, sort of.

"Anyone who takes seriously anything said about politics by Hollywood types -- and that includes those tedious and increasingly unfunny individuals known as late-night talk show hosts -- ought to have his/her proverbial head examined." . . .

"Where is Feminist Hillary Clinton's Condemnation of Creep Harvey Weinstein?"  . . . "She's silent, just as she was when Bill Clinton was accused of doing the same thing. After all, it's the politically expedient thing to do. 

Harvey Weinstein’s Money Shouldn’t Buy Democrats’ Silence  . . . "
Among his biggest beneficiaries are President Barack Obama, whose daughter was an intern with Mr. Weinstein’s company this year. At a career workshop for high schoolers at the White House, where Mr. Weinstein was a guest several times, Michelle Obama called him “a wonderful human being . . ."

Weinstein, Las Vegas and the venality of the left  "Is there anything that more elegantly epitomizes the obscene hypocrisy of the Democrat elites  -- and their slavish servility to the Hollywood left and its money -- than their unconditional worship of sexual predator Harvey Weinstein?  If all reports are true, his depravity has been a known fact for decades.  Still, Democrats like the Clintons, Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, and a host of others gladly took hundreds of thousands of dollars of his money and kept their mouths shut.  These supposed champions of women are nothing but sanctimonious frauds." . . .



. . . "Trump won because a majority of people in between the coasts are sick to death of these self-appointed betters assuming for themselves a different set of rules, a different, more permissive lifestyle, than they decree the rest of us must live by." . . . "This bunch is a blight upon American culture, academia and politics.  They must be defeated."

Late Night Hosts Who Savaged Trump and O'Reilly Were Silent on Harvey Weinstein As Scandal Exploded

Charlie Spiering notes that Weinstein was a frequent visitor to Obama:
