Well sometimes victims feel like they can’t come forward, afraid of the rapist etc,but that predator raped another person after them, I’m not accusing them but they know from first hand what that person has done, do you think the first person he rape is also guilty of the other rapes?, I think they didn’t tell anything because they didn’t even believe the guy and their coworkers didn’t tell them, and even if they knew, what could they do, If they couldn’t confirm the allegations without the victims confirming the act, some of the victims are adults and they know who to speak with, the thing is everyone was afraid of their career, and lives that’s why some victims even stayed silent, is only the rapist fault.
So true. Shame shame on those who knew and did nothing are just as dangerous. Very fearful and/or self centeredness - how many people could have been spared the horrors of this man’s and his ilk. They sold themselves out by their silence.
Well, there was enough pressure so that the women who were getting assaulted didn't speak up. Why would it be up to men who have only heard hearsay to come forward about something for which they know no details nor whether it's actually true? Side note, I went to HR at a company I worked for because I felt like a woman there was being verbally abused by our boss (in a sexual manner) and the woman f-ing lost her job! I quit soon after, but it's not always as easy to help as you might think.
I think oftentimes men are ignorant to the facts because they are men and cannot imagine what it is like and how common it is.. how likely it is. they live in a fantasy world where they are told they do not have to think about those things.
For sure. Basics 101, sign # 1. Looking away when stating a lie. They both do it every time they state they didn't know it was going on. People commenting that this is their best acting? It is their worst. Not a deception expert, but I do know the first sign. Eyes look away. This is not only horrible acting, but a clue as to how lazy they are. Not knowing this first rule of truth or deception proves even though getting paid multi millions for this make believe art, they didn't even take a 5 minute crash course on how to not look like you're lying, while lying. Which is essentially what they do for a living. Lazy pedo's! Proly both in the trafficking buis as well!
Brad Pitt is the only real man in this story. He pulled Harvey aside when he was inappropriate with Mrs. Paltrow and told him he would kill him if he ever made her feel that way again. She tells the story on Howard Stern radio. He is my hero. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” - Edmund Burke
@@NemeanLion- yeah, but when Brad Pitt found out @ least, he stood up to (him) maybe his ego, thought that if I told him once (the pig) would stop sexually harassing woman!? So Brad Pitt is the ultimate protector and the ultimate Alpha-male to me!💯💖👈🏾
Zelda Williams Did you think the same thing when he was dating Robin Givens behind Mike Tyson’s back and Brad panicked after he ran into Mike in their driveway?
I have an issue with anyone who says they’ve never heard of the casting couch. Sexual predation has always existed in Hollywood. If we know about it out here, then they knew about it inside.
That’s what I suspect too. However, there are some people who haven’t heard of it, or people who have heard of it but think it is just rumors, I think it applies to some people and not others in the industry. So they go and get a career there, it happens to them, and they are too ashamed to speak out.
Maynard Runkle i hadn't expressed my opinion about the two guys discussion. I was just observing the general theme of the comments. Honestly i find the whole thing to be very complex. sometimes I think the metoo movement may have give too far and ruined genuine men women friendships
I agree. Sadly that is most people. True heroes are few and far between. Unless there is a large number of credible, courageous people with substantial evidence banding together, it is nearly impossible to defeat the system.
Umm Ricky Gervais was paid for the 5th year to host the Golden Globes, sponsored by the same companies that he shames the actors for being paid by. He's a hypocrite himself.
Clooney is good at playing neutral. That's why he is so successful in Hollywood, he is careful with his words. He knows he can't be totally honest. You know what Hollywood producers do to actors who are real authentic and brutally honest?
It is a man's man world,indeed They knew ,they might tot girlz and Guyz, remember a lot of gay work behind the stage ,and casting couch is not a novalty,neither it Began with weinteins
But there were plenty of actresses knew about Harvey being a predator and choose to say nothing or didn't even go to the police either. Everybody put their career first and morals last. I don't believe Harvey is the only one. I believe all of Hollywood women and men are to blame.
Edwina monsoon did the women not also keep silent to keep their careers? What's the difference? This story exposes only one thing; the movie industry is a sleaze industry... They're all in on it and Ricky Gervais was right call them all out
Round Robin so you’re saying Harvey didn’t use his authority as the most powerful Hollywood producer at the time to; manipulate, intimidate, humiliate and then dismiss? Are you saying all those women were doing this for monetary gain? Are you suggesting that the times where he stood in front of people who worked for him, or whom he knew wanted to work for his company etc, and masturbated telling them to ‘just stand there and be quiet’ whilst he pleasures himself. Are you suggesting this isn’t a serial abuser? Just want to clarify that! I’m sure there are people in the world that use their body and sex to advance themselves in whatever capacity, but it would be detrimental to those that do that to then accuse their sexual partners of rape. It would literally be ‘bad for business’ if their business is sex for money and power 🤦🏻♀️
of course this interview ends up being a plug for their movie! There it is! That's what the interview really is about...gotta love it! Strahan kissing their weak asses as well! More coverup, right? I guess their is no honor or Godliness in anything anymore...they spent more time on their movie and families than they did on Weinstein...I timed it
Right! After just now watching this its so dirty they would shamelessly plug their own movie after discussing what Harvey did to these poor women. They're using other people's pain for their own gain.
It's called editing. For all we know it was an hour long interview and they talked about the movie at the begining and then they spent the majority of it swapping meatloaf recipes then asked some other wacky questions. It is the nature of the beast that actors have to do tons of interviews for their movies and if they were to just shut down questions about touchy subjects then everyone would wonder what they are trying to hide.
random recordings You are 100% right. I watched the full interview a while ago, and now all I can find is this cut-up version, while the other parts of the interview are under separate titles as if it were a different interview. See 'George Clooney Matt Damon discuss Suburbicon'. It was in this same interview as you can see there. This is a Shocking editorial trick. I want the full, unedited clip, but it seems impossible for me to find anymore.
Why is it always “what will you tell your daughters to do?” (Sadly this is a requirement of raising a girl) but How about we raise our sons not to treat women like this.
That kind of ideal world unfortunately doesn't exist. There's always gonna be unfit people for parenting having kids. And than these kind of (literal) psychopats or narcissist are made through life traumas. You just have to teach your kids to recognise that kind of vampires and to run away as fast as they can when they see their true colors.
Damon gets creepier every year which is especially sad because he has children. He's foul mouthed and obviously sexist. Just about every interview he's done has varying degrees or undertones of sexism and arrogance. I used to like his films and was a fan until I saw so many interviews with the same undercurrents. What a shame. He is a good actor, in my opinion.
@@jenniferwilcox9759 What could have Matt possibly done wrong?!!!! I don't understanding why people keep bashing him alongside with Clooney in the comments?
@@jeannedarc7533 because people in these comments think because we know all about Weinstein after the fact, that all the actors would have just known everything at the time. The commenters also just “know” that they (the commenters themselves) would have gone and told authorities at the time if it were them because they are “perfect”. I’m sure they’ve never had a situation in their own life where they heard rumours and failed to act on someone who later turned out to be guilty, or even heard rumours which were later found to be completely unfounded. I’ve noticed these type of comments before about other high profile cases, such as Jimmy Saville, people even said in those threads that apparently the whole nation knew what he was up to back in the 80s (truth is the UK population had no clue, and finding someone “creepy” is not evidence).
@@steves1015 Sir, with respect there's a huge difference between the general public not knowing someone was an abuser/assaulter and people who collaborated with that person intimately on creative projects. Paltrow told Brad Pitt what was going on - you think Matty and Georgio never knew anything?
@@huskiehuskerson5300 coz its Hollywood. Everybody knows everything about each other . I use to work in fashion. Hollywood is worse. And there are some things like fear and embarrassment. Also the shame that gets latched on to a person when they have been sexually assaulted. They were young and vulnerable and he was a king. I just hope people stop worshiping these hypocrites.
Not necessarily. My ex husband is an actor & I heard stories but men like this are very good at silencing victims. As a sexual assault victim you wouldn’t believe how many people didn’t believe me even as a child. My heart breaks for anyone who is sexually assaulted. If these men knew and didn’t speak out I hope they learned their lesson.
Question Everything Congratulations, you have declared that millions of people are just wrong about themselves. Plain and simple they are not what they think they are, and that makes perfect sense because you obviously think you’re smart
That’s not a fair statement. Think of the people in your circle. Then one day, a story hits the news about someone in that circle. Your shocked, and start thinking about all past interactions. Did you miss something? Did something happen right in front of you? Is he innocent? Is he guilty? Don’t criticize the people who didn’t hurt someone. But it where it belongs, on the predator.
Roller Girl. ı agree hundred percent. ı can see them doing it, and maybe talking and laughing about it among themselves. "He is a fucking beast!" that type of a thing.
When I tell you, people that you trust the most can be the most manipulative towards you it's crazy. Harvey was one of those people that "believed he had a right to do that", and with that kind of thinking you convince other people of that, cause there is no hesitation in your lies. You might not know exactly what I am talking about if you have never experienced that.
Matt said he hopes his daughters will be “making the right decisions”, implying the victims didn’t do the right decisions... blaming victims all over again. I am sure he didn’t mean that way. Just makes me so upset how much the issue of abuse is misunderstood
I thought that was a bit jarring too, he’s really going to tell his daughters to “take responsibility for themselves” if they’re raped? But they “support victims” okayyyyyy
Although some people commenting are being aggressive, they are right in essence. These women were fine to use their looks to get Hollywood roles until it suited.
Very astute observation.None of Weinsteins victims made bad decisions,as Damon implies..This kind of victim blaming by Matt Damon is way off base.What a horrible statement to make with regard to all the suffering of scores of assault victims who never made any wrong choices,who were innocent.I hope Matt Damon's glib words never come back to haunt him if HIS daughter is raped.I will never watch another Damon film
Yeah completely true, like always, women are not at fault under any circumstances ever if a nasty man rapes them "because they look provocative" "because they use too much make up" ... Like I'm a man and the only thing I worry about every time I leave my house is to get robbed, but a woman has to deal with so much shit 😡
I'm afraid I'm going to have to explain the obvious: In the 90s and the early oughts people were not as concerned about sexual assault as they should have been. Matt Damon knew about Gwyneth Paltrow but he was ignorant and immature and did not let himself believe "coming to an agreement" meant nothing. George Clooney thought Harvey Weinstein was lying about all the women he was with. George Clooney and Matt Damon were acting weird because they felt guilty for sidestepping uncomfortable conversations with Weinstein.
Yeah Matt Damon even had the NY times take out a reporter and piece they were covering about outing Harvey Weinstein’s actions. Not only did he ‘not know’ and side stepped but actively covered up and protected Weinstein and took out anyone who wanted to talk.
Harvey didn’t rape Paltrow. He was making moves on her and forcing her into an uncomfortable situation, which Brad Pitt confronted him on. Harvey telling Clooney he was having affairs with women isn’t Harvey telling Clooney he was raping women. Big difference there. Neither of them to blame for what Harvey was secretly doing and they didn’t know about.
Damon actually said that the way to prevent this from happening to his daughters is by 'teaching them self-esteem and how to avoid situations like this." So basically he is saying that victims of sexual assault have low self-esteem and he is victim blaming.
Not necessarily someone not groomed for abuse or with more self esteem may react differently actually what did Harvey in was how strong and accomplished and outspoken the accusers were had they had no confidence they would be less likely to report it at all. It's like a self defense skill anyone can be attacked not all will fight back. Predators look for more vulnerable targets often too low self esteem is probably part of it they like trauma bonding but Weinstein did not care he thought he was King of Hollywood and any woman could be forced to submit as his unwilling concubine.
Gwyneth Paltrow: It was horrible, he tried to force himself on me. Rose McGowan: He made me do terrible things. Cate Blanchett: He forced himself on me and I was helpless. They all knew.
@@HR-yd5ib they didn't have a choice, they were trapped. Not to mention they were scared and he was a strong angry man. You wouldn't want to provoke him, right?
@@HR-yd5ib on the trapped part: i ment that litarally. They were weaker than him (physically) and he locked doors (litarally), blocked exits and planed ahead (again litarally).
@@HR-yd5ib and in the interview right around the three-minute mark, Matt Damon actually alludes to that by saying that these women basically did not have a high self-esteem and they made bad decisions because he says that of his daughters
"Could you survive a meeting with Harvey, could you stand up to him" I had a boss once that other people told me oh if you stand up for yourself then he will respect you., I immediately started to find another position. I don't need to prove my respect that way.
@Elliott Kim I prove my respect by the way I treat other people and my work ethic. I don't need to earn it standing up to a bully to fuel his ego. I chose not to participate.
Elliott Kim man, your response is truly worthless. Especially since the comment your responding to already states that this person made a decision to become successful and happy by choosing not to prove themselves to someone who doesn’t deserve it.
@Elliott Kim Everyone deserves respect, regardless of position in life. Get over your own ego. Ego is what makes man falter and has made this world negative. Ego only cares for self and is not part of nature or helping others. Things in Nature work together cohesively to sustain life. Respect everyone and help others selflessly, without ego. Stay safe out there.
@Superboy Prime haha. okay well im fine to debate about what i commented. i dont think what i said was wrong. if you have opposing view points, let's hear them.
@Superboy Prime In the society i live in ... as girls... we are told 1 million different things about how to protect ourselves against men when we are walking in the streets, walking to our cars, going out to a bar... it's insane. I don't think men are told those things.
That's not how the process works for most: acting is truth in fiction, becoming a character separated from yourself. Most actors are shy and bad liars in their personal life.
This is what money and power does to you. I've always thought Clooney is "too good to be true", but Matt Damon really seemed like a honestly good guy. Or I'm quite sure he was a good guy, but power corrupts. When you are that privileged for that long pretty much all people lose touch with reality. This interview could not be a more clear example. It's so sad. That's why I honestly don't want to be rich and powerful. I don't want to become a first-class jerk.
Tbh I'm just hearing about this guy now, thank goodness for the algorithm so I can keep getting more info on this. I know I'm no actor but I haven't ever related Harvey Weinstein to miramax either but now I can say I no longer confuse Steve Harvey with him
All of the Liberals in the me-too movement have been silent about Harvey for 30 years. I don't feel sorry for any of them. To me Harvey Weinstein epitomizes Hollywood hypocrisy.
I'm not an actress and even I KNOW about the casting couch. I have heard SO MANY BAD things about Hollywood and the people in the industry. Hollywood is a BAD PLACE.
No, it's never the victim's fault, but as a parent, you have to come out and talk clearly about this issue. The world is full of bullies and ppl with crooked values, and it's important as a parent to teach girls they're worthy, help them to think highly of themselves and make them understand it's safe to come out and talk about any related incident, that this actually happen very often and can come from anybody in any way, shape or form so they can learn to detect it , and all that means we must help'em to build up self steem, so in that particular point, he's right, and also you won't be present when any of those things could actually happen, even if you tried. I have a daughter, and I've suffered myself from harrassment at work before when i was younger, the thing is that after the shock, and i processed it, i never went on silent, i always stood up for myself and had my parents to support me, but it's not easy to overcome the feeling of wondering if it's not something you're just exagerating or overeacting about, just because the system and our culture has silently allowed that kind of behaviour for centuries. The world is changing and it's time to raise our voices if we have gone through this, even when it's subtle.
I don't believe for a minute these two didn't know. They are just as guilty as far as the public believes! So many actors are scrambling to save their own participation. The world is awake!
Oh my gosh, Matt Damon lost me when he said that he was going to teach his daughters self esteem so they can protect themselves from this. That is victim shaming - blaming. So you are saying that women or men who are violated in this manner automatically have low self esteem and are making the choice to be victimized? If the vicitms really made these choices to do these things regardless of their level of self esteem, they would have been consenting individuals - not assault vicitims. And then it is laying it at the potential victim's hands to prevent assault, which is ludicrous. This mindset needs to change for this to change.
I felt the same way. Men like him don't understand that even if you teach your daughters, the world is full of "Weinstien", it's very likely most women has to put up with that crap no matter where they go. How about teaching your sons to respect women when she says no. Not to rape them if they reject you. So typical, why can't women have normal and secure work place?
Well, your interpretation of what he said is not mine. Our daughters need to be protected by their own self esteem and their ability to defend themselves, verbally and physically, because sometimes there is no-one else there to help them. They have to be aware and take all measures possible to stay safe. This is not victim blaming. This is an attempt to help them to not become victims.
@@graceygrumble yes true. lets validate emotions but we all know when we are too emotional we don't think rational for me matt is just being a smart and a good man that sometimes we really need to protect ourselves its not victim blaming its just j a way of protecting future women and I think too that we women needs to accept that its not our 100% fault but at least accept the fact that it really did happen because some are so scared not to fightback but of what I understand with matt I guess it warns him how not to encounter it in the future.Because if we really a pro woman we must use our voice now to remind woman to be strong and do not make things personal. We need to accept that people do have different point of view and do not directly point out some interpretation that this statement is meant to harm or hurt women feelings its just how he think he can prevent bad things to happen.
As the mother of 2 daughters, Matt's right. It's not victim blaming... it's teaching self-protection. As a parent we can't control who or what our children may have to confront as teenagers & adults.. but we can teach them survival skills to save them when we can't be there.
Matt is completely off point when he takes about "trusting his daughters to makethe right decisions".The problem is -so many decisions are made FOR girls and women,and to a lesser degree boys and men. There is not right decision to be made when groped in public or a business meeting, there is no decision to be made when drugged and raped.Such a small percentage of assaults can be prevented by being "smart" as they happen in the context of our every day interactions, which we cannot avoid unless we lock ourselves into our homes,and hope there'll be no home invasion. And what about earning a living? building a network? existing in this society, successful in the social and economic sense?
Most workplaces I've worked in have been ran by bullies. I think it's fair to draw the line and quit at serial abuser, but it's not so easy to quit just because you don't like bullying. High probability you'll just end up somewhere else full of bullies.
"He treated her incredibly respectfully". When he wasn't trying to take off her clothes? That's why I don't believe in the mirage that is Hollywood. 1:45
She actually called him a God! At her Oscar winning speech way after he tried to assault her. It wasn’t only the men who turned the blind eye. Women did too. Her mom was famous and important enough for Gwyneth to speak up maybe she would’ve saved many many other women from been assaulted.
For those of us in the UK, this is the Jimmy Saville case all over again - a hugely powerful celebrity who gets away with anything because nobody has the guts to speak out, and even if they do, they get beat down.

Matt..... women don’t get sexually assaulted because they have low self esteem..... let’s perhaps teach men not to be abusers instead of shifting responsibility to women
There is no "right decision" for a victim to make to stop a sexual assault. The burden is not on survivors for not being able to "protect themselves" and this directly facilitates shame on victims. Children should not be raised on the premise that they should stop a sexual assault from happening. They should instead be raised to not be predators.
It's true! But sometimes you Have to go that route when you aren't given any choices! It is Never a child Or a woman's fault! Who the hell in their right mind would think Children have any choice in the matter?
Hilarious. What a pathetic display of back peddling. So Hollywood celebrities are smart when it comes to who they want you to vote for, but when it comes to Harvey Weinstein, "I had no idea this was happening...gasp!!!" Lol. What a joke.
@Python PogChamp It's easy to say what you would or wouldn't do if you haven't been in a similar situation. Unless you've been in position where whistle-blowing sexual harassment/assault meant losing your lucrative million-dollar career, and you made the right choice, why would I believe your integrity? Walk the walk first. Words of a stranger over the internet mean very little to me.
Well rape is usually done behind close doors. They never said they didn’t know he was a bully and an asshole but that is something completely different than rape. I mean being a mean ass jerk is worlds away from rape
That's it. The temptation to comply to accept things you're not comfortable with would be huge. You only have to see what they have to do in some movies.
"You have to give them a sense of self-esteem, because you're not going to be with them when they have to make a lot of these decisions. You're gonna have to trust that they're gonna make the right decisions and be able to protect themselves". Ah, so sexual assault happens because a woman made a bad decision. Women with low-self esteem make wrong decisions which get them raped. Thanks for clearing that up for us, Matt.
So women should take no responsibility for their well-being and safety, whatsoever. Is that what you call 'empowerment' ? Most assaults by men are against other men. And you know how men deal with that threat? By making smart decisions; avoiding situations that could lead to serious harm, training hours and hours a week for years, to be strong and capable of defending themselves, and maintaining awareness of their surroundings. In other words, taking FULL RESPONSIBILITY for their safety.
When did he say it happens because women make bad decisions? Lmao. The man’s obviously to blame, but sorry to break it to you, but women have to take some responsibility as well. They engage in the act with the promise of a role and a career. The man is to blame for abusing his position of power and putting them in that spot, but that doesn’t mean the woman should just do what he says and not defend herself. What happened to self-worth? What happened to this so called “empowerment?” What’s empowering about doing nothing to defend yourself? Make the right decisions and protect yourself, that’s what Matt’s saying.
@@RShadow12 I"m sorry to break it to you, but you're far away from reality here. Men like you are the excusers, the enablers. But you don't know yet, your day is over. No one even cares what you think. That's why men are full of rage.
Despite I love both of them so much, but I believe that they knew what Harvey was doing at the time and yet they kept silence... which technically makes them indirectly involved, in one way or another, in making Weinstein's sexual crimes last longer. Brad Pitt, according to Gwyneth Paltrow, is one of the few actors who stood up against Harvey and was really prepared on going far in confrontation with him
Indirectly???? They do this video admitting he was a bully. Guenith Paltrow knows their mutual friend Brad Pitt. I'm certain in those social circles they know details of harassment from peers. These two are part of the problem. NO EXCUSE
For the triumph of evil it is necessary for good men to do nothing. They did nothing but what cld they do? If they had showed integrity then they wouldn't have had a career. That was their choice but, being in showbiz, they wanted it all.
@@EmaptenKnowing someone is a hard-ass doesn’t mean you know they’re a rapist and are “part of the problem,” what kind if logic is that? Lmao. You’re boss at work may be a hard-ass, but that doesn’t mean you’re inherently part of the problem just because he’d been secretly raping people without your knowledge.
@@sabinablueramenThen you’re dumb as a box of rocks. There’s literally no evidence that either of them knew. And if you actually use your brain, it doesn’t even make sense. Women were raped with the promise of a career, they got their career, and they kept silent to maintain it. Harvey kept silent to avoid prosecution. Both parties are silent, so how would others know about it? Use your brain.
Exactly and they were probably in on a bunch of those but much harder for those victims to have everyone believe that these 2 handsome Leading Men preyed upon them and it wasn't consensual.
How does this clip go from talking about something SO dark to quickly switching to a fun and bubbly narrative of "Matt and George are still buddies after sooo many years! Yay!!" FFS, give this issue the time and respect it deserves! It's not a filler-piece to make you feel like you've appropriately covered the news!
I thought this was the height of absurdity too. The superficialness of this whole thing! And then they end on a note of promoting a movie to demonize and guilt white folks. Oh splendid. What would society ever do without fine people like these “entertaining” us??!
I actually respected both of these two until this interview ... lMatt Damon until this one in fact! The answer is to teach your daughters to have more respect for themselves? Um ... really?!? The answer is not to teach your kids (boys or girls) to not abuse others?
Most boys, contrary to your belief, are already pretty aware of the fact that abusing anyone is bad. There are a few monsters like Weinstein, who will exist, regardless of what we do to prevent them from existing. However most people are not like them. The only solution for such people is to bring them out to the light and expose their filth to the world. Till we do that, the best we can do to protect our daughters is to keep them from harm by teaching them to be around people who aren't spreading toxic bs. It isn't victim blaming, it's basic survival instinct
The comments here are so refreshing; it's nice for once to see people not defending someone just cause they're actors. As a CSA, the people who knew but didn't do anything were just as guilty in my eyes.
I like how they promote their movie at the end for a good portion of the interview, true motivation for doing this interview shining through. Hollywood is going to Hollywood.
How awesome would it be if Weinstein gave the list of people who knew to the media? Like he would say if I'm going down I'm taking everyone with me. I bet biggest and most popular stars knew about it.
Yeah I'm sure you're such an upright, moral person that you would change careers entirely based on some rumors about your company's owner. Fuckin' moral circlejerk in the comments by a bunch of keyboard warriors and hypocrites.
Its very easy to pass judgement on others until you look at yourself and count how many times you independently stood up for someone else to confront an aggressor, bully, narcissist, and psychopath. All at the sacrifice of losing your job, life, livelihood, friendships, and family. How many people have you failed in your lifetime human?
I tried to do that at college and suffered months of abuse from everyone, including lecturers. That's what happens. Luckily, no one physically assaulted me.
Hypocrites. Now that it seems safe they come out of the shadow. George Clooney is also acting so morally superior. Those Nespresso ads he‘s been doing are an environmental nightmare. But he made loads of money and can now act superior. Disgusting
nailed it! If you step back and look at life, I wouldn't want to be in these dudes shoes for a minute, with the exception of dolling out money to those who need it. Life is way too short.
@M B Well, yeah, but unless those women were raped, they gave full consent in exchange of income and roles. Now that Hollywood considers all those bimbos too old, too fat or too ugly they now come out to complain of what they had to give up to become famous....
Total bs!.... They both knew what was going on but they kept their mouths shut just to protect their careers. Infact I bet the majority of the actors knew what was going on yet still everybody chose to stay silent!....even some tried to cover the scandals up! Absolutely despicable!

@@TiltNada Yes i agree the women Should have spoken up... But you didn't know what they felt back then Maybe they felt ashamed or scared....

I love Matt Damon but what the heck is he talking about?! I feel like he’ll hang out with anyone and put up with anything to just keep his own peace. He’s been associated with a lot of scumbags.
George is consistently looking to the right and that usually means deceit. And Damon is consistently looking to the right which typically means "imagined" truth. Not remembered. When they are talking about their kids and their movies, their eyes are directed more to the left. Since it's genuine truth about their own lives. They are beyond acting. All of y'all are pretty much right. Good actors huh?
I’m 50 and have seen my fair share of life and I can assure you that the vast majority of people in my experience will stand up for someone......as long as it has no negative effect upon their personal circumstances. They might hate themselves for it but they won’t.
true an *alleged. one can also make the case that since Harvey is, or maybe, was, this titan wealthy powerful figure in Hollywood, many women on the 'me too' movement find now "prime hunting season" for a nice lawsuit pay day. It's a fine line between evidence and "he said she said". Your gut feeling tells you, he has a history of sexual advances toward unsuspecting females. The burden of proof is still not there yet.
I don't blame them for not speaking out... The women it happened didn't speak out either until recently... So what did you expect them to do even if they knew about it??
Seriously just say “I knew about his behaviour but he had so much power and I was complicit in his power, i now know it was wrong and we all make mistakes but it is exposed and this should never happen again, Hollywood needs to look at itself, we need to call out abuse as soon as we see it!”
I cant believe it either.SUCH BAD TASTE, not to mention completely disrespectful and insulting to the victims.I will make sure to boycott these idiots films in the future
What Matt Damon said about self-esteem and his daughters protecting themselves is gross. If he still thinks that way, he really needs to listen to women, take a good hard look at the reality, and get educated. Clooney was a lot better: he said "we're all complicit" and "we're all going to have to be responsible... to make it impossible to happen." I hope that he wasn't just talking about Hollywood because each of us is complicit not around Weinstein specifically but regarding rape culture. If we've been victimized, we're certainly not complicit in those experiences, but outside of that, no matter how well informed one is, no matter how feminist one is, no matter what sex or gender, no matter what our experiences, we have to keep a critical lens on ourselves. It's easy to just condemn others but we've all been conditioned to disregard women so no matter how well intentioned, we all have to admit that it's possible that we ourselves have room to improve. That's especially true for men but being a woman, intersexed, trans, or non-binary doesn't automatically mean that we're free from responsibility for the larger problem of gender inequality.

Well sometimes victims feel like they can’t come forward, afraid of the rapist etc,but that predator raped another person after them, I’m not accusing them but they know from first hand what that person has done, do you think the first person he rape is also guilty of the other rapes?, I think they didn’t tell anything because they didn’t even believe the guy and their coworkers didn’t tell them, and even if they knew, what could they do, If they couldn’t confirm the allegations without the victims confirming the act, some of the victims are adults and they know who to speak with, the thing is everyone was afraid of their career, and lives that’s why some victims even stayed silent, is only the rapist fault.
So true. Shame shame on those who knew and did nothing are just as dangerous. Very fearful and/or self centeredness - how many people could have been spared the horrors of this man’s and his ilk. They sold themselves out by their silence.
I'd have more respect for them if they just outright said "Yes, I knew about it and did nothing because I wanted to protect my career."
JustLouIt
If you were in their shoes, you wouldn't do shit either.
Well, there was enough pressure so that the women who were getting assaulted didn't speak up. Why would it be up to men who have only heard hearsay to come forward about something for which they know no details nor whether it's actually true?
Side note, I went to HR at a company I worked for because I felt like a woman there was being verbally abused by our boss (in a sexual manner) and the woman f-ing lost her job! I quit soon after, but it's not always as easy to help as you might think.

For sure. Basics 101, sign # 1. Looking away when stating a lie. They both do it every time they state they didn't know it was going on. People commenting that this is their best acting? It is their worst. Not a deception expert, but I do know the first sign. Eyes look away. This is not only horrible acting, but a clue as to how lazy they are. Not knowing this first rule of truth or deception proves even though getting paid multi millions for this make believe art, they didn't even take a 5 minute crash course on how to not look like you're lying, while lying. Which is essentially what they do for a living. Lazy pedo's! Proly both in the trafficking buis as well!
Eli Capers lol how are you not ashamed of yourself for using a rapist’s favorite excuse?
Because he's right.
Brad Pitt is the only real man in this story. He pulled Harvey aside when he was inappropriate with Mrs. Paltrow and told him he would kill him if he ever made her feel that way again.

I have an issue with anyone who says they’ve never heard of the casting couch. Sexual predation has always existed in Hollywood. If we know about it out here, then they knew about it inside.
These two sissies were probably on Harvey's casting couch too. I'm sure the creep went both ways.

women can and do speak for themselves, as they should.
“We knew it all” BUT “we needed him to further our career so...”
I agree. Sadly that is most people. True heroes are few and far between. Unless there is a large number of credible, courageous people with substantial evidence banding together, it is nearly impossible to defeat the system.
That's exactly the reason the women in Hollywood stayed quiet. It's sad on both sides.
@@moreofawave actually most of them spoke up but he filed legal disputes against them and got them to shut up, even with recording proof
Pressure sucks many people would do the same thing in the situation epsically pre mee too Harvey was very powerful and could have ruined their careers
HA! So true!
All of them got slayed by Ricky Gervais in the Golden Globes 2020.
Totally agree.
Love Ricky even more for that.
Umm Ricky Gervais was paid for the 5th year to host the Golden Globes, sponsored by the same companies that he shames the actors for being paid by. He's a hypocrite himself.
Except Netflix, he was pretty nice about them. Maybe cause he has another special with them soon.
Yes they did,deservingly
Clooney is good at playing neutral. That's why he is so successful in Hollywood, he is careful with his words. He knows he can't be totally honest. You know what Hollywood producers do to actors who are real authentic and brutally honest?

But there were plenty of actresses knew about Harvey being a predator and choose to say nothing or didn't even go to the police either. Everybody put their career first and morals last. I don't believe Harvey is the only one. I believe all of Hollywood women and men are to blame.
Why would they say something? What for?
Edwina monsoon did the women not also keep silent to keep their careers? What's the difference?
This story exposes only one thing; the movie industry is a sleaze industry... They're all in on it and Ricky Gervais was right call them all out

they are professional artists - who act /or pretend
You say that as if somehow you know they’re lying. You don’t know anything, stop pretending you do.
The opposite really. They are so bad at lying it's scary.
More like Razzie. Matt had even better acting in that Zoo movie lol.
"Hey let's talk about how these two actors knew about all the abuse but kept quiet to further their careers AND then let's promote their new movie"
Round Robin so you’re saying Harvey didn’t use his authority as the most powerful Hollywood producer at the time to; manipulate, intimidate, humiliate and then dismiss? Are you saying all those women were doing this for monetary gain?
Are you suggesting that the times where he stood in front of people who worked for him, or whom he knew wanted to work for his company etc, and masturbated telling them to ‘just stand there and be quiet’ whilst he pleasures himself.
Are you suggesting this isn’t a serial abuser? Just want to clarify that!
I’m sure there are people in the world that use their body and sex to advance themselves in whatever capacity, but it would be detrimental to those that do that to then accuse their sexual partners of rape. It would literally be ‘bad for business’ if their business is sex for money and power 🤦🏻♀️
of course this interview ends up being a plug for their movie! There it is! That's what the interview really is about...gotta love it! Strahan kissing their weak asses as well! More coverup, right? I guess their is no honor or Godliness in anything anymore...they spent more time on their movie and families than they did on Weinstein...I timed it
This is kind of disgusting.
Yeah, let's talk about the brutal attacks on women then we will plug our next big project. Like what the hell?!?!
Right! After just now watching this its so dirty they would shamelessly plug their own movie after discussing what Harvey did to these poor women. They're using other people's pain for their own gain.
Ashleyls17 yep
It's called editing. For all we know it was an hour long interview and they talked about the movie at the begining and then they spent the majority of it swapping meatloaf recipes then asked some other wacky questions. It is the nature of the beast that actors have to do tons of interviews for their movies and if they were to just shut down questions about touchy subjects then everyone would wonder what they are trying to hide.

You are 100% right. I watched the full interview a while ago, and now all I can find is this cut-up version, while the other parts of the interview are under separate titles as if it were a different interview.

The interview was probably an hour long. Then they cut it down to 10 minutes.
"He didn't do it out in the open"
Gheez, Matt, you think? Thanks for that insight.
Damon gets creepier every year which is especially sad because he has children. He's foul mouthed and obviously sexist. Just about every interview he's done has varying degrees or undertones of sexism and arrogance. I used to like his films and was a fan until I saw so many interviews with the same undercurrents. What a shame. He is a good actor, in my opinion.
@@jenniferwilcox9759 What could have Matt possibly done wrong?!!!! I don't understanding why people keep bashing him alongside with Clooney in the comments?
@@jeannedarc7533 because people in these comments think because we know all about Weinstein after the fact, that all the actors would have just known everything at the time. The commenters also just “know” that they (the commenters themselves) would have gone and told authorities at the time if it were them because they are “perfect”. I’m sure they’ve never had a situation in their own life where they heard rumours and failed to act on someone who later turned out to be guilty, or even heard rumours which were later found to be completely unfounded.
I’ve noticed these type of comments before about other high profile cases, such as Jimmy Saville, people even said in those threads that apparently the whole nation knew what he was up to back in the 80s (truth is the UK population had no clue, and finding someone “creepy” is not evidence).

The more I see these Hollywood jerks the better I like President Trump
Those are the people who called Harvey "good friend"
paco ramon they still would if he was found not guilty. Apparently this is how Hollywood works; atleast by the looks of it.
haaykaytee yup exactly
Meryl Streep even called him ‘God’
When I tell you, people that you trust the most can be the most manipulative towards you it's crazy. Harvey was one of those people that "believed he had a right to do that", and with that kind of thinking you convince other people of that, cause there is no hesitation in your lies. You might not know exactly what I am talking about if you have never experienced that.
Right now let’s look at Kevin smith and jimmy kimmel
Matt said he hopes his daughters will be “making the right decisions”, implying the victims didn’t do the right decisions... blaming victims all over again. I am sure he didn’t mean that way. Just makes me so upset how much the issue of abuse is misunderstood
Kevin, there is some anger in your comment. Are you ok? One thing I have to say - whatever hurts you, it is not your fault.
I thought that was a bit jarring too, he’s really going to tell his daughters to “take responsibility for themselves” if they’re raped? But they “support victims” okayyyyyy
Although some people commenting are being aggressive, they are right in essence. These women were fine to use their looks to get Hollywood roles until it suited.
Very astute observation.None of Weinsteins victims made bad decisions,as Damon implies..This kind of victim blaming by Matt Damon is way off base.What a horrible statement to make with regard to all the suffering of scores of assault victims who never made any wrong choices,who were innocent.I hope Matt Damon's glib words never come back to haunt him if HIS daughter is raped.I will never watch another Damon film
Yeah completely true, like always, women are not at fault under any circumstances ever if a nasty man rapes them "because they look provocative" "because they use too much make up" ... Like I'm a man and the only thing I worry about every time I leave my house is to get robbed, but a woman has to deal with so much shit 😡
I'm afraid I'm going to have to explain the obvious: In the 90s and the early oughts people were not as concerned about sexual assault as they should have been. Matt Damon knew about Gwyneth Paltrow but he was ignorant and immature and did not let himself believe "coming to an agreement" meant nothing. George Clooney thought Harvey Weinstein was lying about all the women he was with. George Clooney and Matt Damon were acting weird because they felt guilty for sidestepping uncomfortable conversations with Weinstein.
Yeah Matt Damon even had the NY times take out a reporter and piece they were covering about outing Harvey Weinstein’s actions. Not only did he ‘not know’ and side stepped but actively covered up and protected Weinstein and took out anyone who wanted to talk.
Bingo. Summed it up perfect
Harvey didn’t rape Paltrow. He was making moves on her and forcing her into an uncomfortable situation, which Brad Pitt confronted him on.
Harvey telling Clooney he was having affairs with women isn’t Harvey telling Clooney he was raping women. Big difference there.
Neither of them to blame for what Harvey was secretly doing and they didn’t know about.
You are glossing over the fact that as men Harvey wouldn't have pressured them for sex.
Its not like they didnt want it. They used him and he used them.

And start showing clips and fooling around.What good guys these two are.Good hardworking family men.
I'm being sarcastic.
The show must go on
Damon actually said that the way to prevent this from happening to his daughters is by 'teaching them self-esteem and how to avoid situations like this." So basically he is saying that victims of sexual assault have low self-esteem and he is victim blaming.
Not necessarily someone not groomed for abuse or with more self esteem may react differently actually what did Harvey in was how strong and accomplished and outspoken the accusers were had they had no confidence they would be less likely to report it at all. It's like a self defense skill anyone can be attacked not all will fight back. Predators look for more vulnerable targets often too low self esteem is probably part of it they like trauma bonding but Weinstein did not care he thought he was King of Hollywood and any woman could be forced to submit as his unwilling concubine.

Why would I aim it towards you? You are NOT in Hollywood ARE YOU?
So.....it’s the victims fault? Raise your daughters with self esteem? Wow.....men just don’t get it.
No, it's never the victim's fault, but as a parent, you have to come out and talk clearly about this issue. The world is full of bullies and ppl with crooked values, and it's important as a parent to teach girls they're worthy, help them to think highly of themselves and make them understand it's safe to come out and talk about any related incident, that this actually happen very often and can come from anybody in any way, shape or form so they can learn to detect it , and all that means we must help'em to build up self steem, so in that particular point, he's right, and also you won't be present when any of those things could actually happen, even if you tried. I have a daughter, and I've suffered myself from harrassment at work before when i was younger, the thing is that after the shock, and i processed it, i never went on silent, i always stood up for myself and had my parents to support me, but it's not easy to overcome the feeling of wondering if it's not something you're just exagerating or overeacting about, just because the system and our culture has silently allowed that kind of behaviour for centuries. The world is changing and it's time to raise our voices if we have gone through this, even when it's subtle.

So you are saying that women or men who are violated in this manner automatically have low self esteem and are making the choice to be victimized? If the vicitms really made these choices to do these things regardless of their level of self esteem, they would have been consenting individuals - not assault vicitims. And then it is laying it at the potential victim's hands to prevent assault, which is ludicrous. This mindset needs to change for this to change.
Preach!
I felt the same way. Men like him don't understand that even if you teach your daughters, the world is full of "Weinstien", it's very likely most women has to put up with that crap no matter where they go. How about teaching your sons to respect women when she says no. Not to rape them if they reject you. So typical, why can't women have normal and secure work place?
Well, your interpretation of what he said is not mine. Our daughters need to be protected by their own self esteem and their ability to defend themselves, verbally and physically, because sometimes there is no-one else there to help them. They have to be aware and take all measures possible to stay safe. This is not victim blaming. This is an attempt to help them to not become victims.
@@graceygrumble yes true. lets validate emotions but we all know when we are too emotional we don't think rational for me matt is just being a smart and a good man that sometimes we really need to protect ourselves its not victim blaming its just j a way of protecting future women and I think too that we women needs to accept that its not our 100% fault but at least accept the fact that it really did happen because some are so scared not to fightback but of what I understand with matt I guess it warns him how not to encounter it in the future.Because if we really a pro woman we must use our voice now to remind woman to be strong and do not make things personal. We need to accept that people do have different point of view and do not directly point out some interpretation that this statement is meant to harm or hurt women feelings its just how he think he can prevent bad things to happen.
As the mother of 2 daughters, Matt's right. It's not victim blaming... it's teaching self-protection. As a parent we can't control who or what our children may have to confront as teenagers & adults.. but we can teach them survival skills to save them when we can't be there.
Matt is completely off point when he takes about "trusting his daughters to makethe right decisions".The problem is -so many decisions are made FOR girls and women,and to a lesser degree boys and men. There is not right decision to be made when groped in public or a business meeting, there is no decision to be made when drugged and raped.Such a small percentage of assaults can be prevented by being "smart" as they happen in the context of our every day interactions, which we cannot avoid unless we lock ourselves into our homes,and hope there'll be no home invasion. And what about earning a living? building a network? existing in this society, successful in the social and economic sense?
They decide to be whores, often times. Real talk, G
thye knew and didnt say anything. let's get real. they knew he was a bully.
Most workplaces I've worked in have been ran by bullies. I think it's fair to draw the line and quit at serial abuser, but it's not so easy to quit just because you don't like bullying. High probability you'll just end up somewhere else full of bullies.

She actually called him a God! At her Oscar winning speech way after he tried to assault her. It wasn’t only the men who turned the blind eye. Women did too. Her mom was famous and important enough for Gwyneth to speak up maybe she would’ve saved many many other women from been assaulted.

Clooney tho lmfao "i wanna know more about it", what a load of bull
Dan Ferraz yes lol
To busy social engineering us being a member of council of foreign relations
I call BS on these two.
There is no "right decision" for a victim to make to stop a sexual assault. The burden is not on survivors for not being able to "protect themselves" and this directly facilitates shame on victims. Children should not be raised on the premise that they should stop a sexual assault from happening. They should instead be raised to not be predators.
It's true! But sometimes you Have to go that route when you aren't given any choices! It is Never a child Or a woman's fault! Who the hell in their right mind would think Children have any choice in the matter?
and to avoid predators.
Thus taking a little responsibility for their safety.
It's a sh!tty world, can't expect everything to be ideal, always.
Hilarious. What a pathetic display of back peddling. So Hollywood celebrities are smart when it comes to who they want you to vote for, but when it comes to Harvey Weinstein, "I had no idea this was happening...gasp!!!" Lol. What a joke.
If you were in their shoes you wouldn't do shit if it meant losing your career.
They may be smart but they're not omniscient
@Python PogChamp It's easy to say what you would or wouldn't do if you haven't been in a similar situation.
Unless you've been in position where whistle-blowing sexual harassment/assault meant losing your lucrative million-dollar career, and you made the right choice, why would I believe your integrity?
Walk the walk first. Words of a stranger over the internet mean very little to me.
Well rape is usually done behind close doors. They never said they didn’t know he was a bully and an asshole but that is something completely different than rape. I mean being a mean ass jerk is worlds away from rape
Well Harvey is not gay. HE didn't sexually assault Matt or George, so how would they know?
Poor Hollywood movie stars I really feel sorry them all. None of these people have integrity
Jacebecca Webber don't feel sorry for them. They had chosen to sell themselves for the money and fame. No one forced them
That's it. The temptation to comply to accept things you're not comfortable with would be huge. You only have to see what they have to do in some movies.
Then again, neither does the Catholic church.
"You have to give them a sense of self-esteem, because you're not going to be with them when they have to make a lot of these decisions. You're gonna have to trust that they're gonna make the right decisions and be able to protect themselves". Ah, so sexual assault happens because a woman made a bad decision. Women with low-self esteem make wrong decisions which get them raped. Thanks for clearing that up for us, Matt.
So women should take no responsibility for their well-being and safety, whatsoever.
Is that what you call 'empowerment' ?
Most assaults by men are against other men.
And you know how men deal with that threat?
By making smart decisions;
avoiding situations that could lead to serious harm,
training hours and hours a week for years, to be strong and capable of defending themselves, and maintaining awareness of their surroundings.
In other words, taking FULL RESPONSIBILITY for their safety.
When did he say it happens because women make bad decisions? Lmao.
The man’s obviously to blame, but sorry to break it to you, but women have to take some responsibility as well. They engage in the act with the promise of a role and a career. The man is to blame for abusing his position of power and putting them in that spot, but that doesn’t mean the woman should just do what he says and not defend herself. What happened to self-worth? What happened to this so called “empowerment?” What’s empowering about doing nothing to defend yourself?
Make the right decisions and protect yourself, that’s what Matt’s saying.
He's not being honest here. He knew, they both knew, that Weinstein was a rapist.
@@BWater-yq3jx You're full of bullshit.
@@RShadow12 I"m sorry to break it to you, but you're far away from reality here. Men like you are the excusers, the enablers. But you don't know yet, your day is over. No one even cares what you think. That's why men are full of rage.
Despite I love both of them so much, but I believe that they knew what Harvey was doing at the time and yet they kept silence... which technically makes them indirectly involved, in one way or another, in making Weinstein's sexual crimes last longer.
Brad Pitt, according to Gwyneth Paltrow, is one of the few actors who stood up against Harvey and was really prepared on going far in confrontation with him
Indirectly???? They do this video admitting he was a bully. Guenith Paltrow knows their mutual friend Brad Pitt. I'm certain in those social circles they know details of harassment from peers. These two are part of the problem. NO EXCUSE
For the triumph of evil it is necessary for good men to do nothing. They did nothing but what cld they do? If they had showed integrity then they wouldn't have had a career. That was their choice but, being in showbiz, they wanted it all.
i will never watch any of their movies the same way
@@EmaptenKnowing someone is a hard-ass doesn’t mean you know they’re a rapist and are “part of the problem,” what kind if logic is that? Lmao.
You’re boss at work may be a hard-ass, but that doesn’t mean you’re inherently part of the problem just because he’d been secretly raping people without your knowledge.
@@sabinablueramenThen you’re dumb as a box of rocks. There’s literally no evidence that either of them knew. And if you actually use your brain, it doesn’t even make sense. Women were raped with the promise of a career, they got their career, and they kept silent to maintain it. Harvey kept silent to avoid prosecution. Both parties are silent, so how would others know about it? Use your brain.
Oh BROTHER. If you believe these two pretty boys you're about as nieve as they come
Pfffft....both make me SICK
Unbelievable ....
Exactly and they were probably in on a bunch of those but much harder for those victims to have everyone believe that these 2 handsome Leading Men preyed upon them and it wasn't consensual.

I actually respected both of these two until this interview ... lMatt Damon until this one in fact! The answer is to teach your daughters to have more respect for themselves? Um ... really?!? The answer is not to teach your kids (boys or girls) to not abuse others?
Most boys, contrary to your belief, are already pretty aware of the fact that abusing anyone is bad.
There are a few monsters like Weinstein, who will exist, regardless of what we do to prevent them from existing. However most people are not like them.
The only solution for such people is to bring them out to the light and expose their filth to the world.
Till we do that, the best we can do to protect our daughters is to keep them from harm by teaching them to be around people who aren't spreading toxic bs.
It isn't victim blaming, it's basic survival instinct
All three of these 'actors' know what Hollywood is about. This is just another show...

Yes i agree the women Should have spoken up... But you didn't know what they felt back then

On the other hand these actors knew what's going on yet they ignored the issue on purpose....

George is consistently looking to the right and that usually means deceit. And Damon is consistently looking to the right which typically means "imagined" truth. Not remembered.
When they are talking about their kids and their movies, their eyes are directed more to the left. Since it's genuine truth about their own lives. They are beyond acting. All of y'all are pretty much right. Good actors huh?
No they don't. They always look to the right.

La Turista *alleged. At least from the recordings we have a creep. Not saying it's implausible, innocent until proven guilty.
true an *alleged. one can also make the case that since Harvey is, or maybe, was, this titan wealthy powerful figure in Hollywood, many women on the 'me too' movement find now "prime hunting season" for a nice lawsuit pay day. It's a fine line between evidence and "he said she said". Your gut feeling tells you, he has a history of sexual advances toward unsuspecting females. The burden of proof is still not there yet.

Yes. It was a film press tour, after all 😎
Seriously just say “I knew about his behaviour but he had so much power and I was complicit in his power, i now know it was wrong and we all make mistakes but it is exposed and this should never happen again, Hollywood needs to look at itself, we need to call out abuse as soon as we see it!”
Actors promoting their movie in the same interview discussing Weinstein.
WTF?
HOLLYWOOD.
I cant believe it either.SUCH BAD TASTE, not to mention completely disrespectful and insulting to the victims.I will make sure to boycott these idiots films in the future
What Matt Damon said about self-esteem and his daughters protecting themselves is gross. If he still thinks that way, he really needs to listen to women, take a good hard look at the reality, and get educated. Clooney was a lot better: he said "we're all complicit" and "we're all going to have to be responsible... to make it impossible to happen." I hope that he wasn't just talking about Hollywood because each of us is complicit not around Weinstein specifically but regarding rape culture. If we've been victimized, we're certainly not complicit in those experiences, but outside of that, no matter how well informed one is, no matter how feminist one is, no matter what sex or gender, no matter what our experiences, we have to keep a critical lens on ourselves. It's easy to just condemn others but we've all been conditioned to disregard women so no matter how well intentioned, we all have to admit that it's possible that we ourselves have room to improve. That's especially true for men but being a woman, intersexed, trans, or non-binary doesn't automatically mean that we're free from responsibility for the larger problem of gender inequality.
