No need to worry, I certainly think this thread is an appropriate place to discuss this issue, but if the mods disagree, it will be moved.

I'm really upset that men in positions of power continue to enjoy this cone of silence when they abuse women. Not just in Hollywood, certainly, although the "casting couch" cliche exists there for a reason. It's unacceptable, and we owe a debt of thanks to the women who come forward when the silence finally breaks.
