 Michelle and I have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein the Obamas said in a statement Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable regardless of wealth or status We should celebrate the courage of women who have come forward to tell these painful stories And we all need to build a culture including by empowering our girls and teaching our boys decency and respect so we can make such behavior less prevalent in the future
