Great article.

Weinstein is redundant.  The details don't matter.  We know the dynamics of abusive personalities, that bullies are common, and that sexual harassment happens to every woman.  

But understanding our normal responses to abusive personalities is vital.  

Whether it's a real wolf or a human predator, our response is flight or fight.  Then we push the memory back and move on.  That's not minimizing, but to not fuhgettaboutit would be to live in fear, which is crippling.

So, speaking to women:  Trust your gut response.  And you don't have to come forward, but tell at least one trusted friend.

To predators:  You don't understand gossip.  Women do.  It's how we protect ourselves and it's powerful.  Don't think you're getting away with it just because you can't see the whispering crowd watching for evidence.

To us:  What's fair is to say what you know and how you know it.  Gossip has its risks, but until somebody has a better idea, ignoring it is what's unethical.
