Great analysis.
I'd say, though, the issue is women aren't being forewarned.
Bush, sr shouldn't be shut in and locked up, and no one wants to put Bush in the same class as Weinstein or Trump, but maybe now that women are speaking out, women who are visiting him will be told how not to act and to keep their distance after greeting him.
Once again, we have a proud, solid man (in this instance), a person with a long career, whose mind is being destroyed.
I saw the movie "Iron Lady" about Margaret Thatcher. Conservatives howled that the movie attempted to show her dementia. But it's part of her story. A woman who defied classism and sexism and tradition and her party and rose to the top -- and is now succumbing to Alzheimer's. I'm liberal, but it still saddens me. And what's happening to Bush, sr saddens me.
