Weinstein was never a hero. He's been a creep for a long time. This is just the time the spark blew the dynamite.

the thing I don't think conservatives understand is that liberals call piece of shit liberal Hollywood elites like this too.

if he turned out to be a conservative, the gop would double down on him and say it must be a false flag or he's all of the women are lying.

Exactly, theres been a massive feminist revolt against Weinstein.

Sone people just really, really need the liberals to have a villain with Clinton out of the picture.

Is it a backlash against liberals, or just against the Hollywood elite who knew all of that was going on and did nothing while they claim to be liberals?
---

the backlash is that certain Hollywood actors are outspoken on politics and have a liberal agenda

and yet they turn out to be sexual assaulters

but not listening to hollywood elites on politics should be a no brainer

We've heard the words "phony liberal" tossed around a lot throughout the years. Most recently, during the 2016 presidential election, we heard Bernie Sanders supporters use that phrase against backers of Hillary Clinton (and sometimes vice versa).

Yet if there is one example of a phony liberal that no one can dispute, it would be Harvey Weinstein.

Just take a look at this recent passage from the Washington Post:

Film executive Harvey Weinstein funded a gender studies professorship in Gloria Steinems name, attended the Womens March, campaigned for the first female presidential nominee by a major party and produced a documentary about sexual assault.

One aspect of this issue that needs to be addressed, though, is just how a liberal like Weinstein can on the one hand profess a strong belief in women's rights while at the same time behaving like an apparent sexual predator.

Cue Psychology Today's description of "cognitive dissonance":

If you've ever told a lie and felt uncomfortable because you see yourself as scrupulously honest, then you've experienced cognitive dissonance. It occurs when your ideas, beliefs, or behaviors contradict each other ...

While Weinstein is an example of an extreme case of cognitive dissonance the gender equivalent of an advocate of racial equality who secretly belonged to the Klan he is still symptomatic of a larger problem.

As an undergraduate student at Bard College in the mid-2000s when that school was widely regarded as one of the most progressive in the country I would regularly see men who preached feminist values by day act like creeps ... or worse.

No they wouldn't. The GOP is full of people that are super quick to wash their hands of any controversy in their own party. A great boon for Democrats is their ability to circle the wagons and defend their own (obviously not in this situation, but in general); you never see Republicans defend people from their own party the way that Democrats do.
