Well sometimes victims feel like they can’t come forward, afraid of the rapist etc,but that predator raped another person after them, I’m not accusing them but they know from first hand what that person has done, do you think the first person he rape is also guilty of the other rapes?, I think they didn’t tell anything because they didn’t even believe the guy and their coworkers didn’t tell them, and even if they knew, what could they do, If they couldn’t confirm the allegations without the victims confirming the act, some of the victims are adults and they know who to speak with, the thing is everyone was afraid of their career, and lives that’s why some victims even stayed silent, is only the rapist fault.

Damon actually said that the way to prevent this from happening to his daughters is by 'teaching them self-esteem and how to avoid situations like this." So basically he is saying that victims of sexual assault have low self-esteem and he is victim blaming.

[@annalisavajda252]

Not necessarily someone not groomed for abuse or with more self esteem may react differently actually what did Harvey in was how strong and accomplished and outspoken the accusers were had they had no confidence they would be less likely to report it at all. It's like a self defense skill anyone can be attacked not all will fight back. Predators look for more vulnerable targets often too low self esteem is probably part of it they like trauma bonding but Weinstein did not care he thought he was King of Hollywood and any woman could be forced to submit as his unwilling concubine.

"You have to give them a sense of self-esteem, because you're not going to be with them when they have to make a lot of these decisions.

Women with low-self esteem make wrong decisions which get them raped. Thanks for clearing that up for us, Matt.

[@BWater-yq3jx]

So women should take no responsibility for their well-being and safety, whatsoever. Is that what you call 'empowerment' ? Most assaults by men are against other men. And you know how men deal with that threat? By making smart decisions; avoiding situations that could lead to serious harm, training hours and hours a week for years, to be strong and capable of defending themselves, and maintaining awareness of their surroundings. In other words, taking FULL RESPONSIBILITY for their safety.

[@RShadow12]

When did he say it happens because women make bad decisions? Lmao. The man’s obviously to blame, but sorry to break it to you, but women have to take some responsibility as well. They engage in the act with the promise of a role and a career. The man is to blame for abusing his position of power and putting them in that spot, but that doesn’t mean the woman should just do what he says and not defend herself. What happened to self-worth? What happened to this so called “empowerment?” What’s empowering about doing nothing to defend yourself? Make the right decisions and protect yourself, that’s what Matt’s saying.

It's all very well saying that 'change' needs to occur, or that victims need to feel 'comfortable' exposing monsters, but at the end of the day, the reason victims exist is most often because their abusers have the wealth, connections, or overall sheer power to be untouchable, for at least as long as it takes for them to tarnish or ruin someone's life.

[@vallove4life]

[@SexyG33k]

No, it's never the victim's fault, but as a parent, you have to come out and talk clearly about this issue. The world is full of bullies and ppl with crooked values, and it's important as a parent to teach girls they're worthy, help them to think highly of themselves and make them understand it's safe to come out and talk about any related incident, that this actually happen very often and can come from anybody in any way, shape or form so they can learn to detect it , and all that means we must help'em to build up self steem, so in that particular point, he's right, and also you won't be present when any of those things could actually happen, even if you tried. I have a daughter, and I've suffered myself from harrassment at work before when i was younger, the thing is that after the shock, and i processed it, i never went on silent, i always stood up for myself and had my parents to support me, but it's not easy to overcome the feeling of wondering if it's not something you're just exagerating or overeacting about, just because the system and our culture has silently allowed that kind of behaviour for centuries.

If the vicitms really made these choices to do these things regardless of their level of self esteem, they would have been consenting individuals - not assault vicitims.

I thought this was the height of absurdity too. The superficialness of this whole thing! And then they end on a note of promoting a movie to demonize and guilt white folks. Oh splendid. What would society ever do without fine people like these “entertaining” us??!

[@quincee3376]

Exactly.

[@markusd.7409]

Hypocrites. Now that it seems safe they come out of the shadow. George Clooney is also acting so morally superior. Those Nespresso ads he‘s been doing are an environmental nightmare. But he made loads of money and can now act superior. Disgusting

@M B Well, yeah, but unless those women were raped, they gave full consent in exchange of income and roles. Now that Hollywood considers all those bimbos too old, too fat or too ugly they now come out to complain of what they had to give up to become famous....

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

The Hollywood casting couch applies to men too. I wonder how many times these two did the nasty with Weinstein.

[@sarakearns1516]

What Matt Damon said about self-esteem and his daughters protecting themselves is gross. If he still thinks that way, he really needs to listen to women, take a good hard look at the reality, and get educated. Clooney was a lot better: he said "we're all complicit" and "we're all going to have to be responsible... to make it impossible to happen." I hope that he wasn't just talking about Hollywood because each of us is complicit not around Weinstein specifically but regarding rape culture. If we've been victimized, we're certainly not complicit in those experiences, but outside of that, no matter how well informed one is, no matter how feminist one is, no matter what sex or gender, no matter what our experiences, we have to keep a critical lens on ourselves. It's easy to just condemn others but we've all been conditioned to disregard women so no matter how well intentioned, we all have to admit that it's possible that we ourselves have room to improve. That's especially true for men but being a woman, intersexed, trans, or non-binary doesn't automatically mean that we're free from responsibility for the larger problem of gender inequality.

The comments here are so refreshing; it's nice for once to see people not defending someone just cause they're actors. As a CSA, the people who knew but didn't do anything were just as guilty in my eyes.

Why would it be up to men who have only heard hearsay to come forward about something for which they know no details nor whether it's actually true? When even the women who were getting assaulted didn't speak up. And who knows, even if he did maybe they would have blame them instead, just to save their careers; its harder to help then one might think Side note, I went to HR at a company I worked for because I felt like a woman there was being verbally abused by our boss (in a sexual manner) and the woman f-ing lost her job! I quit soon after, but it's not always as easy to help as you might think. -someone wrote

[@maralm5103]

Total bs!.... They both knew what was going on but they kept their mouths shut just to protect their careers. Infact I bet the majority of the actors knew what was going on yet still everybody chose to stay silent!....even some tried to cover the scandals up! Absolutely despicable!

[@TiltNada]

I think is those women who should have spoken up. Why would the men ruin their career for them? And why would the women wait 15 + years to come out with this.?

[@maralm5103]

@@TiltNada Yes i agree the women Should have spoken up... But you didn't know what they felt back then Maybe they felt ashamed or scared.... Especially that Harvey was very powerful back then, he had lawyers, fame... Etc. So if any woman spoke up against him she would pretty much get her life ruined.... No one would have believed her. On the other hand these actors knew what's going on yet they ignored the issue on purpose.... Listen, i don't expect everyone to be so noble and honorable.... They preferred to protect their carriers rather than speak up against an abuser fine! But don't give me "I didn't know what was going on" crap!!.... At least they should be honest you know.... Cause nobody believe their Bs!

Seriously just say “I knew about his behaviour but he had so much power and I was complicit in his power, i now know it was wrong and we all make mistakes but it is exposed and this should never happen again, Hollywood needs to look at itself, we need to call out abuse as soon as we see it!”

[@anonnon4737]

I am not sure what either Clooney or Damon could do. Clooney said that Weinstein bragged to him about affairs he'd had, no mention of sexual predation. Damon said he knew of the Gwyneth Paltrow story (Weinstein had tried to massage Paltrow and invited her into her bedroom) from Ben Affleck, but after it happened both Affleck and Paltrow continued to work with Weinstein. Paltrow was dating Brad Pitt at the time and Pitt told Weinstein never to touch Paltrow again. What was Damon supposed to do after hearing about the story second hand? Paltrow and Affleck had chosen to continue working Weinstein. Even if they had heard rumours of Weinstein's sexual predation, what could they have done? As they didn't experience it first hand, they couldn't go to the police, as it's hearsay. If they repeated it, Weinstein could have sued them for defamation.

[@michaeladkins6]

The thing with Paltrow was before Shakespeare in Love?

La Turista *alleged. At least from the recordings we have a creep. Not saying it's implausible, innocent until proven guilty.

[@laturista1000]

true an *alleged. one can also make the case that since Harvey is, or maybe, was, this titan wealthy powerful figure in Hollywood, many women on the 'me too' movement find now "prime hunting season" for a nice lawsuit pay day. It's a fine line between evidence and "he said she said". Your gut feeling tells you, he has a history of sexual advances toward unsuspecting females. The burden of proof is still not there yet.

[@darisfilmsdirect4038]

[@ifunenyaisoje9683]

I don't blame them for not speaking out... The women it happened didn't speak out either until recently... So what did you expect them to do even if they knew about it??
