I'm wondering how long it took Meryl Streep's publicist to strike exactly the right tone of outrage, disgust, and personal distancing to explain that she hadn't been harassed by Harvey Weinstein.

And it still wasn't enough.

I mean, where is the fun in harassing women who are close to your age ? I'm so stoked to be 30.

Having said that, I can also see how people actually don't know what's going on around them. I don't really know this guy who worked for the company I was working for but I heard the rumour that he assaulted a friend of his. I don't think it went anywhere with charges and it sounded like she just wanted to put it in the past. A few weeks later a friend of a friend asked if I knew this guy and more importantly if I know if he was still around. Turns out that there was another incident and this girl went to him instead of the cops. I think myself, my friend, and this guy are the only ones who know there have been at least 2 woman saying he assaulted them in the a pretty short time period. I don't know either of these woman's names, I am just by some weird coincidence aware of something most people honestly aren't. I'm still not sure what to do about that, I don't know anything else about these people's lives. And that my friends is why so many woman come out with allegations after it's in the news
