This Harvey Weinstein fellow; he's clearly something of a knob.

However, I'm somewhat cynical about the claims of those who felt 'violated' because he opned the door of his hotel room wearing a dressing gown. There seems to me to be an element of overreaction here.

It would appear that hyperbole is the new reason.

The thing is, that industry is full of horrible, ugly men who probably spent most of the first 20-odd years of their lives being rejected by women, so when they finally get a bit of power over women, they exploit it mercilessly. This age-old phenomenon can hardly come as a surprise to anyone, can it?

It's essentially the same as in any other industry you can name, in fact. This is slightly different though, because of Hollywood's oft-stated sanctimoniousness and holier-than-thou .. ness on such issues.
