It took 60 women accusing Bill Cosby for him to get 3-10 years. He got away with it for decades. He’s 81 so his career came, was celebrated, and is gone already, so no one can bemoan “oh, but think of his career!” as a pseudo-defence as to why he should go unpunished. 60 women came forward and he was convicted of 3 counts of assault…

Even the youtubers we all denounced years ago for their assaults have come back, making music, selling a book that takes advantage of the controversy, and earn thousands on patreon so it seems perpetrators of sexual assault are resilient as ever.

This is why women don’t come forward. They receive death threats, character assassinations, are harassed constantly, and all for what? For their assaulters to continue unaffected. 

There are rare instances where something actually happens, like Harvey Weinstein, where Hollywood clawed over itself to go “oh no we don’t stand for that, we need to cut ourselves off from him immediately” to show how proactive they were and yet there are still countless actors out there we know have done horrible shit and continued to be celebrated. They just didn’t get enough news coverage while the #MeToo movement was fresh so there wasn’t any pressure to denounce them.

Moral of the story:
