Silence - Dylan Farrow

Dylan Farrow: Regarding Cosby, Franco, and all of the perpetrators who won’t face justice (June 30, 2021)

Every journalist who refers to Soon Yi as Mia Farrow’s “adopted daughter” and not just her daughter is complicit in Soon Yi’s sexual abuse. Doing that is a pretty obvious attempt at making her relationship with Farrow seem less than a true mother-daughter one.  In fact, Soon Yi was 5 when she was adopted by Farrow and grew up in the household with Allen as the father figure.  (In Woody’s autobiography he refers to watching Soon Yi “ripen.”)  There’s absolutely no reason an adopted child should be referred to in any way other than the way their siblings are referred to.  

It’s a damning presentation of facts and recollections of events told exhaustively in detail in addition to dissecting Allen’s years-long public relations strategy to discredit his accusers before the resulting “Me Too” professional reckoning.

...that the presence of race does not, in and of itself, prove a charge of racism any more than the presence of eggs proves the intent of making an omelet. On the other hand, the presence of religion almost always proves a charge of superstitious delusion.
