      Twitter, allow me a ranty thread of anger about Harvey Weinstein claiming he isn't a rapist and acting the jerk in therapy. https://twitter.com/TomNamako/status/921354392271491072 …

      Looking collectively at all the different accounts of his behaviour, it's clear Weinstein had a favoured MO: honeypot meetings & "massages".

      Obviously he deviated from that behaviour at times - sometimes in more predatory ways, sometimes according to whim - but the core is there.

      The thing about sociopaths, or egotistical asshats devoid of empathy, whatever you call them, is that they feel fundamentally entitled.

      I would imagine that, deep down, the cancerous pearl of Weinstein's ego originally formed around the grit of an old inferiority complex.

          What you've got to understand is that abusers, by their very nature, internally justify their own actions to themselves as acceptable.

          I would lay cash-money that Weinstein thinks he can't be a rapist because, deep down, he thinks rape is the last resort of unwanted men.

          A rapist has to force women into bed; force means the man is undesirable; Weinstein's ego cannot conceive of him that way; ergo no rape.

          In the accounts of Weinstein's assaults I've seen, while he physically overpowered struggling, protesting women, he didn't punch/strike them

          To the victims, that's a meaningless distinction: he was already stronger than them! He was already protected! He still used force!

          But in Weinstein's head, I imagine that distinction is crucial. He doesn't see sexual violence as violence w/out that other "physical" type.

          Sure, they struggled & said no. But all he needs to justify that is a voice in his head that says "women don't really know what they want."

          His transactional expectations were clear. He did the women the favour of finding them fuckable enough to cast; their return favour was sex.

          Let's not delve into the misogynistic cesspit of justifications around why he felt that was just how the industry worked, or should work.

          Sufficed to say, it's a problem unique neither to Weinstein or to Hollywood. Way too many men think this; he just had power & opportunity.

          The honeypot tactic of bringing a woman exec to make his prey feel safe? I'd bet he thought of it like buying a woman a drink at a bar.

          That is to say, as a way to lower his target's inhibitions, either through generosity or making himself seem approachable.

          Men who buy women drinks to purchase their gratitude &/or lowered inhibitions seldom think they're predatory either. It's transactional too.

          Which is the point. Weinstein doesn't think he's a rapist because he thinks he held up his end of the transaction: giving the women roles -

          Weinstein views actresses as self-trading commodities, where "self" is always less vital than his ability - and desire - to buy them.

          Weinstein does not belong in rehab. He belongs in fucking jail. His rape system was extensive and practised, and he thinks it was all okay.

          Weinstein doesn't want to view himself as coercive, because that might imply (to him) that he's not good in bed, or that he's unattractive.

          Weinstein doesn't want sex with him to be an unpleasant but unavoidable evil at best & degrading rape at worst. But that's what he made it.
