I think the company has some responsibility here as well. It seems they may have turned a blind eye to this behaviour for far too many years.

Powerful white men deny that they are abusers because they see it as a rightful privilege of who they are rather than an abuse of other humans.

What I dont understand is why are women running to newspapers instead of filing police reports after these incidences? I question whether these are smear campaigns. If they aren't, why are they going public with their claims? Democracy means giving each side a chance to speak
-
They aren’t running to the newspapers and it is not just women. The dancers who complained went to management or to the union. The paper found out about it and came to them.
-
Good for them for reporting it to management & their union. Thanks for clarifying-I did (kind of) suspect men might be involved too. This is another example why the Times & Post are disgusting me lately. They are vultures circling to get stories & then victims lose credibility
-
Well, I don’t agree that the victims thereby lose credibility, but I agree that the Times has made some terrible decisions re how it covers this and other stories. In my view it has made some good ones and some spectacularly bad ones.
-
I agree with you in terms of lack of consistency with the Times. My problem is these papers are creating the stories. They sometimes plead with/prey on victims to come forward so they can "break" the story. Once victims go public, it becomes publicity for the papers & themselves
-
True. And then the papers do not necessarily always acts responsibly about consequences to victims, since they are more concerned with selling newspapers. On Harvey Weinstein story though it seemed like reporters were good at protecting those who wanted to stay anonymous.
-
I agree. This is why I get angry with the whole thing. Victims deserve their dignity & respect but they tend to lose it once they go public precisely for the reason you mention (paper wants to sell copies). It becomes marketing. I hate it. Yes Ronan Farrow did an amazing job.

We stepped into a new year but some things are remain same, why? Why we can’t change ourselves and began a new era with new thinking?

You don’t need a court decision to make something a fact.

There had been no trial. Most cases never make it to trial. That’s neither here nor there. If there is a pattern of misbehavior should the employer continue to ignore? Wouldn’t be too smart huh?

"We aren’t encouraged to use our voice to expose the dark side of what is also truly a magical industry for the sake of hurting our father-figure teachers.” Is this 99% of our whole hierarchical world? Dynamics so deeply engrained in us all from birth…a curse to evolve out of!

I believe I saw the names of the former dancers, but unless I missed it haven't seen the name of the current dancer. Who is it?

With all these allegations slowly surfacing in the press. I've always wondered about male pediatricians. Why would any medical student seek a job that is the lowest paying job in the medical profession? A woman I can understand to a certain point but a guy?
