13201386, To be clear I am not talking about anyone in a subordinate position
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Oct-10-17 06:07 PM
Im not talking about Rose McGowan, Tomi-Ann Roberts, Katherine Kendall or even a Young Gwenyth Paltrow.

I am asking about people that genuinely became power centers in their own right like Gwenyth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Bradd Pitt (or Matt Damon or Ben Affleck assuming they knew about it and said nothing) who continue to work with Harvey Weinstein.

If Quentin Tarantino knows that Harvey Weinstein rapes women, and he does a film with HW, is he an enabler?

Or going back to subordinates, if an assistant arranges a hotel rendezvous for HW and knows that HW will use it as an opportunity to attack a girl, is that assistant an enabler?

I understand while any individual wouldn't come forward alone (regardless of their power) but I guess I am wondering when you cross the line into an enabler when you continue to work with such a clearly terrible person.

When do you move into Joe Paterno terroritory.
