Yet, for ages, people have touted him as this sensitive, enlightened type.  A "thinking women's sex symbol," if you will.

 

Your job, Mr. Redford, WAS to do something about it.  Not just as a celebrity with enormous clout and box office appeal, but as a basic, decent human being.  It doesn't matter if it didn't "hit close to home," you still should have done something about it (besides "create an alternative," whatever the hell that means).  

 

But you were obviously more concerned with your own damn career than you were with protecting women who were being debased by men you were working with, and for.

 

IOW, Mr. Redford, you were complicit; and so, too, was every other man and woman in H'wood who KNEW what was happening, yet merely looked away.

 

RR doesn't get a pass from me, and he hasn't gotten a pass from me ever since I read about the BTS shenanigans on "The Way We Were" that proved he was just as much the preening diva as Streisand.  He's trash, and I hope his retirement after this latest film will be permanent.

Exactly.  I'm not suggesting the stories about Barbra Streisand are baseless, but I think it's telling how she (and other actresses) get vilified for the same kind of arrogant behavior that their male counterparts in the industry always get a pass for.  If Robert Redford is allowed to act like a jerk because he thinks Arthur Laurents' script makes him look like a wuss, then Streisand should get a pass as well for being overly controlling and demanding.
