This goes beyond actors, beyond Hollywood.

 

It's important to remember that many of the most vocal women (and some men) speaking out are actors, so that may give the impression that it is just actors/directors/producers right now, but it is definitely not the case-- they exist in every walk of life.

 

Another case in point, Michael Fallon, Secretary of Defense in Great Britain just stepped down and word is, that his resignation is over inappropriate conduct.

Just the other day, three professors at Dartmouth were placed under investigation for sexual misconduct.

And then there is the news chief at NPR...

Women are starting to really come forward in other industries now.  It's simply that the Hollywood stories get more coverage because of all the perceived "star power".

This stuff is just the surface. A lot of people will continue to be afraid to speak up and those who do will be made to pay for it. The best to hope for is that this will help even a few people out there in vulnerable positions.
