Question

3. In your opinion, what was the common thread between the sexual misconduct that was reported in the following industries: news media (Harvey Weistein, Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, Charlie Rose), politics (Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Roy Moore, Clarence Thomas), art and literature (Paul Gauguin), fashion (Carl Langerfeld), music (R.Kelly, Dr. Luke), entertainment and arts (Bill Cosby, Brett Ratner, Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K.).

Answer 1

The most common thread is that they all have money and some type of platform that allows them to push their conduct under the rug and hide it from the rest of their fans or mass media to maintain their reputation.

Answer 2

They all have power. Also money, without those things they wouldn’t have leverage over who they assaulted. But since they have those two things, it gives them the “upper hand”
