There is a reason, after all, that the female stars who first went on the record against Weinstein were older, with their mainstream careers largely over. They could afford to perform the ultimate unruly act—calling attention to a man, and a system, that not only devalued and abused them, but so many other women as well, all in the service of continued patriarchal control—in part because they had so little left to lose. In truth, it’s a bit of perfect justice: that women so devalued by the system would be the ones to help bring it down.
