First Cosby, then Epstein and now Weinstein. The age of predatory millionaires is over. Now to get some British politicians and football players.

@KamiTenchi They're men because wer lived in a patriarchy where men were the ones with the wealth, power and physical strength. Women are no more moral, but have less opportunity and are not driven by testosterone. We might equally observe "Funny how most child murderers are women". It's not because women are worse people, but it's a matter of time spent with kids.

@trublacking8572 The Cosby trial went on for well over a year and the police initially refused to investigate him which allowed him to continue raping women. There IS racism inherrent in the US justice system, but I think you've chosen a dreadful example to make your case.

@highnoon2535 Men have as many casual sexual relationships as they like, and they pay no price, and will even be respected for it, but when women do it, they deserve to be denigrated? Most of Weinstein's victims were not pushing themselves on him for casual sex, and Cosby literally drugged his victims so that they couldn't say no.There's no doubt that some women DO use sex as a tool to get ahead, and if that backfires, I have far less sympathy, but most in these cases were not. Weinstein was a fat, repugnant predator who used his power, his physical strength and his control over these womens' careers to force them into sex. He deserves everything he gets.

@KamiTenchi By what metric would even define "better"? Yes, males have created a disproportionately large amount of the planet's greatest inventions and infrastructure, but women have given ibrth to 100% of its children! ;-) Even in the UK, most child murders are committed by women because most children who are killed are killed by their mothers. Yes, knife violence is a recent phenomenon which may skew that, and I guess testosterone has a big impact, but female gang members are the fastest growing demographic in the UK. The very thing that makes us so successful as a species - our competitiveness and determination to have more is also what makes us so aggressive. Double-edged sword...
