A lot of them rationalized that something else happened, and couldn't bring themselves to speak about it, even to Harvey. Maybe ESPECIALLY to Harvey. And not all of it was fear of having their careers torpedoed. What comes out of it is the sense that keeping quiet and rationalizing is a survival mechanism for these women. I have to wonder if Weinstein knew that and depended on it for his own survival. Bruno gives us an insight into how women process shame and discomfort, even when willingly entered into. When it's FORCED upon you, though... This rerun has especial resonance this week in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein rape victims coming forward.
