“I think we have difficulty reconciling this fact because we are obsessed with sanctifying the image of prominent men.”
Following the #MeToo movement, only then were women starting to speak against powerful men who had violated them. This is a testament to the fact that many women have no safe avenue to speak out on what they have been subjected to.
Many women only found strength in numbers, they only spoke out because multiple women online were speaking out, sometimes against the same man who has been able to do this over a long time because he has never had to face the music. The personal lives, careers, and images of these men go untainted, while the victims of their crimes live a life carrying this heavy burden.
Often women speak about how much society hates them. I think the ability of men to go on with their lives, with impunity, sometimes supported and protected by society, that women are indeed correct in saying that society hates them.
