Last week was an especially bad week for women and politics. The Trump administration is removing the ACA mandate on access to contraception and trying to criminalize abortion after 20 weeks. Yet at the same time a bunch of amazingly brave women slayed a dragon by the name of Harvey Weinstein, a man who has been wreaking his havoc against women for the last three decades. Many, many people in the business knew the rumors and stories and nobody said anything out loud. Why? Mostly out of fear. Fear that he wouldn’t make your movie. Fear that you wouldn’t get the part. Fear that he would tell other people not to hire you. And fear that you’d get sued. Fear is a powerful motivator.

This is a man who was thanked more often than god in Oscar speeches — his power and influence cannot be overstated. And he presented as progressive. Gave money to Democratic donors. Raised money for AIDS. Made and distributed movies that won awards and helped change conversations. He even raised money for a Chair in Gloria Steinem’s name at Rutgers. Yet, at the same time he was a tyrant. Bullying staffers into giving him massages. Asking women to take baths with him. Calling actresses fat pigs. He manspreaded himself across a whole industry, buying the silence of women through intimidation and private settlements and lying to others to keep his secrets safe.

We are all complicit.

But there were a few brave women — Rose McGowan and Ashley Judd and Lauren O’Connor — who called him on his shit. Rose has been on the forefront of calling out this bullshit for some time. And what did she get? Crap from everyone. No one wanted to hear it. No one wanted to do anything. So she was dismissed. She was right and there is blame to go around everywhere. While I didn’t have my own personal Harvey story, I was also afraid to be involved beyond sharing anecdotes about the Hollywood climate, and for that I am ashamed.

But no more. I am getting the feeling that women are done. We are done with taking this shit. We are done with the lack of opportunities. We are done with men paying off people, instilling fear, and using intimidation tactics to hide abhorrent behavior for decades.

But this is not on women to change. It is on men. And I worry that this behavior is so ingrained in the industry that we won’t see enough change. When Vulture reached out to an agent to respond to the news, the person described Weinstein’s predatory behavior as “making some improper advances” and said “it’s much ado about nothing.” The “At Least He Didn’t Try to Rape You” excuse is not a good look — and it’s not an excuse. But this type of behavior has gone on so long that it’s been normalized in the industry. When rituals and behaviors are so widespread they cease to seem abnormal — but, like, when did it become OK for a producer or director or casting agent to ask a woman to lift her blouse so they could see her breasts? Was it 10 years ago? 20? 50? Why did this ever happen and how can we continue to let it happen?

Now that Weinstein has been officially fired maybe people in the industry will feel more confident about calling him out. Lena Dunham and Amber Tamblyn have been tweeting up a storm since the news broke. Props to Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen for getting their voices out early. This morning Meryl Streep released a statement saying she didn’t know and that “The behavior is inexcusable, but the abuse of power familiar. Each brave voice that is raised, heard, and credited by our watchdog media will ultimately change the game.” There have been others who have spoken out — but even more who have remained silent.

After this initial wave is finished, the industry must figure out how to change — these women put themselves on the line, and that has to count for something. Maybe there should be industry standards about not having meetings in hotel rooms. Period. Lots of business happen at festivals in hotels, but this abuse of power needs to be prevented. Casting call sheets need to be looked at and the sexualization needs to be removed. So much of that exists for no reason other than to create pleasure for the person in power, and has nothing to do with the job. Women should be given equal opportunities to men, but they should not be penalized for being women. Let’s also make sure that people don’t get ostracized for speaking up. When women speak out they’re instantly met with huge numbers of people calling them crazy, or a bitch, or an oversensitive feminist. This needs to stop.

Hollywood is certainly not the only place where this type of thing happens — far from it. But Hollywood continues to pretend that it is a mecca for progressive ideals and visions — god forbid you don’t have a plan for how you are going to save the planet — but it’s OK to run a company like a brothel without consent. We need to hold not just the perpetrators accountable, but their enablers as well — people who continue to protect rich and powerful men by having toothless human resource departments handling complaints, and by getting lawyers to pay off all the women who bring complaints. They are perpetrators in their own way, and contribute hugely to this toxic environment.

This is a moment for Hollywood to stand up and show how progressive it is — or isn’t. The world is watching.
