Maybe these people who are protesting at the Golden Globes should have spoken up long ago

You're generalizing. This is the same tactic done to demean any group of people be it race, color, or creed throughout history.

I'm not a Catholic but know as a fact that the only Catholics who knew for sure about the molestation of boys were those directly involved either by the assaults or the cover ups. The rank and file Catholics were indeed as shocked and outraged as everyone else. I have several friends who are Catholic and several have left the church over the cover up as well as other issues unrelated to the argument. Phony outrage and shock? You know this how?

It's disgusting IMO to demean every Catholic because you happen to hate the church. You could not be more insulting or hateful if you tried.

Back to your original point, let's not assume that those protesting knew about the level of depravity of Hollywood. Those actors so assaulted and those who committed those assaults and those who covered up those assaults for them knew about it. The rest is hearsay.

Most everyone knew about the "casting couch" that has been part and parcel of Hollywood since the silent film era and many folks figured it was a quid pro quo to get an acting job. Despite my awareness of how immoral Hollywood has always been, I admit to being stunned at the level and forcefulness of it.

Many of them felt alone and didn't want to risk their careers. It's very common with sexual harassment and assault, as is the embarrassment associated with coming forward, not to mention people simply not believing them or questioning their motives for saying something.

What you're seeing is a big emergence of the "buddy system" where they are supporting each other and turning it into a movement, because each one of those women knows the difficulty of coming forward.

AMEN, Turnip!
