Susan Brownmiller on Harvey Weinstein

"The woman's folklore of rape - cases that ever reach a court of law - is an oral history of abuses be men in positions of authority...the producer that preys on a starlet's ambition...these are examples of what men would call seduction...but the imposition...by an authority figure is hardly consensual or 'equal'..."

Susan Brownmiller in Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape, 1975
