Yes, absolutely Weinstein made that choice.
That he was comfortable making that choice, that it was seen as normal or just something that happened, that women felt their careers would be in jeopardy if they spoke up, that demanding additional sex scenes at the last minute wasn’t laughed off the lot...
... these are all symptoms of the broader social normalization of his abuse of power.
This year has been a turning point for pointing out it exists and some consequences for the individuals who do it... but it’s barely scratched the surface
