There was also the issue of the sloppy execution of his attempt at Harmless Harvey. Did Weinstein want us to feel bad for him, with his wrinkled shirt, his thinning and graying hair, his gut that sagged over the waistband of his pants? Was he pandering for sympathy, as though the intense public shaming (of his own making, mind you) over all these months had taken its toll?
The producer’s attempt to rehab his almost mob boss-like image from the days of his reign weren’t fooling anyone. A wolf in sheep’s clothing is still a wolf, and it certainly doesn’t help when he’s photographed smirking.
But ultimately, today is not about Weinstein. Today is about the women who never thought they’d see this day come—women like Asia Argento and Rose McGowan who have been vocal about their abuser from the beginning.
As women around the world watch the walk back on social media, affixed to their screens, they feel a glimmer of hope. This is a historic moment, one in which this icky and abusive man stands as a sort of totem for all those other icky men from our collective past—because we all know them.
While Weinstein marches toward the police station, women finally get to march forward.
