If someone hasn't been living under a rock for a number of months, they are likely to be only too aware of what has been taking place in Hollywood. After a producer was accused of harassment and rape, a number of other men were accused of the same thing.
What is interesting about all this is that a number of the men who have been accused supported Hillary Clinton during the last presidential election. It is then as though the only reason all this has come out is because the Clinton family no longer have as much power.
One Big Illusion
If this is put to one side, it can seem as though the truth just happened to come out and that everything is now changing at the top. But if one looks deeper and sees how many of these men supported Hillary, a completely different outlook can arise.
A more accurate way of looking at might be to say that these people are no longer needed, and this is why they have been exposed. Therefore, it is not about doing the right thing; it is simply about removing people who no longer serve a purpose.
Appeasing the Masses
The average person can then come to believe that justice is being served; when in reality, it is probably something that has been allowed to take place. One then has to wonder how many other people are there who are just as bad - if not worse - who are being protected by the powers that be.
If this is the case, it would be right to say that there is absolutely nothing moral about what has taken place. One of the things brings this home is how many people were aware of what was going on and did nothing about it.
The Fallout
As the dust has settled, a lot has been said about how this shows how bad men are as a whole. This is something that some women have come out with and some men have also said the same thing.
However, this hasn't created much of an outcry, and this is due to how men are often portrayed in today's world. In many ways, it is socially acceptable to bash men.

If, on the other hand, a man was to say that "all women are bad", he is likely to have a very different experience. There is the chance that he would be called a "sexist" or a "misogynist", but when a woman says that all men are bad, this is unlikely happen, at least in mainstream society.
