This suggests to me that one reason why he got away with it for so long, why so many people in the profession chose to turn a blind eye, was not just brute negligence towards women, nor fear of the career-destroying consequences for anyone who dared to speak out; it was also because no one wanted to open the Pandora's box of a man like Weinstein's inner world, to look too closely at his greatest fears – any more than they wanted to recognise what, given half a chance, such a man might be capable of.
这让我想到,他之所以能逍遥法外这么久,这一职业上之所以有那么多人选择视而不见,原因之一不仅仅是对女性的粗暴忽视,也不仅仅是那些敢于直言的人担心会毁掉自己的职业生涯,还有一个原因就是,没有人想打开像韦恩斯坦这样的人内心世界的潘多拉魔盒,去太近地观察他最大的恐惧——他们也不想知道,只要有一点点机会,这样的人会做出什么事情来
This puts anyone seeking to combat these forms of violence in something of a double bind, or at least imposes on us the need for special vigilance. If sexual violence arises from a form of tunnel vision, and from burying those aspects of the inner life that are most difficult to acknowledge or see, it is also the case that raising violence to the surface of public consciousness is not always transformative in the ways we would want it to be.
这使任何试图与这些暴力形式作斗争的人陷入了一种双重困境,或者至少使我们需要特别警惕
Perhaps nowhere so much as in the field of sexual oppression does the adage apply that recognising an injustice, and bringing it to the world's attention, is no guarantee that the offence will be obliterated and justice prevail.
也许这句格言最适用于性压迫领域:承认不公正并让全世界都注意到它并不能保证罪行会被消除,正义会得到伸张
Weinstein's February 2020 conviction for criminal sexual assault in the first degree and rape in the third degree, along with his jail sentence of 23 years the following month, are a victory for women. He was, however, cleared on the two most serious charges of predatory sexual assault, which means that one of the women – the actor Annabella Sciorra, who had been the first woman to testify against him in a criminal court – was not believed.
2020年2月,韦恩斯坦被判一级性侵犯罪和三级强奸罪,并在随后的一个月被判23年监禁,这对女性来说是一个胜利
The suggestion by Weinstein's lawyer, Donna Rotunno, that she would be an "excellent witness" as she had spent her whole life "acting for a living" appears to have been effective – as if only liars make acting their career. The idea that this trial dismantled once and for all the image of the "perfect" rape victim – someone unknown to the assailant, certainly not in a relationship with him that continued after the rape, able to recover and recount her experience with perfect clarity almost from the moment it happened – might also have been premature. There is also the risk that the fame that put him under the spotlight might turn out to have served as a distraction from the perennial, "mundane" nature of sexual crime.
温斯坦的律师唐娜·罗通诺建议她将成为一个“优秀的证人”,因为她一生都在“以表演为生”,这似乎很有效——好像只有骗子才会把表演作为职业
