OK guys let's evolve a bit.

Gee Harvey Weinstein, really, you grew up somewhere that didn't give you a basic sense of right or wrong, I mean really.  No one suggested to you that men and women might appreciate the same sense of civility and basic human decency and you were so poorly raised that how to treat women with the same respect was not part of your upbringing.

It might be time for any male wandering around with the same world view as our president and too many of our male leaders like this distasteful movie mogul to pick up the book The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir and give it a careful read.  It may seem a bit out of date but with the type of lizard brain that these mokes exhibit it is probably right on time.  (Careful though, there are some big words in there.)

I do not necessarily consider myself a feminist (I am not even sure what that is) but I am house broken and I have learned to treat women with the same way I hope to be treated.  That includes much more than putting the toilet seat down by the way.

We all know what I'm talking about but we do not talk about it and we should.  It is shameful to have my fellow men treating anyone the way these macho, power players appear to give license too. 

I am recalling a wonderful conversation I had with two Iranian women from Tehran who operated small businesses in Ontario but who also maintained full relationships with there friends and family back in Iran.  We were talking about Iran, and men and women, and burkas and niqabs,  and the wars, and the world, and men and women, and race, and war...as the conversation started to wind down and we returned to our original topic which was men and women and equality and revolution in modern Iran, one of the women gave me a quick nudge and a wink and said  that the final revolution will come and that will be the emancipation of women in Iran and everywhere.

I can only say that if we think ridding ourselves of racial stereotypes is difficult, and it most certainly is proving to be quite a challenge; then obliterating sexual stereotypes will certainly not be any easier.  The world is small and we all have to learn how to live together.  The time is at hand for us to face ourselves and elevate our behaviour. 

I think the only really surprising thing about Harvey Weinstein, and his behaviour, is the fact that we can still act surprised.
