Truth be told, probably more then one of those thought the millions she could possibly make would be worth just a few minutes of her time. Not every woman out there is an angelic symbol of feminism. In fact, some are down right unscrupulous, when it comes to using their feminine charms to get exactly what they want.
It doesn't matter if some "aspiring starlet" knew what she was "getting into" or not, some of them were NOT willing to go along with what he wanted so he assaulted them to get what he wanted. If only ONE of these women was raped, it still makes Weinstein a rapist. Call him what he is and don't blame the women for his criminal behavior. I know there are women who are unscrupulous, but that doesn't reduce his culpability in using his power to force women into sex. Any boss who uses his power to get a woman in bed is breaking the law. Plain and simple
