If I remember correctly, she implies that sexual abuse is the result of pretty privilege and not, ya know, misogyny and power imbalances and all of that. Basically, she blames Weinstein’s predation on the physical attractiveness of his (known) victims. She then goes on to mourn her own career, which she thinks isn’t as fruitful because her contemporaries are more conventionally attractive. Not saying that Hollywood isn’t superficial, but it’s fucked to use someone else’s rape as an opportunity to whine about petty body insecurities. Also, people who don’t fit the standard are assaulted all the time, it’s just that they don’t come forward because society fucking hates them.
