What Happens When We Forget To Tell the Truth About Sex, or: Say It Ain’t So, Matt Lauer, Say It Ain’t So

A classic New Yorker cartoon many years ago captured some wisdom that has been lost in the Age of Weinstein. A dressed up, curvaceous young woman is walking on a street toward a middle-aged husband and wife. The thought balloon over the wife's head is of the young woman's hat and dress alone. The husband's thought balloon shows the young woman's body sans clothes. Men and women live in different sexual worlds!

The coverage of the Weinstein story and the cavalcade of revolting revelations that have followed it (i.e., Kevin Spacey, U.S. Representative John Conyers, Charlie Rose, and now Matt Lauer!) have together reached new heights of hypocrisy. People close to these rich and powerful men have been covering up their depraved "use" of vulnerable women without saying anything until very recently.
