However, in the case of sexual predators, it seems that shame is a powerful weapon against them, as is public exposure, so it is good to mention Weinstein's and Cosby's and CK's names, and in addition to those they have wronged, it is good to catalog all they are going to lose (their legacies, their fans, their careers). I'm less inclined to name the victims, not because they shouldn't be the focus, but because I feel it is their place to decide how much of themselves and their stories they choose to contribute. My profound respect for the women (and men) who are naming names cannot be measured, and their courage cannot be quantified. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
