Recently within many different industries, a lot of people have been coming out with sexual harassment allegations from men of power. It is clear to show that these men abuse their powers as they think they will get away with it as they mainly target vulnerable individuals, also they have the money and connections to cover up their tracts to enable them to get away with it.

Recently, The Pitch Perfect actor Rebel Wilson has claimed that one “male star” who was in a “position of power” pushed her to go into a room alone with him. When reported to the directors and those in charge of the company they told her that she should 'be nice' .This shows that many of these companies know about the sexual assault but keep it on the low to maintain business which I feel is disgusting.

 
She wrote: “I feel lucky that I grew up in a pro-female environment, going to an all-girls high school, and that I have such a strong sense of self and have taken self-defence classes. I had the ability to escape both incidents. I realise not everyone is as lucky. The main question is why do these men in power feel the need to go for these vulnerable girls when there is opportunities to for fill there sexual desire when there is many opportunities else where?

The litany of revelations detailing abuses of power in the entertainment, political and artistic worlds was triggered by a New York Times report in October that accused film producer Harvey Weinstein of sexually assaulting several women. House Of Cards actor Kevin Spacey is also facing investigation in the UK amid allegations of harassment and assault. Spacey responded to allegations that he made unwelcome sexual advances towards a 14-year-old actor, saying he did not remember the incident but if it did happen it was likely “deeply inappropriate drunken behaviour” for which he sincerely apologises. Allowing this to be an excuse for sexual assault to a minor is astonishing, the industry has voided safe guarding of children in order to maintain profits. Finally many people are having the courage to come forward to expose these people and companies are putting on a act as if they didn't know in order to once again maintain profits, for example the Weinstein brothers getting ride of Harvey as if they didn't know to make themselves look good. There has been approx.. 26 'powerful players' who have been accused of sexual assault or harassment

This links back to the topics of masculinity and exploitation of women, these men are using their masculine powers to oppress these women and make them victims of their sexual urges. Also by targeting women who are at the peak of their career enables them to have power over them as they will be the ones to develop their carrers and these girls do not know any better than to just stay quiet.There needs to be more actions taken against these allegations, because these men feel as though it is acceptable to do these things. Within society many only listen to people once they are successful or famous. There are a lot of women who are at the struggling stages of their career who talk about these things but no one will listen to their story.
