“If She Hadn’t Put Herself In That Situation…” Women Who’ve Made Excuses For Men’s Bad Behavior

In a similar vein, 69-year-old fashion designer Donna Karen turned her attention to the women who’ve been victimized by Harvey Weinstein for decades rather than the predatory film producer himself. When asked her thoughts on the scandal on the red carpet at the CinéFashion Film Awards on Sunday she said:
“I think we have to look at ourselves. Obviously, the treatment of women all over the world is something that has always had to be identified. Certainly in the country of Haiti where I work, in Africa, in the developing world, it’s been a hard time for women.
“To see it here in our own country is very difficult, but I also think how do we display ourselves? How do we present ourselves as women? What are we asking? Are we asking for it by presenting all the sensuality and all the sexuality?”
