Sarah Polley's essay on the costs Hollywood pays for its Harvey Weinsteins -- and her own brave story on an encounter with him -- is a must-read. From Anita Hill to the latest atrocity is a continuum that must be eradicated. How long will it take? Society must decide. To say that all women must be brave reporters of their own encounters is a tall order, especially if society isn't ready to listen, accept, and act. Otherwise, it's just lambs to the slaughter of damaged careers because we're all cowards waiting for the next awards show.

And it ain't just Hollywood.

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
