So you seem to believe that Harvey was a unique villain, where as I am seeing a whole system that is morally bankrupt. He was able to do it for so long because he was in a system that condoned it. Why? is the question, imo. Harvey isn't the only villain in this movie.

Why? Because it's what the powerful can do to those they have power over. "When you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

Why hasn't the disgraced ex-president been held to account over the two dozen charges of sexual assault and the one accusation of rape?

Men using their power to get what they want from women is a major problem in our society but Harvey is a sociopath, a predator and a serial rapist. Unfortunately that men largely have not been held to account for their abuses toward women allowed Harvey, a unique villain, to hide in plain site next to somewhat lesser villains because our culture has allowed toxic masculinity to abound unchecked.

IтАЩve read Catch and Kill, She Said, and AulettaтАЩs recent book on Harvey, if you havenтАЩt I suggest giving them a go I think reading the mountains of victim statements and reports youтАЩll see Harvey closer to how I do.

But without the system's support he doesn't reach that level of depravity. He is not unique, prisons are filled with men like him.
