We live in rape culture. Has been this way for quite some time. Most women in America have been sexually assaulted or at least sexually harassed at some point in life. Dudes are pretty scummy. Men who respect women are in the minority. Just look at PaRD....a lot of guys here genuinely hate women.
Though you can direct this back at women in a way....raising such poor sons with little respect for them.
And then there's one of the two man in QC who are in a scandal.
He's a gay popular TV host and he harassed both women and men, most of his alleged acts were him appearing in varying state of undresses in front of employees and such and saying things you shouldn't say. Like, translating here : You look like you would have a cute penis, are you sure you're not gay? Grabbing a male journalist balls in a party while his girlfriend was standing right next to her.
A lot of his sexual harassment happened with many witnesses. This is not your usual predator who does things behind closed doors where no one can see. I'm not even sure this person understands what he did wrong, I think he must've skipped the whole sexual education/growth an adult person goes through in his or her life.
Not to say what he did is acceptable, to do what he did over 15 years is absolutely indefensible. I just find his actions very odd, there's something not quite right with him. I don't think he quite fit the predator with power profile most abusers/harassers in his position.
To OP : I think the Guy Cloutier case more than a decade ago had more impact in QC. But this back to back is definitely because people were influenced to come out because of the whole Harvey situation. Social media has a way of reaching more and more people because of it's growth of users over the years.
