Harassment & assault come in all shapes in sizes. I don't think this is unique to Hollywood - I think it's more pronounced in Hollywood. In Hollywood, there are guys like Weinstein who can literally make & break careers, which gives predators like him real leverage. There is fear for career in other industries, but there aren't many others where you can literally be ruined. If you work in insurance or something, you can just go to a different company. If you want to be an actress, you basically have to work in Hollywood.
One thing that has come out as I've been reading more about this is how pervasive harassment of women still is, in 2017. National awareness really started with Anita Hill, and I'm sure there has been progress, but I think our culture is still one that is at least partly defined by male entitlement.
