To weinstein/the weinstein

As Tom Hanks has said, in years to come there will be a verb and noun from the name 'Weinstein'.

Most likely.

The women who have spoken out about what happened have to be lauded for their bravery.

A number of people have spoken about his bullying behaviour and that 'aura' about him that he exuded.

People were afraid to say a word against him. 'It wasn't done.'

The Weinstein phenomenon exists right across all society, in every grouping, inevery occupation.

That 'aura' that some bullies manage to create, carry with them, that makes people so afraid. It's a 'dark talent'.

The bullying teacher, engineer, garda, doctor, plumber, priest, who gives off that 'aura'. No one can ever put a finger on it or why but everyone is afraid to say a word.

Is it always linked to sexauality?

It might well be. 

Maybe more anon.
