No. I’m saying the alleged victims here kept their mouths shut for years rather than risk something. This is revealing for two reasons. One, they thought Harvey Wienstien had the power to completely destroy their career (or worse) regardless of any rape charge. Two, who was it they were afraid of? Mean old conservatives? Fox news? Brietbart?

Nope. They were scared of the feminists, the leftist media, and Hollywood progressives. Very interesting how that works.

OK, so far, so good, quite sensible and very possibly correct.

Bwa...? WTF? Where in the blue fuck did that come from? If someone were looking for an example of a non sequitur for a textbook or something, I think they'd be hard pushed to do better than this.

When it comes to any kind of abuse of power, the victims are usually reluctant to speak out unless they're of a similar level of power. Because the first one to speak out will probably be thoroughly ruined and consigned to obscurity. The second and third probably will be too. It's only around the fourth or fifth or sixth that enough people start paying attention for it to make a difference. Most people just aren't brave enough to take that kind of risk, even if they know it's the right thing to do.

This isn't a "left" or "right" issue. The people who abuse power like that are only out for themselves, regardless of which side they are nominally involved with. This is only a feminist issue in that most feminists want more people to speak out if possible, but don't want anyone to feel like they're forced to if they can't handle it, which kinda makes things both better and worse in some ways.
