Fear of retaliation and losing their career. Harvey Weinstein was extremely powerful and could make or break one of these women's careers.
You will find that in every profession. I sure found it in Law Librarianship just fighting for practical materials in libraries for survivors/victims of crimes.
I could never break the blacklist put on me by a very powerful group of law librarians connected with M. Kathleen Price the Law Librarian of Congress from 1990 through around 1995. She had been the Law Library Director at the U of MN Law Library just before that. I had started cataloging all the computer files of the WESTLAW database back around 1988 while under her Law Library directorship. This was a NATIONAL project. Someone was cataloging LEXIS at SUNY-Buffalo while I was doing WESTLAW at the U of MN.
