The article seem to suggest that "white males dominating positions of power" and "males committing sex crimes and getting away with it" are the same issue.
Both of these things are problems. The former because it suggests that equal opportunity is a myth, and the latter because criminals are getting away with sexual harassment/assault and even rape. But I don't think they're the same issue.
In my opinion, if we solved the equal opportunity problem, we'd still have to face these three problems:
1. Sexual harassment and assault are considered acceptable behavior by many males.
2. Rich people face a different justice system than poor people.
3. Women face skepticism, hostility, and sometimes reprisals when they come forward with allegations of sexual harassment/assault or rape.
I do wish people would talk about 2 more. All in all, I think it's extremely good thing for our society that women are coming forward and males who have committed sex crimes are paying for it. I just wish they were being prosecuted and not "forced to step down."
