She claimed that Weinstein raped her at Cannes in 1997, and at the festival this year, made a speech referring to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/culture\/made-fashion-police-met-gala\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">star-studded<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> event as a \u201chunting ground\u201d \u2013 a nod to the Weinstein Company\u2019s 2015 campus sexual assault documentary of the same name.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a testament to how far #MeToo has come. In less than a year since Farrow\u2019s report, the hashtag has experienced a groundswell, and turned into a juggernaut that has taken down several powerful men in Hollywood and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/jeetendra-sexual-assault-me-too-bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">elsewhere<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We\u2019ve seen stories of sexual harassment emerge about everyone from the lovable <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/aziz-ansari-sexual-misconduct-consent-master-of-none\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aziz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ansari, to the Designated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/morgan-freeman-sexual-harassment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voice of God<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Morgan Freeman. Kevin Spacey has lost his place on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/satire\/kevin-spacey-houseofcards-netflix-actor-sexual-assault-gay-homosexual-lgbt-harvey-weinstein\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">House of Cards<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(his latest film seems to have garnered only $425), while Weinstein has been reduced to a fairytale monster, roaming the dusty deserts of Arizona, masturbating at vaguely women-shaped cacti.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just when we thought we\u2019d seen it all, Asia Argento has again managed to switch the script. Two days ago, reports emerged that she paid off a well-known <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/daisy-irani-bollywood-child-abuse\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">child actor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Jimmy Bennett, in 2013, after sexually assaulting him, settling a lawsuit between them for $380,000.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The accounts of what happened bear a striking similarity to allegations against Weinstein. According to court documents, Argento met with Bennett, then 17, in a California hotel room, a state where the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/can-we-love-lewis-carroll-in-a-post-metoo-world\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">age of consent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is 18. She gave him alcohol and, like she claims Weinstein did to her, performed oral sex. She had intercourse with him, even sharing pictures of them in bed afterwards \u2013 suggesting that Argento either didn\u2019t know she\u2019d committed a crime, or that she simply didn\u2019t care. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In retrospect, Asia fits what we\u2019ve come to recognise as a profile for sexual predators. She is from a famous Italian film family, achieving accolades for her acting as a child star. In the 2004 film, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which she co-wrote and directed, she starred as a drug-addicted <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/series\/true-crime\/sex-worker-india-mumbai-brothel-prostitution-the-dollhouse-of-disrepute\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sex worker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who dresses her young son (played by Bennett) as a girl to get more clients. After the child is raped by one of her boyfriends, he seduces another. <\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>So who exactly is the \u201cperfect\u201d victim? Is it someone who weeps and cries at the mere mention of assault?<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of the film\u2019s shock value, Argento\u2019s sexualisation of a child in her film throws up a red flag. Is her dark, sexualised aesthetic a little too real, allowing her to hide in plain sight like another Louis CK? Was her success and talent used as an excuse for her behaviour, as has been the case with Woody Allen?<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s difficult to club Argento with the other #MeToo predators, when she was also a #MeToo voice. The movement has already begun changing perceptions of who an abuser can be. But as a Buzzfeed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/nishitajha\/dog-person\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">editorial<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows, we still have rigid ideas of how a victim ought to behave.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAn Alleged Tinder Rape Told On Instagram Stories And The Limits Of #MeToo\u201d, describes a Bangalore-based <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/instagram-snapchat-india-jaipur-social-media-celebrity\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> vlogger\u2019s story of her Tinder date rape from three years ago. The vlogger claimed that the man took nude photos of her, and because she didn\u2019t want to anger him for fear that he would release them, she turned him down politely after the incident and never filed a case. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The accused, in turn, said her reaction was proof that it wasn\u2019t rape, but simply bad sex. It\u2019s a defence we\u2019ve heard before, particularly with the allegations against Ansari, and the story notes that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/consent-aziz-ansari-sexual-assault-me-too\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bad sex<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for women often involves going along with things they don\u2019t want in order to avoid further risk \u2013 to their lives, for instance. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So who exactly is the \u201cperfect\u201d victim? Is it someone who weeps and cries at the mere mention of assault? Someone who, despite the physical and mental trauma, immediately reports the incident to authorities to preserve evidence \u2013 and by extension, does not wait until three years after to talk about it? Someone who goes to the police instead of Instagram stories to talk about his\/her assault? Someone who must necessarily appear <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/daak-naam-bengalis-nick-names-west-bengal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ashamed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the assault, even if she is vocal about assigning the blame to the perpetrator? Someone whose entire life must be defined by the assault? \u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nope, Asia Argento does not fit our profile of what an ideal sexual assault victim should look like. With these narrow, limiting definitions, we overlook the fact that it is possible for the same person to be a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">victim<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as well as a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">perpetrator<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of sexual assault. As people, we are capable of being both <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/real-men-crying-emotional-sensitive-men-vulnerable\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vulnerable<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as well as exploiting that vulnerability \u2013 and the existence of one does not negate the other. If #MeToo has shown us anything, it\u2019s that people are more complicated than the black-and-white labels of \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad\u201d, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/haraami-boss-mukkabaaz-jimmy-shergill-vineet-singh\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">harami<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d or \u201cbechari\u201d \u2013 and that there are far too many victims out there to judge as a monolith.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many have questioned not only Argento\u2019s accusations against Weinstein, but the entire #MeToo movement. Others believe her, but think that as a victim herself, Argento\u2019s crimes are that much worse. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How then do we think of the accused Tinder date, who held up his own experience of being sexually harassed as evidence that he has since reformed? <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the conversation continues, the only certainty we have is not about the validity of #MeToo after the accusations against Argento, or the justifications that so often surround behaviour of victims and perpetrators. As the movement\u2019s founder, Tarana Burke, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/me-founder-tarana-burke-responds-asia-argento-report-1135904\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reiterated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, whether it\u2019s been committed by Asia Argento or against her, the singular philosophy of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/fairy-tales-post-metoo-sexual-harassment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#MeToo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remains intact: Sexual assault, no matter the circumstances, should be wholly unacceptable. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The #MeToo movement has changed our perception of who a sexual abuser can be \u2013 but not our view of victims of sexual assault.
