Jane Fonda, actress, activist, friend of the Viet Cong and leotard-clad purveyor of countless fitness tapes, actually blamed “male entitlement” for the disgusting behavior of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Fonda was talking about what people have to do to curtail the kind of behavior Weinstein is accused of when she revealed that she knew about it for a year beforehand. She made the comments during a CNN interview on Thursday with Christiane Amanpour.

“We have to believe the women who come forward, we have to speak out,” she said. “I found out about Harvey about a year ago, and I’m ashamed that I didn’t say anything right then.”

“Why didn’t you, you’re so bold,” asked Christiane Amanpour, referring to her controversial history of political activism. Fonda fumbled out an answer about not being bold and not feeling that it was her place to say anything. Amanpour then asked her if she knew that the abuse was an “open secret” in Hollywood.

“I didn’t realize that,” she said, “but I believe that it’s, apparently it was so common that everybody must have known, and of course, these kind of men, it’s not only sexual predation, these tend to be men who treat other people not well.

So, according to Fonda, this isn’t a case of a sick individual doing sick things. Instead, it’s just another symptom of male entitlement. One could imagine that in her world view, all men must share share in a portion of the blame.
