Is that the whole point of being a liberal man?
It seems to be the case for a lot of men, and it would explain a lot.
Explaining the Liberal Cesspool
One feminist claims that it was Trump's election that stirred this all up -- that women got fed up and decided that they wouldn't put up with this any longer. But it turned out to be Democrats and liberal men who ended up getting exposed as sexual predators more often as a result. (And, anyway, 20 years ago when Trump was talking about grabbing p he was a Democrat, right?)
Weinstein himself said it all. In effect, Give me a pass on this and I'll promise to fight the good fight for the left.

But slow down a moment: why would Weinstein—and the culture of sexual harassment apparently widespread in Democrat-run institutions (like the California state legislature, according to the New York Times this morning)—have remained unchallenged if Hillary was in the White House? Probably for the same reason that Bill Clinton got a pass for his relentless behavior 20 years ago: power is the most important thing to liberals. And if the dignity and safety of a few women have to be sacrificed, well, broken omelets and all that. After all, as we now know, everyone knew about Weinstein. But did nothing about it. And according to Tamblyn, still wouldn’t today if their person was in power.
