Audrey flips the script, saying that men have the real power to damage lives and move on without a second thought. It’s that power, Audrey says, that initially attracted her to Noah, and it’s not hard to extrapolate that it attracted Whitney to Furkat. The conversation seems to tip Whitney toward confronting her fiancé, whom she tells about her one-night stand with Furkat. Her parents try to convince her that Noah’s conduct was “awkward” and “uncomfortable” but not abusive. “Like they’re prey.”Do I think “The Affair” set out to tell a #MeToo story from the start, before the #MeToo movement existed?
