In the wake of the explosive revelations about alleged sexual harassment and assault perpetrated by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and other powerful men, former United States Attorney General Eric Holder called on men to take responsibility for creating a culture that allowed such abuse to occur ― and act to change. During a speaking event Friday co-hosted by the Raben Group and the San Francisco Foundation, Holder was asked to respond to the spate of recent details that have emerged about sexual harassment in corporate America, including at companies like Uber. In some cases, sexual harassment or assault violates the law, in which case law enforcement can help address the problem, Holder said. “The Harvey Weinstein thing is something that is not unique to Harvey Weinstein. You gotta talk to guys and make them understand you can’t be a pig,” he concluded, drawing applause.
