It's heart-wrenching to hear young women speak about the trauma they suffered at the hands of predatory men, be it film personalities, stand-up comics, best-selling authors, or journalists. It's saddening it took so long. In journalism, it should have come long ago. My wife, a former journalist, and I spoke about it — triggered by brave tweets about a former editor — because we were all colleagues at India's largest newspaper once upon a time. Some of the things we heard had been an open 

secret, and it all appeared to point to a pattern of behaviour. There is always a pattern of behaviour.
