As the hours pass, and fresh, grisly details emerge regarding the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal, I feel strangely compelled – and highly pressurised – to apologise for the inexcusable actions of a Hollywood exec I've never met.

Why? Simple because I am a man.

In the age of social media, for a man to not immediately condemn a sexual predator is to imply that he is, at least in part, OK with that monster's actions.

So, for the record, let me say as clear as day: I do not endorse the actions of Harvey Weinstein. Of course I don't. The stories we are hearing are awful, the undercover audio tape that emerged yesterday of him admitting sexual assault makes my skin crawl, and if proven guilty in a court of law of the allegations of rape that have been made, you can chuck Weinstein in a cell and throw away the key for all I care. I’ll be cheering along with you.
