[quote=Anonymous][quote] Why did so many women wait to come forward about Bill Cosby? Because we now live in an improved society where the victim may actually get believed. Thirty years ago people looked away more often. Sexual abuse of any kind was more tolerated or even considered a "rite of passage." I look forward when all hazing in fraternities and the military is banned and considered a crime. That is where this shit comes from. [/quote] This guy didn't come forward, though, he started blackmailing Hastert. There is a difference. I agree that it is easier to come forward now--but I think you are exaggerating that sexual abuse was more tolerated--it was embarrassing to the victims in those days. I think that is one of the issues. Also, in colleges, there was much more segregation of the sexes and supervision. Men were not allowed in girls' dorms--that kind of thing. I think that probably kept some of it under control. But, I guess I am showing my age. [/quote]
