[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that it’s a societal problem. We don’t value women and girls’ or honestly all children, as much as we do men.  And the reality is men abuse children and women because THEY CAN.  Because other men greenlight it.  They fail to investigate abuse, they continue to work and be friends with abusers, they look the other way, they stay quiet, etc.  It may be correct that most men in America are not okay with child sexual abuse or abuse but they are not bothered enough to use their influence to stop it.  It’s like how so many white people looked the other way despite clear evidence of police brutality occurring at higher rates against Black people.  It took George Floyd being murdered in front of us for over 8 minutes during a pandemic before many white Americans stopped looking away.  We have a societal problem.  We will have a problem until those who benefit the most from our current system—specifically affluent, connected men—stop looking away and do something.  That includes all those men with daughters who love them but not enough to demand real accountability.[/quote]

This exactly. Just look at the light sentences rapist get - if they get any time at all. Go read the Local DC news forum about the convicted rapist following women around DuPont Circle. He’s threatening women and cops don’t seem to do anything. Everyone keeps saying “we can’t do anything” because to the men in power, it doesn’t affect them. Only women are affected so it doesn’t really matter to them. [/quote]

Do you realize that rape is not even a federal crime?   Now Nassar crossed state lines to sexually exploit minors but if he'd done it all in his home state it would not be federal.  I agree this was mishandled and I hope the former agents are indicted for their corrupt failure to perform their jobs.  They allowed Nassar to victimize many more girls.

Who remembers during the Olympics when Simone Biles took a couple of days off for her mental health?  GOPrs went nuts and called her unpatriotic and all sorts of mocking ensued in right wing media.  Shame on them for picking on this young woman when it was already known she is a sexual assault survivor.  This girl was molested for years yet somehow perservered and became the greatest living gymnast.  Then she had to endure ridicule by the likes of Tucker Carlson.  [/quote]
