The way to stop "the problem" of men sexually assaulting women is for men to stop sexually assaulting women.

If a woman is not yet comfortable for whatever her reason to face/name the person who sexually assaulted her, she's still not the problem. The man who sexually assaulted her is.

ok, so the way to stop the murder in Chicago is for people to stop shooting each other. Don't bother reporting the person who did it, just hope that it stops. Unfortunately that's been tried and didn't work. The only way to stop the bad behavior of an individual is to physically stop them and names need to be put out there for it to happen. If no names are ever mentioned it will just continue. If a person wants any type of justice for a sexual assault, they need to report it. They aren't doing themselves or any future victims any favors by not doing so.

Generally a small percentage. Just like other crimes like murder and so forth.

Since unlike a car theft or murder these claims are more likely to go unreported, that means that the same offender can continue to victimize others and often leaves a long trail of victims before it ever comes to light.

I mean, consider some of the serial killers in US history with 10-30 being a range for some of the higher body counts. The gymnastics doctor JUST from the team had way more than that and god only knows what sort of creepy sh*t the guy did prior to that and outside of work? He could have 10x as many victims as the serial killer range I threw out.

Not to be flippant but again, this won't stop. Ever. Which is why we just have to do a better job of being diligent and stopping these predators before they're able to victimize more and more and more.

No surprise really. Adult men that are involved in girl's gymnastics are not quite normal. I would not say they are all pedos but something must cause them to want to hang out with young girls wearing almost no clothing as a career.

This is pretty extreme and someone misandristic imo. Some men just find it really rewarding to mentor girls and be their coach and so on. You don't think the guy at UConn that has been coaching the UConn women's basketball team for 30 years doesn't cherish all the memories?

While I don't agree with the posters premise, maybe look up an Ariana Grande video and reflect on her complaints about a guy treating her like a piece of meat. (sayeth the meat seller)

There is rampant sexualization of younger and younger girls over the years, much of it being sold under the guise of "empowerment" which is bullchit.

I don't know that it encourages sexual assault but it does play a part in seeing these girls as sex objects and not actual people.

Not that I wish this upon anyone but maybe even consider the kardashians?

Coaching college aged women and 5 year old girls is not even in the same ballpark. I stand by what I said, an adult male that spends that much time around young girls is not normal.

Inappropriate medical exams and treatments were not that uncommon in the past. Now a nurse is normally in the room for exams but in the past some creepy doctors just took liberties under the guise of thorough exams. I recall the hair stroker doctor, the breast squeezer doctor, and the leg man, off the top of my head. There was also an obgyn known as "the woman hater". I was once made to see him, as he was filling in for my doctor, he didn't look too good and he dropped dead a week later.

I am not going to ask this, but I need evidence to believe her.
We can't just decide a man is guilty because a woman says so. Evidence is any case is essential, without which it is just accusation, nothing more.

what a stupid thing to say. Most of great gymnastics coaches are men. It is like saying there must be something wrong with male gynecologists.
