      Cassady Taylor I cant believe they all climbed on his table to get molested while their parents were in the room that’s so crazy that he got away with that

      Cassady Taylor , can you imagine how many actresses would be up there? Or Epstein victims? This is a powerful group because their sports are considered dignified and they usually well looked after by their parents who sacrifice hugely to get them to these competitive levels. So proud of them.

      There were more girls. The total number of girls he abused wouldn’t be able to fit on that stage. The girls at the ESPYs are just the girls who publically came forward and testified at the trial. But there were loads more

      3) Ruining People Are Accusing Not Convictions But Accusations.
      4) Women Aren't Empowering Themselves, Making Themselves VICTIMS.

    • @semi6544
      @semi6544 Před 5 lety +39

      Are you really trying to make a case against the victims? Why? Why do the victims garner more hate and criticism than Dr. Nassar in comment sections? You don't get famous from being a victim; they gained nothing but the right to face their violator by making themselves known. They did not make themselves victims. A doctor told 7 and 8 year olds he had a vagina massage treatment that would improve their health. Those 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 ,16,17, & 18 year olds are victims of sexual assault. Some were innocent victims and some were naive victims, but they are victims. When they spoke their truth in order to help others they left victim hood behind.

I swear some people just infuriate me, & honestly what he said to me really really upset me and I had even asked him if he'd been abused and he said no, and then I told him well that's exactly my point cause if you've never been abused then you don't know the pain that sexual abuse victims turned survivors go through day in and day out and sometimes this lasts for the rest of their lives.

      It's absolutely normal to put fingers inside of a female patients genitals during a pelvic exam or pelvic floor physical therapy. There's no other way to reach the muscles. That alone doesn't constitute abuse. He crossed a line when he started to perform this unnecessarily, as he admitted.

    To all those who say that these brave, courageous women are liars, shame on you. This is why many sexual abuse and assault survivors like myself don't come forward until for some of us months or even YEARS after the assault or abuse we received because we have always been told that we are lying or making it up. sexual abuse and assault is not a joke, it's nothing to take lightly. It's very serious, I hope that all sexual assault and abuse survivors find their strength to stand up and speak up about what happened to them. Cause as the beautiful Aly Raisman so beautifully put, we may suffer alone but we survive together. #MeToo

      Spoiler: Neither are thought policing, because neither of these cases involve anyone telling you what to think. It's about behavior, and it's actually a good thing when someone calls out shitty behavior.
