Yeah, I’m not buying either. There are plenty of bad women in this world who cover up for their men. Dottie Sandusky, anyone?

Nowadays you also hear all these stories about female teachers sleeping with their students. They just don’t have the stigma attached. Those boys are “lucky”.
I had totally written him off after his boorish behavior at the White House.
Have we lost our souls to mammon?
If the whole truth ever comes out (and I doubt it will), I think we will discover that Sandusky was just one of the homosexual pedophiles operating at Penn State, that there were several in positions of power, and that nobody wanted to risk angering them by outing Sandusky.
Being complicit in the cover up of a particularly heinous crime of child molestation for the sake of his football program is willful negligence and not a characteristic of a great man.
And lets not forget the countless women who allow their daughters (and sons) to be molested by their current boyfriend, because they value the boyfriend more.
Any who believe that, well, just go ahead and believe it.
And if you want to believe there is no problem with many men thinking with the wrong head when prostitution is going strong, judges and police officers are trading special treatment in return for some action, child molestations in the Catholic Church and now at Penn state and the cover ups that followed, ad nauseam, go ahead.
I don’t understand your reply or how it relates to the post your replying to.
Ah but you did. You also posted "Most normal men will not be more sympathetic with a molester than with a child victim." But the men who knew about this, and there were many, did nothing about it. Whether it was from sympathy, preserving the program, or some other reason, apparently those reasons were more important to them than the boys who were being abused. And if you read the op-ed, then you saw that it was WOMEN who finally took action. Those are the FACTS.
And Whitlock's conclusions are nonsense, or maybe you think most men would be more sympathetic with a male child molester than with the victims, or that men who were aware of such criminal behavior would "think with the wrong head" when considering an adult male who had molested male children.
Whitlock has his opinions, which there is evidence to support. As I posted to you last time and you seem to take as an attack, "That they didn't (take action) and why is worth discussing, even if you don't agree with this writer's conclusions.".
So what, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
So his solution is to insert the morally superior sex - women - into leadership to solve the problem.
As it was WOMEN who took action when men were covering it up, there is cause for reaching that conclusion.
He has not read all the stories about female perverts hiting on underage boys and girls in the public schools? Female perverts are a dime a dozen as are male perverts.
That's a good point, but how many times have we read comments from men, even at this Conservative, Christian forum, asking where those teachers were "when I was growing up".
The answer is to educate the targets - children and their parents about perverts preying upon them and how to handle them.
Another good point, but the other answer is to educate adults on how to respond when this occurs. And if you read the op-ed, you saw that women knew how to respond, but it was the men who covered it up.
You have a serious reading comprehension problem and seem incapable of forming responses to what another poster has actually said.
When you want express your own opinions, just express them. But don’t attach them to the post of someone else and pretend that you are responding to what that someone else said.
What point do you think you are making by continually saying that those who knew did nothing? Everyone remotely familiar with this case knows that, and it does not have to be repeated with every statement someone makes concerning the situation.
And the first person to take action was the graduate assistant coach who reported what he saw to his superiors. His superiors decided to sweep it all under the carpet. And few know what they would have done if in that assistant’s place if they ever faced his situation. Monday morning quarterbacking.
Just answering your speculation about what the average man would have done with some facts about what the average main associated with this actually did.
And the first person to take action was the graduate assistant coach who reported what he saw to his superiors. His superiors decided to sweep it all under the carpet.
The op-ed lists several women who took action and got results. You counter by listing an unnamed man who saw what happened, said something, and then allowed it to be swept under the carpet. You don't see the problem here? I do, and so did Whitlock.
