Most of the outrage surrounding Art Briles has little to nothing to do with rape victims. Football fans feigning outrage over this is pathetic. The culture at Baylor that allowed this to happen is not only prevalent in football but it's all over our culture and society. A lot of the same people waging their finger at Briles are the same ones who would use a word like broad and reject the existence of toxic masculinity.
so, if what you're saying is true, (it's not), then you're also saying is that this stuff happens everywhere, (it doesn't).
throughout this, you've continued to turn a blind eye to the systemic decisions at baylor that created the environment which allowed this situation to become as pervasive as it has. it's no different than michigan state. it takes a lot of people with a lot of power to decide that they're going to turn a blind eye. i'm not going to pit this thread up but there's another parallel that could be drawn as well.
You're completely misinterpreting my point. I'm not turning a blind eye to anything, not even sure how you even came to that conclusion from my post. My point is that the issues that happened at Baylor did not stop nor start with Baylor or Art Briles. It's a systemic problem in our society and the men of our society who created this culture are more than happy to feign outrage at Art Briles but aren't willing to do their part to change the prevailing culture that allowed the Baylor rape culture to take hold. I'll also point out for the millionth time that this just wasn't an issue with the football program but the university. And yes, a rape culture is present everywhere, the difference is how willing the men in power at these institutions are committed to fighting and changing it, at Baylor they literally cared zero about the physical and emotional safety of the women on their campus.
As for Briles and this specific situation, I have no issue with him getting another job, maybe like Mike Riley, he's learned and grown and will be able to be a mentor to the young men he's charged with leading and he'll be an ally to all women. If he isn't, hopefully the his bosses give a crap enough to fire his ass.
This very recent phenomenon of not allowing people the chance to atone from their mistakes and grow within themselves is gross and harmful to our society. Not as harmful as rape culture but harmful all the same.
