RE: RE: RE: Say it ain't so Morgan Freeman! (NSC)

It might be that the culture prevented women from coming forward at the time. Sure, they were adults and recognized the behavior as wrong, but there may not have been the collective desire on the part of law enforcement and the justice system to do anything about it.

Sexual forms of harassment, sexual assault, workplace harassment (sexual and non-sexual) and assault are just like other forms of abuse. It has taken a long time for us as a civilization to understand them. A couple of centuries ago there was really no such thing as child sexual abuse. And as late as the 1970s we really turned a blind eye to it and were not sure what to do about it. Same with spousal abuse. But with education and the passing years we have come to know its effects on people. Another form of abuse which has gone unrecognized for centuries is bullying. But now we are starting to get it.

With all this said, I thing we began to understand sexual assault along time ago. The movement we are seeing now is due to a number of factors, one of them being the internet and the ability to connect dots instantly and to have stories go 'viral' in a matter of minutes.
