Right, this pervert who molested Raisman when she was 15 did it because she dressed "in a sexual way".

It's certainly legitimate to argue that women and men should dress in a certain way to avoid revealing too much. It's not legitimate to suggest that how anyone dresses justifies or explains unwelcome sexual advances made to them. I get what Douglas was trying to say, but she didn't need to say it in this context, where it comes across as blaming her teammate Raisman.

Games women play. Men see it everyday. Women think it’s a fiction.

Make a pass get turned down and humiliated. Succeed and you’re a hero.

Let the women get educated and succeed. Than laugh at them when they start complaining about Gold Digging men or ridiculed for having a trophy husband.

The gymnastics program’s doctor was a serial molester of young girls in the course of what was supposed to be “health care.” The idea that this had anything to do with how gymnasts dress, for competition or outside it, is absurd.

I haven’t seen the Raisman photo shoot photos. I remember her former gym teammate doing a nakey shoot years ago. I’m not sure what the purpose of the nakey shoot is. Appreciation of the beauty of the human body? Some might look at such photos that way. And some might see those photos as an attempt to titillate. Why would a magazine choose to publish such? Is there a bigger art market or sex sells market??? Maybe the publishers should educate these young girls on why they sell such issues and who buys them.
