Yeah, I don’t know if you have kids yet or not, but very often they don’t seek out parents for sexual issues. I know I did not.
I stress with my younger kids that if anyone does anything that makes them feel uncomfortable, that person is wrong and they might need to be stopped or get in trouble before they hurt others. So tell mom or the teacher or someone safe.
But this Nasser. He was molesting little girls as part of what he made seem to be a necessary exam or treatment. They had no idea they were being used for his jollies. Poor things.
Things got worse with Nasser, who might have gotten away with his buzzes had he kept them private during normal full-awake medical exams. He went with the teams and gave them pills a la Cosby, and odd “physical therapy” in that context.
Ultimately, we can’t even hope to police everybody’s dirty thought about a person who did nothing she purposed to provoke it. As the scene back in the Garden of Eden showed, even fig leaves weren’t good enough to stop the lusts born of sin. We can only hope to police their grosser conduct, and when Nasser started giving girls pills and was found “examining” them when they came to, that zone was entered.
Maybe it would have been better to have had a woman doctor. Though now we have lesbians becoming prominent on the scene. A combination of precautions and watchfulness is the best thing. Anyhow I hope that if I had a daughter I might raise her in such a way that if a doctor unbeknownst to me gave her a pill that zonked her and then she came to during a “physical examination” — she’d tell me “Doctor N. did something weird!” She wouldn’t have to write an advice columnist.
