Beyond Weinstein and Hollywood and partisanship, there’s plenty to get angry about in the #MeToo hashtag, and in McKayla Maroney’s story. Maroney claims that USA gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar molested her for years, starting when Maroney was 13 years old. Dr. Nassar has been accused of abuse by scores of women and girls and was charged in February with 22 counts of criminal sexual conduct. Five of those counts involve girls under 13 years old. While Americans cheered for Olympic gymnasts and gleefully memed McKayla Maroney’s disappointed silver medal face, she was experiencing unimaginable pain. Right in front of us, with the most people possible watching, he got away with it.

Nassar isn’t a political donor like Weinstein or a partisan mouthpiece like Ailes or the Republican president like Donald Trump. There are no political points to be gained by condemning him. A cynical part of me wonders if the story of Nassar’s decades-long stretch of alleged sexual exploitation of gymnasts, a story that dropped months ago, died from public discussion quickly because there was no way to use his case as a tool to implicate one’s ideological opponents. If the allegations against him are true, Nassar is a serial predator who was able to exploit women and girls for a generation without being caught, or without being stopped. Whatever enabled that environment to exist should be something everybody works to eliminate.
