that doesn't really follow when those actions are explicitly hidden, or denied. If it was generally accepted, why would they need to hide?
The case being made here is one of indifference, and not just of sexual abuse, but any negative effects that don't directly benefit Varsity.
- falcolas 6y agoThe action I'm referring to here is the indifference. The hiding, the denial. Using the phrase "boys will be boys". That's the action that's speaking out here. And it's a problem that's broader than Varsity.
- Chris2048 6y agoBut the indifference is on Varsities part, specifically; and it seems it was in a position to threaten anyone who knew about what it was hiding. Who used the phrase "boys will be boys" in this situation?
- mcguire 6y agoYou don't consider indifference to be acceptance?
- Chris2048 6y agoMaybe, but on Varsities part. OP talked about "wide ranging cultural acceptance" which I consider "societal". A monopolist hiding behaviour from society doesn't sound like societal acceptance, it sounds like the opposite: hiding behaviour it knew isn't accepted.
