> [@kambuckta](#): > > BUT, my response to that is that how the fuck did the school admin NOT know about the message in the locker-room in the first place. And I would suggest it would still be there in all its glory had someone not taken a pic and plastered it on social media platforms. School boards don’t wander through locker rooms. That’s the job of Penn State coaches. ---

From [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=860738): [QUOTE] > [@AK84](#): > > Most victims of sex crimes aren’t model citizens. They are messed up people, often criminals themselves and not exactly those you’d invite home for dinner. In fact abusers and predators typically target such persons due to their vulnerability. They don’t go after normal well adjusted folks. **Wonder why Weinstein was so respectful to the married mother of four, Meryl Streep?** [Emphasis mine] My guess is that it’s because Streep conducts herself like a lady. It’s also my guess that, in trying to encourage middle school girls to behave in ladylike ways, more gentlemanly behavior will result from their male classmates, thereby sparing these young girls the crass, boorish and sometimes assholish behavior guys of that age are known to engage in if left to their own devices. I’ll guarantee you that the young Jackie Kennedy, Meryl Streep, Ivanka Trump and even Sydney Biddle Barrows were treated much better both in school and later in life by the men they’ve encountered than have been the likes of Khloe Kardashian, Amy Schumer and Kathy Griffin. The intent of the words in that locker room was to show the girls a way to protect themselves and to be treated better. The idea they were intended to ‘slut-shame’ the girls, or to make them ‘responsible’ for turning the boys into gentlemen, is utterly ridiculous. ---
