Hi Nancy, can you elaborate here on the connections between what happened in Steubenville and other cases in which similar social and institutional tolerance has been evident (Catholic Church, boy scouts, US gymnastics, etc). As your film showed, so much focus and attention goes into policing how girls look and act when they are targeted, but you show how pervasively predatory behaviors are minimized and folded into "normal" masculine behaviors and ideals. Can you comment specifically on the culpability of institutions?
