It’s really heartbreaking. I realized that while women face a level of “what were you wearing/ it’s your fault”, whereas the men were asked why they didn’t punch him- also blaming them. We really need to change that narrative because it’s never the victims fault.

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, this really brings home the reasons men stay silent. Both women and men experience shame and humiliation, but for the men there's the added layer of "If you couldn't fight this off you're not much of a man." There's disbelief: "You're a wrestler, why didn't you flip his ass and run?"

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

But they didn't, for many of the same reasons women don't. It's not a lack of strength. It's shock and emotional paralysis. And yeah, some guys are ashamed because they got erections. When it was just a physiological reaction they had no control over.

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

What surprised me most was learning that it wasn't just the wrestlers, but other athletes, and that the woman fencing coach tried to whistleblow but no one would listen to her. And that Strauss then was promoted to the student health service and got access to every male student on campus!

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

If only Jim Jordan had spoken up, he could have saved not only the wrestlers, but so many other young men from misery! But...he didn't. And denies he knew anything to this day.

ironprincessm.bsky.social•6 days ago

Some of the men’s testimony made me cry. They were young people in such a shitty position- taught to be respectful to authority folks- esp a damn doctor- and the shock of it! It was heavy but I’m glad they spoke and I hope more people see it. Jim Jordan will get his karma 🤬

The horror the athletes and students went thru for DECADES is unbelievable. Thank you to the men who bravely came forward. You have made a difference that will continue forever and not just at OSU.

Yes, and this gave me more respect than ever for the young women who survived Larry Nassar's abuse. Courage is contagious and they set an example for these men.

christine520.bsky.social•6 days ago

Totally! Women have been abused by people in power forever. It’s that power dynamic that’s so toxic.

Jim Jordan's Past Comes Back to Haunt Him as Ohio State Wrestlers Speak Out.

lithetendril.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ohio GOP values? Frederick Feeney, a wrestling referee from 1988 to 2024, said he told both Jordan about the being grabbed in the shower by Strauss. But Feeney said Jordan shrugged off the incident and said: "It's Strauss, you know what he does." @dispatch.com https://www.yahoo.com/news/congressman-jim-jordan-plays-key-140011559.html

Gym Jordan class reunion

jasondogwood.bsky.social•8 days ago

The fact that this information has not ruined Gym Jordan's political career tells you everything you need to know about MAGA

the-goddess-speaks.bsky.social•8 days ago

For sure.

greytdog.bsky.social•8 days ago

Knowing Trump was a rapist, they still re-elected him. so. . . sexual predation is considered a high qualification for political leadership in MAGA

missivonne.bsky.social•5 days ago

At the very least, it's not a deal breaker.

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

It tells you everything you need to know about the stranglehold MAGA Republican politicians have on this state. They can gerrymander districts at will so that Republicans never lose. Citizens United made a mess of this state. It's not that everyone in his district loves him. I sure don't.

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

If you really want to understand why it is impossible for Jim Jordan to lose an election, you need to watch another documentary: "The Dark Money Game: Ohio Confidential." You will then understand that thanks to Citizens United, If you're not a Republican in Ohio, your vote barely counts.

Similar to much of the south as well. Sad commentary on our nation, isn't it? *sigh*

carriewolff.bsky.social•8 days ago

I haven’t watched yet but I’ve been following this story for years. It’s so baffling that Gym is still in politics🙄🤢🤢

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

To truly understand why he's still around, you need to get back on HBO Max and watch "The Dark Money Game: Ohio Confidential." That one also explains why the GOP here is still trying to outlaw abortion, even though the people voted to enshrine it in our constitution.

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ohio Republicans don't listen to the people. They're in a position where they don't have to anymore. Now they're introducing a new "fetal personhood" bill. Why? Because they don't care if the people want abortion. They decided "the will of the people is evil" (direct quote).

christine520.bsky.social•6 days ago

It’s very clear that Republicans don’t care about their constituents or anyone other than themselves. Fetal personhood! BS. Control over women’s bodies and turning America into a theocracy is what they want. Vile bastards.

JIM GYM JORDAN SHOULD BE IN PRISON! PASS IT ON!

sccharlston716.bsky.social•5 days ago

Watched it, How Jim Jordan is in Congress is absolutely shocking and disturbing.

momazonrises.bsky.social•8 days ago

I want to watch this. Jim Jordan should be held accountable for his part.

nhinca.bsky.social•8 days ago

I knew Jim Jordan was horrible and central to facilitating the abuse there, but didn't realize how much OSU was continuing to fight the lawsuit AFTER they've acknowledged the wrongdoing. Fuck Jordan and Ohio State for this.

hopefulhearttj.bsky.social•6 days ago

He has no business being in any position of power or authority. He could have expressed remorse once the facts were out. How can the people of Ohio keep electing him?

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

He keeps being elected because Ohio Republicans control the distrct maps and can gerrymander them to their hearts' content so that anyone with an R by his name always wins in most districts. I regularly vote against him but I'm a drop in the bucket. And here's the irony...

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

...when I bought my house, it was not in Jim Jordan's district, but in another "safe" Republican district. Then the Ohio GOP re-gerrymandered the maps, and now I'm in it. My house didn't move an inch.

hopefulhearttj.bsky.social•6 days ago

How frustrating this must be. Perhaps with this new film out it will give some of his supporters pause. I’m in a very red district myself and the constituents won’t believe any negative news about our Rep. It’s all fake of course. They just won’t trust any Dem politician period. Ugh.

christine520.bsky.social•6 days ago

Between gerrymandering and big money in politics, it’s a tough combo to overcome. I am getting an education via replies about how bad it’s gerrymandered in Ohio. It just emboldens these bastard Republicans to do whatever they feel without a thought to their constituents. It sucks.

notincleveland.bsky.social•6 days ago

Big money put them in power and now they need never leave. Peter Thiel helped curse us with Sen. JD Vance and now the country is cursed with him. Big money helped defeat Sherrod Brown, a true populist Democrat, and gave us Sen. Shady Car Dealer Bernie Moreno. Their next trick? Gov. Ramaswamy.

frankedson24.bsky.social•8 days ago

Finally, this is out. We’ve been waiting for this for several years. Curious why it took so long to debut, but elated that this is finally being aired. Think Jim Jordan will be watching? He despicably covered up this horror. He now gets his just desserts. He needs to go to prison for this travesty.
