In a 60 minutes interview detailing her experiences with former doctor Larry Nassar, Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman goes at least halfway through a "five whys" root cause analysis to approach the question of why this issue has remained relatively quiet for decades. Notice that she answers the question of "why didn't people speak up?" with "because they were afraid to", and then she asks the question of "why were they so intimidated by the culture?".
Count me jealous--not only an amazing gymnast, but a natural for the various professions of problem solving. Well done, Aly. Anyone who works with children ought as well to note her question, and take steps so nobody ever has to ask it regarding their organization.

i really dont get this whole thing. as an under-educated deplorable, none of this stuff happens in the environments i been laboring in. maybe the worst of us are just better people when it comes to working well with others... while those with expertise and education are lacking in character.

I think what's going on is that those who really want to reach the top in their given field, as Raisman did, need to appease the power brokers. The rest of us, when confronted with such a demand, can simply get a different job.
But that said, I see a lot of teachers and coaches getting imprisoned for this kind of thing, too, so maybe "we" are not as immune as we think we are.
