Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas said dressing in a sexual way welcomes the wrong crowd? In other words, Ms. Douglas said your choice of clothing means you are asking to be molested? Really? Note that this comment was regarding a photo-shoot done after Ms. Raisman was 21. And I think Ms. Douglas may have meant to say something differently, but the timing and wording were nothing short of horrid. Her message of “let’s think about how we dress” was totally lost.

I first heard of the Fierce Five during the 2012 Olympics. Gabby Douglas had a great story of family, faith and perseverance in the books and movies. My nieces absolutely loved her story. Well, here is the New York Post story about Ms. Douglas today. And to highlight the many things wrong with the tweet, here is an E! Weekly picture of the 2012 Olympic gymnasts called the Fierce Five.

In 2012 these were girls between 14 and 17 years old. And in 2012 these kids were not legally able to consent to the assaults from their team doctor. Nor did they want to be violated. And Ms. Raisman did the right thing by speaking out. That means someone else who this bastard raped can feel safe enough to speak up. This is what #MeToo is about, by the way.
