I'm not arguing that Ohio State wasn't aware of what Strauss was doing, but like I said before, I don't think people at that time recognized what was happening as sexual assault. You have to remember that this was only brought up after the Nassar abuse at Michigan State/the Olympics went to trial, and an Ohio State wrestler watching it thought, "Wait a minute, this is really close to what happened to me."
This is also why I said the best victims are people who don't even know they were victims. I think a lot of wrestlers at Ohio State at the time would have told you they were uncomfortable with Strauss' 'treatment', but if you asked them if they were rape victims, they'd say no.
I pointed out Jordan's part in the Strauss scandal because I freely admit Jordan isn't perfect, something I wanted to acknowledge before I pointed out Biden's hypocrisy between what he said then and what he says now.

I still find it hard to believe that <snip> that college wrestlers (en masse) could be abused.
If you aren't saying 'college wrestlers can't be abused' right here, what are you saying? I'm using your words.
The attitude that 'men can't be victims of sexual abuse' or 'no one would abuse a football player, they're too big and strong' or 'college wrestlers can't be abused' is exactly what allows such abuse to happen. People are hesitant to believe it when it happens because believing it means they have to change their worldview. Sexual predators don't just hide out in dark alleys waiting for victims, sometimes they're doctors and religious leaders and politicians and people in positions of respect.
If anyone is trolling here, it is you. I brought up a Biden quote Jordan tweeted to point out Biden's hypocrisy, you're the one who turned this post into an excuse to push the conspiracy against Jim Jordan.
