When former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was accused in 2012 of raping young boys, Americans were outraged.

Where was that anger in 2016 when the Indianapolis Star first reported the allegations against Dr. Nassar? And outside of that case, gymnastics' "culture of abuse" had been long documented by journalists and former gymnasts themselves. Even when decorated Olympians like Simone Biles and Aly Raisman spoke publicly about the abuse, outside of the "gymternet" - yes, that's a thing - it felt like only crickets were being heard.

In the courtroom in Michigan, the assistant attorney general, Angela Povilaitis, said: "We teach our girls and daughters to be too nice. To just ignore and put up with uncomfortable situations, to stay silent when they should be allowed to be heard."

The women of gymnastics are no longer staying silent.

They called for the Michigan State president, Lou Anna Simon, to step down, and late Wednesday she announced she would resign. They are also demanding full investigations into the university, U.S.A. Gymnastics, the U.S. Olympic Committee and into John Geddert, the 2012 Olympic coach.

After Penn State, the long-time football coach, Joe Paterno, was ousted. The university agreed to pay $59.7 million to 26 victims. Its former president was found guilty of child endangerment. The Times wrote then, "The fallout was swift and far-reaching in higher education, sports and even state politics."

The male victims in those cases saw justice. The women of gymnastics are now waiting. But no longer silently.

A Look At the Coverage

* More than 160 women say Dr. Nassar sexually abused them. Here are his accusers in their own words. Many of the women here, embracing the #metoo movement, contend that they have much more to say.

* The judge in the case, Rosemarie Aquilina, opened her courtroom to any victim who wished to speak. "Leave your pain here and go out and do your magnificent things," she said.

* Deadspin has continuously documented the allegations against Dr. Nassar; this account by Dvora Meyers is particularly worth your time.

* Many of the parents of Dr. Nassar's victims discovered that they were present when he abused their children, using his body to block their view as he leaned over the examination table. Many found themselves asking, "How did I miss the red flags?"

* In The Times's Opinion section, staff editor and former rhythmic gymnast on the U.S. national team, Liriel Higa, wrote that it is time for a reckoning for U.S.A. Gymnastics. Some might argue, she noted, that America likes to win more than it likes to listen to the grave concerns of girls and women.

* My colleague Juliet Macur, who has been covering the sport for some time, writes that a center of U.S.A. Gymnastics' success - the ranch owned by the coaches Bela and Martha Karolyi, where treatment by Dr. Nassar was mandatory at monthly training camps - had b ecome a haunted house. In the Michigan courtroom, gymnasts said the atmospheres created by the Karolyis, and by Mr. Geddert in Michigan, enabled the doctor to mistreat them. They said they were conditioned not to question adults, or complain about pain and hunger.

* Ms. Macur also shared the story of Rachel Denhollander, the first former gymnast to go public with accusations of abuse by Dr. Nassar. Ms. Denhollander said that her only choice was to stand up for what was right, "no matter what it cost me."

* And in case you missed it, last week we devoted a full page of The Times's print edition to Ms. Raisman's statement in court. You can read it here.

My first source is a tweet from Kimberly Corban, a woman that is prominent in the movement for women's equality. Corban uses the rhetorical device of pathos in her tweet by appealing to her audience's emotions. Her tweet appeals to the emotion of empowerment by stating that the movement is achieving the goal it has set out to do.
