The verdict against Sean Combs highlights systemic issues of sexual abuse, reflected in cases involving Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and R Kelly. These individuals benefited from wealth, power, and support systems that enabled their abusive behavior. The nature of violence against women is frequently treated as isolated incidents rather than part of a systemic problem. Cultural normalization of such violence and law enforcement's tendency to protect perpetrators contribute to society's failure to acknowledge this enduring issue, despite its prevalence across various levels of society.
The epidemic of violence against women is underacknowledged because these cases are treated as shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive societal pattern.
Law enforcement and the legal system often prioritize protecting perpetrators, contributing to the normalization and celebration of violence against women.
Violence against women is a global and enduring issue, a constant presence in society rather than a mere event that captures fleeting attention.
High-profile individual cases are overshadowed by new stories, leading to collective amnesia about systemic issues of sexual abuse.
