Florence Pugh on Cornell case and education system

There is no equality until our bodies are respected, and none until the damage done to our souls stops. That's Florence Pugh's read on the whole thing, and she's not softening it: colleges, schools, universities keep failing women everywhere, over and over. The part that got me is who else she's pointing at. Not just the abusers, but the people around the 2024 Cornell gang rape case, seven fraternity members, folks who already knew and still didn't say a word. Institutions keep covering for both groups, per Pugh. Her bigger argument is about what these places are actually teaching. Men grow up learning they can do extreme harm and walk away untouched. That's the lesson, repeated until it sticks. And then the closer: women are the life force of this earth, so start protecting us, be angry on our behalf, please. Hard to argue with any of it.
