Why do certain people see abuse and inequality the way they do?

As we all know, one of the set number amount of the most touchy things to talk about includes rape.  It's a subject that cannot and certainly should not be avoided, but before going any further, I would like to let it be known that I am strongly against any form of abuse or inequality on behalf of any gender, be it sexual, physical, mental, whatever it be.  Just having that disclaimer there so if anything I say is misunderstood, I am in no way in support of abuse or inequality.  I kind of feel like I shouldn't even have to say that at this point.  Anyways, what I wanted to talk about and MAYBE ask (I'm just writing this blog post as it goes) is the fact that the overseer of sexual abuse or whatever it was called in the military as we saw in the film on Wednesday and Friday was actually a woman.  So what really puzzled me was that she seemed to sweep things under the rug just as much as the other people in high ranking positions did.  So what was so curious about that it kind of seemed like she didn't even care that females in the military would come to her with the problem of being sexually abused.  Maybe its the fact that I can't see very well through her eyes (and believe me, I don't want to), but the fact that she and many people would dismiss such a serious offense and go so far as to blaming it on the victim themselves is utterly unacceptable, immature, and offensive.  So...  why do they continue to do it?  Is it just that they don't care or give a shit at this point?  Or are they trying to protect the high ranking positions of the perpetrators because they may need them for future assignments.  The whole thing is just so messed up.  That these kinds of things just go unnoticed, and when they ARE noticed, they're dismissed and/ or retaliated upon.  So that's really all I have to say for now.  I'm sure 100% of you agree with me to some extent so there's not a lot of room left for discussion...  Of course unless you have questions, which I'd be more than happy to answer on my behalf.  Thanks for reading.
