"content": "\u003cp>This week, in a tale of Olympic scandal and intrigue, Ryan Lochte is in the spotlight for an ugly encounter at a gas station in Rio de Janeiro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To give a quick recap: Lochte, a 32-year-old U.S. swimmer who has competed in the last three Olympic games, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetorch/2016/08/18/490494716/what-would-ryan-do-now-we-know\">told the press earlier this week\u003c/a> that he and some of his teammates had been robbed at gunpoint in Rio de Janeiro early Sunday morning. Police reports, security footage, and testimony from witnesses contradict Lochte's original statement. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetorch/2016/08/18/490491448/rio-official-on-lochtegate-lets-give-these-kids-a-break\">As NPR reported\u003c/a>, Rio's Civil Police chief said \"multiple witnesses have described a scene in which the swimmers vandalized the bathroom, were asked to pay for it, and got testy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After contradictory accounts of the alleged robbery surfaced, Mario Andrada, communications director for Rio 2016, came to the defense of Lochte and his companions. \"Let's give these kids a break. Sometimes you take actions that you later regret. They are magnificent athletes,\" said Andrada. \"Lochte is one of the best swimmers of all times. They had fun. They made a mistake. It's part of life. Life goes on. Let's go.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lochte has also suggested it's time to move on. In a statement on Twitter, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RyanLochte/status/766638785140498432\">he wrote\u003c/a>, \"I want to apologize for my behavior last weekend — for not being more careful and candid in how I described the events of that early morning and for my role in taking the focus away from the many athletes fulfilling their dreams of participating in the Olympics. ... There has already been too much said and too many valuable resources dedicated to what happened last weekend, so I hope we spend our time celebrating the great stories and performances of these Games and look ahead to celebrating future successes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, to many \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23LochteGate&src=tyah\">#LochteGate\u003c/a> is but another ill-advised, yet ultimately harmless exploit undertaken by the erstwhile star of the reality TV series \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2798842/\">What Would Ryan Lochte Do?\u003c/a> This is, after all, the same adult man who \u003ca href=\"http://jezebel.com/5931055/10-reasons-ryan-lochte-is-americas-sexiest-douchebag\">unsuccessfully tried to trademark the word \"Jeah.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But others are taking the opportunity to engage in an interesting thought experiment: How would this have played out if Lochte \u003cem>weren't\u003c/em> a white man? Britni Danielle, writing for \u003cem>Ebony, \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ebony.com/news-views/ryan-lochte-robbery#ixzz4Hn75bWGK\">wondered\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Can you imagine the level of racially charged outrage about over-paid 'thugs,' 'gangsters,' or worse, racial slurs that would fill up social media had Carmelo Anthony and his boys torn up the bathroom, then claimed to get robbed by fake police? I have no doubt President Obama would be asked to comment, Black Lives Matter would get blamed, and people would probably never let them live it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Instead, Lochte is being given the benefit of the doubt by folks who are 'waiting for all the details' before they make a determination about the swimmer's story, or arguing that what he did wasn't actually lie but rather 'embellish' the truth.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Others compare Lochte's situation to the public scrutiny that Gabby Douglas, the Olympic gymnast, who is black, faced after \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/la-sp-oly-national-anthem-plaschke-20160810-snap-story.html\">not placing her hand over her heart\u003c/a> during the national anthem. Huffington Post editor Emma Gray \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ryan-lochte-gabby-douglas-and-white-male-privilege-in-action_us_57b5e76de4b034dc73262f93\">had this to say\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Douglas, who is just 20 years old, failed to put her hand on her heart during the national anthem, and did not style her hair and/or face to every individual's liking. For those 'crimes,' she was widely criticized for being 'disprespectful,' 'unpatriotic' and 'un-American,' and called words that we'd rather not repeat in this piece. Lochte and friends reportedly defiled a gas station restroom, fought with a security officer, lied to national news sources, and may have filed a false police report. And the four of them get to be framed as talented 'kids' (reminder: Lochte is 32) having one debaucherous night of fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The vast gap between these two public perceptions has everything to do with the identities of the people involved. Lochte is a straight, white man, who has long been beloved for his pretty face, doofy personality and charmingly slow demeanor during interviews. Douglas is a young, black woman who has battled racialized critiques of her appearance and attitude for years, despite winning three Olympic gold medals.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In an article for Nylon, Kristin Iverson writes that the public's reaction to Lochte wouldn't be so off-putting had it not come so shortly after Douglas was \"viciously dragged through the court of public opinion,\" and argues that gender also played into the vitriol. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nylon.com/articles/ryan-lochte-lies-white-privilege\">She continues\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We also happen to live in a society wherein women are mercilessly grilled about the minutiae of any accusations they level at men, where women are warned again and again that they \u003ca href=\"http://www.nylon.com/articles/amy-schumer-twitter-blocking-kurt-metzger?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=article-page&utm_content=trending-articles\">could be ruining men's lives\u003c/a>, where women are tacitly implored to keep silent rather than speak out, lest their stories of having their lives permanently altered, disrupt a man's life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yet here is Ryan Lochte, who traded in on the not slightly xenophobic fears of crime in Rio, to paint himself as a victim of an armed robbery rather than admit the truth: He and his jock friends (\u003ca href=\"http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a47751/ryan-lochte-robbed-passports/?src=socialflowTW\">who have since told police\u003c/a> that Lochte made the whole robbery story up) got drunk, destructive, and caught, and had to pay up. And here we are, making jokes and laughing at his actions, rather than seriously thinking about what it means that a privileged white male American can literally piss wherever he wants, lie about it, and fly away from his problems, when other people, who aren't white and aren't men, can be shamed, ostracized, and harshly censured for not smiling enough while \"The Star Spangled Banner\" plays.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Of course, not everyone thinks it's fair to compare the Lochte story with what happened to Douglas. As one representative Twitter user \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/joangvs/status/766693385100988416\">wrote\u003c/a>, \"You people with the Ryan Lochte white privilege! Get over it. Not everything is about race. Sometimes it's just about being stupid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And given Brazil's complicated history of colonialism, slavery and interracial marriage — Brazilians call their country \u003ca href=\"http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/brazils-colour-bind/article25779474/\">the most racially mixed on earth\u003c/a> — it's probably reductive to accuse Lochte, who never physically described his alleged assailants, of using black or brown people as scapegoats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Brazil, \"the difference between black and white is not so black-and-white,\" writes Tim Rogers in \u003ca href=\"http://fusion.net/story/274184/that-moment-you-look-in-the-mirror-and-realize-youre-black/\">a piece over at Fusion\u003c/a> on racial identity in this corner of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguably, Lochte's own background — he's half Cuban, another country with an extremely complex racial history — further complicates that narrative. But in a piece for Bustle, Cristina Arreola \u003ca href=\"http://www.bustle.com/articles/179443-ryan-lochtes-white-privilege-is-way-more-complicated-than-you-think\">pushes back\u003c/a> on that idea:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Ryan Lochte doesn't get a pass on white privilege because he's Latino, though. No question about it, blue-haired dude-bro has white privilege in spades. You probably didn't even know he's Cuban-American, since it's not apparent in his appearance or his skin color or his name. Even if he is technically Latino, he appears to be white and so the world treats him as such.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So what does it mean to have \u003ca href=\"http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/09/white-passing-poc-privilege/\" target=\"_blank\">white privilege as a person of color\u003c/a>? It means he meets the white standard of beauty. It means he won't be questioned about his immigration status. He won't be the target of racist assaults. He won't be unjustly targeted by police officers because of the color of his skin. There are countless ways in which he benefits from his white skin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lochte is a white-passing person of color, which doesn't excuse his actions, but instead, makes them infinitely more disappointing. He's been given an incredible platform to speak on behalf of Latinos and POC who don't have his privileges, and instead he's squandered that opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Olympics draw to a close on Sunday night, there will be more news to celebrate of athletes accomplishing great feats. It will be interesting to see whose accomplishments get lauded, and how. But the U.S. will leave Rio with an impression no one can be thrilled about: that of the \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/mark-purdy/ci_30264791/purdy-if-lochte-craved-attention-he-got-it\">ugly American\u003c/a>,\" who gets to walk away from a mess of his own making, while others have to live with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

I have no doubt President Obama would be asked to comment, Black Lives Matter would get blamed, and people would probably never let them live it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Instead, Lochte is being given the benefit of the doubt by folks who are 'waiting for all the details' before they make a determination about the swimmer's story, or arguing that what he did wasn't actually lie but rather 'embellish' the truth.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Others compare Lochte's situation to the public scrutiny that Gabby Douglas, the Olympic gymnast, who is black, faced after \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/la-sp-oly-national-anthem-plaschke-20160810-snap-story.html\">not placing her hand over her heart\u003c/a> during the national anthem. Huffington Post editor Emma Gray \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ryan-lochte-gabby-douglas-and-white-male-privilege-in-action_us_57b5e76de4b034dc73262f93\">had this to say\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Douglas, who is just 20 years old, failed to put her hand on her heart during the national anthem, and did not style her hair and/or face to every individual's liking. For those 'crimes,' she was widely criticized for being 'disprespectful,' 'unpatriotic' and 'un-American,' and called words that we'd rather not repeat in this piece. Lochte and friends reportedly defiled a gas station restroom, fought with a security officer, lied to national news sources, and may have filed a false police report. And the four of them get to be framed as talented 'kids' (reminder: Lochte is 32) having one debaucherous night of fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The vast gap between these two public perceptions has everything to do with the identities of the people involved. Lochte is a straight, white man, who has long been beloved for his pretty face, doofy personality and charmingly slow demeanor during interviews. Douglas is a young, black woman who has battled racialized critiques of her appearance and attitude for years, despite winning three Olympic gold medals.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In an article for Nylon, Kristin Iverson writes that the public's reaction to Lochte wouldn't be so off-putting had it not come so shortly after Douglas was \"viciously dragged through the court of public opinion,\" and argues that gender also played into the vitriol. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nylon.com/articles/ryan-lochte-lies-white-privilege\">She continues\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We also happen to live in a society wherein women are mercilessly grilled about the minutiae of any accusations they level at men, where women are warned again and again that they \u003ca href=\"http://www.nylon.com/articles/amy-schumer-twitter-blocking-kurt-metzger?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=article-page&utm_content=trending-articles\">could be ruining men's lives\u003c/a>, where women are tacitly implored to keep silent rather than speak out, lest their stories of having their lives permanently altered, disrupt a man's life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yet here is Ryan Lochte, who traded in on the not slightly xenophobic fears of crime in Rio, to paint himself as a victim of an armed robbery rather than admit the truth: He and his jock friends (\u003ca href=\"http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a47751/ryan-lochte-robbed-passports/?src=socialflowTW\">who have since told police\u003c/a> that Lochte made the whole robbery story up) got drunk, destructive, and caught, and had to pay up. And here we are, making jokes and laughing at his actions, rather than seriously thinking about what it means that a privileged white male American can literally piss wherever he wants, lie about it, and fly away from his problems, when other people, who aren't white and aren't men, can be shamed, ostracized, and harshly censured for not smiling enough while \"The Star Spangled Banner\" plays.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Of course, not everyone thinks it's fair to compare the Lochte story with what happened to Douglas. As one representative Twitter user \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/joangvs/status/766693385100988416\">wrote\u003c/a>, \"You people with the Ryan Lochte white privilege! Get over it. Not everything is about race. Sometimes it's just about being stupid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And given Brazil's complicated history of colonialism, slavery and interracial marriage — Brazilians call their country \u003ca href=\"http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/brazils-colour-bind/article25779474/\">the most racially mixed on earth\u003c/a> — it's probably reductive to accuse Lochte, who never physically described his alleged assailants, of using black or brown people as scapegoats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Brazil, \"the difference between black and white is not so black-and-white,\" writes Tim Rogers in \u003ca href=\"http://fusion.net/story/274184/that-moment-you-look-in-the-mirror-and-realize-youre-black/\">a piece over at Fusion\u003c/a> on racial identity in this corner of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguably, Lochte's own background — he's half Cuban, another country with an extremely complex racial history — further complicates that narrative. But in a piece for Bustle, Cristina Arreola \u003ca href=\"http://www.bustle.com/articles/179443-ryan-lochtes-white-privilege-is-way-more-complicated-than-you-think\">pushes back\u003c/a> on that idea:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Ryan Lochte doesn't get a pass on white privilege because he's Latino, though. No question about it, blue-haired dude-bro has white privilege in spades. You probably didn't even know he's Cuban-American, since it's not apparent in his appearance or his skin color or his name. Even if he is technically Latino, he appears to be white and so the world treats him as such.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So what does it mean to have \u003ca href=\"http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/09/white-passing-poc-privilege/\" target=\"_blank\">white privilege as a person of color\u003c/a>? It means he meets the white standard of beauty. It means he won't be questioned about his immigration status. He won't be the target of racist assaults. He won't be unjustly targeted by police officers because of the color of his skin. There are countless ways in which he benefits from his white skin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lochte is a white-passing person of color, which doesn't excuse his actions, but instead, makes them infinitely more disappointing. He's been given an incredible platform to speak on behalf of Latinos and POC who don't have his privileges, and instead he's squandered that opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Ond8RsVdxn21qkKt52SDZ4vhoveUYqHJ\"]In the fall of 2002, Justin Timberlake launched his solo career. He needed it to work or he would have to grow old singing \u003cem>Girl, this\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Girl, that\u003c/em> with a gang of just okay singers. So he released \"Cry Me a River,\" an anthem for the cuckolded that would get coverage in all the gossip magazines, as his second single. Before we even had time to speculate about who would dare cheat on America's Boy Next Door, Justin released a video featuring an actress who looks exactly like Britney Spears, his former girlfriend, just to make sure we knew exactly who to shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DksSPZTZES0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIjgCn6JkXU\">a Barbara Walters interview\u003c/a> around this time, he said he would always love Britney and she could always turn to him if she ever needed anything, and then proceeded to suggest that Britney went back on her vow to stay a virgin until marriage and shared an unreleased song with the lyrics:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Thought our love was so strong, I guess I was dead wrong, but to look at it positively, Hey, girl, at least you gave me another song about a horrible woman.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Insert every eye-roll gif you can find here. Sure, he has the right to write about his life. Where it gets gross is the malicious revenge fantasy, coupled with pretending to be an innocent abused puppy. This was never about catharsis. This was about sacrificing Britney's reputation for a hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A little over a year later, he would use a tweaked version of this get-more-famous-with-the-help-of-a-celebrity-woman-and-drop-her-when-she's-no-longer-useful model. Remember how Justin got an opening act gig on Janet Jackson's tour, allegedly dated her behind the scenes for publicity, and then \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/02/04/nipplegate-revisited-why-america-owes-janet-jackson-a-huge-apology/\">let America tear her apart after he ripped her top off during the Super Bowl Halftime Show\u003c/a>?

He needed it to work or he would have to grow old singing \u003cem>Girl, this\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Girl, that\u003c/em> with a gang of just okay singers. So he released \"Cry Me a River,\" an anthem for the cuckolded that would get coverage in all the gossip magazines, as his second single. Before we even had time to speculate about who would dare cheat on America's Boy Next Door, Justin released a video featuring an actress who looks exactly like Britney Spears, his former girlfriend, just to make sure we knew exactly who to shame.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/DksSPZTZES0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/DksSPZTZES0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIjgCn6JkXU\">a Barbara Walters interview\u003c/a> around this time, he said he would always love Britney and she could always turn to him if she ever needed anything, and then proceeded to suggest that Britney went back on her vow to stay a virgin until marriage and shared an unreleased song with the lyrics:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Thought our love was so strong, I guess I was dead wrong, but to look at it positively, Hey, girl, at least you gave me another song about a horrible woman.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Insert every eye-roll gif you can find here. Sure, he has the right to write about his life. Where it gets gross is the malicious revenge fantasy, coupled with pretending to be an innocent abused puppy. This was never about catharsis. This was about sacrificing Britney's reputation for a hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A little over a year later, he would use a tweaked version of this get-more-famous-with-the-help-of-a-celebrity-woman-and-drop-her-when-she's-no-longer-useful model. Remember how Justin got an opening act gig on Janet Jackson's tour, allegedly dated her behind the scenes for publicity, and then \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/02/04/nipplegate-revisited-why-america-owes-janet-jackson-a-huge-apology/\">let America tear her apart after he ripped her top off during the Super Bowl Halftime Show\u003c/a>? You probably forgot Justin was even there because he left her high and dry in the aftermath to preserve his career, and got away with it too because the patriarchy is a mighty force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>In the last week, if you haven’t been aghast by the lack of attention Lindsay Lohan’s public beating has received, it’s probably because you haven’t even heard about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week and a half ago, astonishing footage emerged of Lindsay Lohan frantically throwing herself out of a Jeep and running away, only to be chased and grabbed by her then-fiance, Egor Tarabasov, who promptly grabbed her arm and violently twisted it behind her back, partially exposing one of her breasts in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first especially horrific element of this incident is that it happened in broad daylight. One cannot help but wonder what happens behind closed doors if Tarabasov is doing this to Lohan on a busy beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second especially horrific element has little to do with Mr. Tarabasov and everything to do with America’s response to his actions. Not only was there no outpouring of sympathy for Lohan, there was barely even a trickle of acknowledgment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the sheer multitude of blind eyes turned to domestic violence statistics in America today, perhaps it shouldn’t be all that surprising that the media doesn’t care too much that a once-successful woman was manhandled in public. Roughly \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/23/domestic-violence-statistics_n_5959776.html\">4,774,000\u003c/a> American women deal with physical violence from men they are intimately involved with, every single year. This is not a rare occurrence. But when it happens to famous women, or women that are married to famous men, the hope is that it will start a national conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sometimes does, but as a country, we struggle to keep the conversation going past the initial shock, and ultimately tend to let it go.

One cannot help but wonder what happens behind closed doors if Tarabasov is doing this to Lohan on a busy beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second especially horrific element has little to do with Mr. Tarabasov and everything to do with America’s response to his actions. Not only was there no outpouring of sympathy for Lohan, there was barely even a trickle of acknowledgment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the sheer multitude of blind eyes turned to domestic violence statistics in America today, perhaps it shouldn’t be all that surprising that the media doesn’t care too much that a once-successful woman was manhandled in public. Roughly \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/23/domestic-violence-statistics_n_5959776.html\">4,774,000\u003c/a> American women deal with physical violence from men they are intimately involved with, every single year. This is not a rare occurrence. But when it happens to famous women, or women that are married to famous men, the hope is that it will start a national conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The attending nurse, who was fully capable of delivering the baby, ordered Rose to keep her legs closed until the doctor arrived. When this didn’t work, the nurse pushed the baby’s head back into the birth canal and held it there for two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=pop_27643]The effects of this decision only became clear as Rosemary grew older. Every infant milestone — crawling, standing, walking, speaking — arrived later than it should have. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This delay continued at school; teachers advised that she repeat kindergarten and then the first grade too. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joe and Rose Kennedy, who both came from overachieving families, were known for placing high academic and physical expectations on their children, and they made no exception for Rosemary. Both parents believed that Rosemary could be “cured” through a combination of holding her to the same standard as her siblings, specialized education and experimental injections. Despite their best efforts, Rosemary would never advance intellectually past the fifth grade.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113740\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113740\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-510607859-scaled-e1693510039588-800x612.jpg\" alt=\"A line of very wet small children stand waist or chest-deep in the ocean, arms around each other warmly.\" width=\"800\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-510607859-scaled-e1693510039588-800x612.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-510607859-scaled-e1693510039588-1020x780.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-510607859-scaled-e1693510039588-160x122.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-510607859-scaled-e1693510039588-768x587.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-510607859-scaled-e1693510039588-1536x1174.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-510607859-scaled-e1693510039588.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rosemary, John, Eunice, Joseph Jr, and Kathleen Kennedy enjoying the water at Hyannisport, Massachusetts in summer 1925. \u003ccite>(PhotoQuest/ Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the early 20th century, many elites were swept up in the eugenics movement, an ideology marked by a belief that some groups — immigrants, people of color, the poor and the disabled — had a “bad gene” and should not be allowed to breed. The Catholic Church, which was a major part of the family’s way of life, refused Communion and Confirmation to the disabled. If the Kennedys were to be honest about Rosemary’s challenges, their friends and other influential people would blame them for passing along defective genes and their religion would shun them and their daughter. Worried that the truth about Rosemary would sully the family reputation or complicate their political aspirations, Rosemary was sent away to various schools and her parents did their best to keep her condition a secret.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one was more frustrated by not being able to make her parents proud than Rosemary.

She loved fashion, swimming, and going out on the town. Her older brothers, Joe Jr. and John, would often accompany Rosemary to dances. “They waltzed her around the ballrooms, brought her punch, stood with her and shared a quiet laugh, stayed with her so that she appeared not different at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=pop_106807]Despite this compassion for his sister, Joe Jr. would later become radicalized on a trip to Germany in 1934 and adopt less than tender attitudes towards “undesirables,” including people with disabilities. He wrote home to his father: “[Hitler] has passed the sterilization law which I think is a great thing. I don’t know how the Church feels about it, but it will do away with many of the disgusting specimens of men which inhabit this earth.” His father seemed to agree in his reply: “I think your conclusions are very sound.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1938, FDR appointed Rosemary’s father as ambassador to the United Kingdom. The entire family relocated and it wasn’t long before Rosemary and her younger sister Kathleen were presented to the King and Queen in a debutante “coming out” to high society. Despite only having two weeks to prepare (most women dedicated months), Rosemary aced all the customs she had been taught and, apart from a minor stumble in front of the royals, had a perfect evening of socializing and dancing with high-profile, eligible bachelors. British newspapers were enamored with Rosemary and her dress, and favored her greatly over her sister in their coverage of the events, much to the dismay of her mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113738\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113738\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-3321730-800x629.jpg\" alt=\"A black and white image of a mother and her two daughters, all dressed in elegant 1930s evening wear, all smiling.\" width=\"800\" height=\"629\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-3321730-800x629.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-3321730-1020x802.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-3321730-160x126.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-3321730-768x604.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-3321730-1536x1208.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-3321730-2048x1611.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-3321730-1920x1510.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">11th May 1938: Rosemary (R) with her mother (C) and sister Kathleen (L) on the day of her presentation to the King and Queen. \u003ccite>(Keystone/ Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As Rosemary settled into life abroad, her circumstances continued to improve. Her parents enrolled her in a Montessori school, which traded the competitive qualities of Rosemary’s home life for a more reassuring, confidence-building approach. Rosemary flourished, academically and socially. Her lead educator wrote her parents that Rosemary had made “remarkable progress” and that there had been “a great change in her lately.” After visiting her, Joe Sr. agreed: “She is happy, looks better than she ever did in her life, is not the slightest bit lonesome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as Rosemary was finally finding comfort and happiness, history intervened. Germany was getting more and more aggressive on the continent and Rosemary had to first be moved out of London and then out of England entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=arts_13926069]Back in the States, Rosemary became more rebellious, her behavior more erratic. “Every day there would be fights where Rosemary would use her fists to hit and bruise people.” She was known to break out of school to roam the streets of D.C. Rosemary’s actions worried her parents. \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindbergh_kidnapping\">The Lindbergh tragedy\u003c/a> had made many prominent families paranoid about their children being targeted in kidnappings or worse. Wrought with stress over Rosemary’s safety and their social standing, Joe Sr. and Rose reached a breaking point and began to desperately seek surgical solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe Sr. had heard news of a new surgery called a \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">prefrontal lobotomy, which was performed as therapy for people with mental disorders, LGBT people, women who were considered too sexual, criminals and addicts. The surgery had only been practiced for three years in the States. 80% of the patients were women. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Evidence suggested that this experimental surgery was risky, unreliable, often damaging and sometimes lethal (9% of all patients died). The American Medical Association strongly advised against the practice until further studies could be done. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite all this, Joe Sr. arranged for \u003c/span>Rosemary to undergo the operation without consulting his wife or anyone else in the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113742\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113742\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/08/GettyImages-515428388-scaled-e1693510802793-800x623.jpg\" alt=\"Two women in smart 1930s fitted coats and hats stand arm in arm smiling.

She was strapped to an operating table and kept awake for the surgery. The doctors asked her to sing songs like “God Bless America,” recite the Lord’s Prayer and tell stories, as they cut into her brain, only stopping after she had gone quiet. “They knew right away that it wasn’t successful.” The attending nurse is said to have been so traumatized by what she saw that she quit her profession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What was once a manageable behavioral problem was now something far worse. Rosemary, then 23-years-old, had regressed to the state of a two-year-old, losing her ability to walk and speak. Joe Sr. immediately sent Rosemary to a psychiatric hospital in upstate New York, much to the confusion of her siblings and others. “[Why] after all these years, did she have to be institutionalized now? And why couldn’t any of the family see her?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=arts_13890853]Joe Sr. allegedly told his wife it would be best for her not to visit Rosemary so she could get “accustomed” to her new living arrangement. They told everyone else that she was off studying to be a teacher or getting involved in social work. Eunice, the sibling Rosemary was closest to, said that she didn’t know where Rosemary was for over a decade. In letters to the family, Joe Sr. kept up a vague facade that Rosemary was “getting along quite happily,” never once mentioning the surgery. After 1944, all mentions of Rosemary in family letters stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1948, John had been elected to the House of Representatives and had aspirations for higher offices. Joe Sr. started to worry about the secret of Rosemary getting out and spoiling things, so he made arrangements to have Rosemary relocated to an institution in Wisconsin, where she would live for the remaining 56 years of her life. He never visited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1958, John secretly went to see Rosemary and only then did he realize the severity of what had been done to her. This traumatic revelation inspired him to eventually use his power as President to enact several pieces of legislation that funded research and programs for the disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyfCdOo7ft4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eunice was also doing what she could to enact change, first dedicating money from the Kennedy Foundation to research, then founding Camp Shriver, a retreat for disabled kids, and eventually creating the Special Olympics. These efforts, coupled with John’s political actions, changed America’s public perception of the disabled in a major way. In Ted Kennedy’s words, she “taught us the worth of every human being.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around this time, Rose decided to visit Rosemary. It had been over 20 years. Upon seeing her mother after all this time, Rosemary became very upset and “recoiled” from her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the ’70s, Rosemary began to attend family vacations. Being around her mother was stressful for her, but her nephews and nieces did their best to create a supportive, loving environment, filled with desserts, swimming, card games, music and other things Rosemary loved. She ended up making quite the impression on Eunice’s sons. Anthony Shriver, who built a room for Rosemary in his home, founded Best Buddies International, a non-profit that provides disabled individuals with a mentor, as well as employment opportunities. And his brother, Timothy, took over the role of Special Olympics CEO from his mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCTGl-uNgY8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosemary lived out her days in a cottage specifically built for her and her caretakers on the grounds of the Wisconsin institution. She was popular with the staff and other residents, enjoyed swimming, going out for joy rides, playing card games, and spoiling her pets (a canary named Skippy and a poodle named Lollie). In 2005, Rosemary died of natural causes with her four surviving siblings by her side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Want another lesson in little-known history?

The Catholic Church, which was a major part of the family’s way of life, refused Communion and Confirmation to the disabled. If the Kennedys were to be honest about Rosemary’s challenges, their friends and other influential people would blame them for passing along defective genes and their religion would shun them and their daughter.

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
