I've been thinking of this thread again after reading Jude Doyle's latest on how Patriarchy is the explanation for why so many men found common cause with Jeffrey Epstein, and it seems to me that in trying to complain about what Epstein and his associates did was best described as rape.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Can’t repost this hard enough.
I think a lot about what it means to have predatory men and their apologists, in charge of major global and national spaces
What agendas were advanced, what decisions made, what issues prioritized, because these men thought women weren't human?

There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

What's cool about seeing people argue with each other about the best way to punish ICE agents for their crimes, do this versus that, is that the conversation is now one taking for granted that they will be held accountable and brutally punished. Not *whether* they will be held accountable.
