There are shadows of all the people who got chased out by harassment, who never got to find their place to thrive. It's hard to see because it's what could have been. But those shadows are *everywhere*.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:
In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

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

Let me be the eighty-twelfth to say this is academia as well. How many computer scientists manquées are there because of Gelernter? How many potential psych professionals went to other fields because of Christakis?

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.
But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.
Anyway, yeah. The overwhelming impression one gets from so many of these emails is that a lot of them are guys who have never had a real, serious friendship with a woman in their lives.
Which sucks for them, but also sucks for every woman who has to deal with them, ever.

"This is how men behave" I'M TELLING YOU THEY'RE GONNA MAKE IT ABOUT HOW FEMINISM WENT TOO FAR
This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.
Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

every time the dems try to do some 'we're trying to be hip with the kids, get influencers in on all this, rock the vote' deal i think about the votes to defund ACORN in 2009, while dems still had strong majorities in both house and senate, and what the vote tallies were

you may worry that this breathless headline from a guy who predicted the 2007 subprime mortgage collapse portends another broad-based market-driven recession but the "sickening scenario" here is that crypto investors lose a fuckton of money and like, lol, lmao even

Good news everyone, Michael Tracey has carefully reviewed the evidence and concluded that Ghislaine Maxwell did nothing wrong.
The case against Maxwell may have convinced a jury of her peers, but not the genius who thought a NATO attack on Russia was imminent because he saw a Humvee in Poland.
