Hello All. I’m a biologist/professor and a lifelong Alabamian. I’m deleting the other platforms this weekend, and will be much more active here. I’d love to find people into science, education, nature, reading, gaming, hiking, fishing/hunting, among other things. I’d also love to connect with

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Jeffrey Epstein [jeevacation@gmail.com]
He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
Anyway, for what its worth...

Seeing a few comments about “dead rapists bringing down living rapists”.
Let’s be clear.
It’s not Epstein that has Trump and MAGA on the defensive. It’s not Epstein that had a former Prince stripped of his title.
It’s the survivors of Epstein’s abuse. It’s the women who refused to be silent.

As of 2011, Epstein was a Level 3 registered sex offender (highest-risk) with a lifetime registrant requirement in NY.
And a registered sex offender in Florida by 2008/2009. He was required to report all international travel.
But sure, visit the Southern White House.

if being opposed to predatory behavior & normalizing intimate violence is being called “anti-male” i think that in and of itself is more offensive to dudes than anything else as it’s painting them as a stereotype while normalizing allowing abuse (which a lot of dudes are opposed to!)
