One of the striking things in Epstein's emails is how fucking inarticulate he is, and how *every other billionaire is just as bad at communicating*.
They're the exact textual equivalents of any interview with Altman or Musk or Thiel etc just fucking babbling incoherent word salad.

This is what gender solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like, Part 4:
Jeffrey Epstein funding conferences specifically to exclude & disadvantage women scientists.
Many men knowingly participated in this & it wasn't out of class solidarity--physicists aren't billionaires.

Epstein’s ticking time bomb for science: Years ago, before the name of Epstein had registered, I had lunch with a prominent woman physicist. She told me Epstein was funding exclusive physics conferences for favoured male physicists to which women like her were excluded.

Some men want to rape and dissociate themselves from the label. The study in the UK showed men admitted rape when you didn't use the word. If you used the word they denied it. Therefore, it's so important people use the right language
Remember the Gisele Pelicot trial? There was one man who wouldn’t accept being found guilty of rape.
He insisted the label was too much of a burden to bear. He raped an unconscious woman, multiple times, on video.
He appealed, and the court extended his sentence.
Trump reminds me of that guy.

Trump bragged about grappling women by the pu**y & barging into rooms of partially dressed, young pageant contestants. A jury concluded he assaulted E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room. So nothing that’s in the Epstein emails is a surprise. It’s just confirmation.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.
