I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.
This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

Stanford researchers link lupus to nearly universal virus
A new study shows that the Epstein-Barr virus, carried by nearly everyone, may trigger lupus by turning immune cells against the body.

If you're a survivor, be kind with yourself as all these Epstein emails come out. Wild how these men just openly justify what they did in email with no fear of accountability. I feel like a lot of people's worlds are about to be rocked as the names of those involved start to drop.
