I wrote about how the women Epstein and co victimized have been minimized and ignored as individuals even in popular discourse about the very abuse they endured—and how the legal system has punished them and other women, not helped them, for daring to come forward.

Even the most famous victims are silenced
From the Epstein files to Amber Heard, we obsess over victims while denying their own right to speak.

2. How many different ways can billionaire pro-natalist freaks make clear that they plan to subjugate women and girls by any means necessary?

they're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence

Sorry, but rape is something working class men also do. I know people have spent about a decade trying to delegitimize any analysis of women as an oppressed class, but reality can't be mooted for the sake of trends.

Actually starting to feel very allergic to the claim that Epstein's crimes are a function of his class. His money obviously increased the scale of his abuse and granted him additional impunity, but to say that wealth was the genesis of his depravity feels like willful blindness to gender.
I understand the reasons why it’s more jarring and consequential to see it happen among billionaires, but the kind of shrugging disinterest or impishly approving encouragement of sexual abuse among Epstein’s circle is the same dynamic that happens in less powerful milieus.

It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.

This indifference or enthusiasm for sexual violence is a cultural pathology born of misogyny, not a peculiar or unique degeneracy of the rich. You know people who have responded to rape like that.

I’m actually quite moved by how swiftly she pivots away from her own grief and trauma - real and justified though it is - to remind us not to take our eyes off the women who were assaulted
In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

At the same time the Epstein Files are reinforcing how protected sexual abusers really are, Neil Gaiman is using the nightmarish sexual violence allegations against him to market his next book. His DARVO defense is the first selling point. Rape culture is everywhere and unavoidable.

When Peter Attia’s son nearly died, he was in New York. His wife begged him to come home, but he stayed in New York to meet with Jeffrey Epstein. Over a period of years, well after Epstein was known to be a monster, Attia associated with him regularly, even expressing desire to visit the island.

The dishonest claim by rape apologists and anti-feminists that women make up stories of sexual abuse is cover for those who would rather not argue for what they really believe: that rape is trivial.

The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.
It's disturbing to see many of the the major figures in moral cognition all over the Epstein files
He was friendly with a huge number of the leading figures in the field, including giving millions to their labs, long after he pled guilty to sexually abusing young girls

In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.

The use of the word “divided” is interesting to me because it connotes the idea that there are two different positions across from each other, even when the reality is that one side is terrorizing the other out of desire to assert violent domination and unjust supremacy
