What do you mean you prefer non fiction? We all prefer non fiction. But fiction is where we live now
Honestly surprised at this point they’re not giving Epstein the Charlie Kirk treatment. The NYT gave it the ol college try

Also I just wanna say that the idea that me too was a walk in the park and it could happen to anyone at random...

The last thing I’m gonna say about the current news cycle is that there are people all around you carrying the enormous pain of having been abused underneath the brave face they had to learn to wear.
Listen to survivors who are ready to talk. Do not press those who are not. And step gently.

I was in a fury for 36 hours but have now (yet again) accepted that this country will never love me & I’m only here to look at dogs and eat cake until I slip my mortal coil

A man has just said something outrageous to me about the Epstein story and I am not kicking him please reward this adult behavior

Many people are asking!
I don't like, but have to tolerate, for now, this situation where I'm realizing if I had been raped as a teen, many people at the highest seats in our government would not care about my story or would make excuses for why it's not bad actually... And it makes me ... not want to be a good citizen?

It is important to not wish physical harm on anyone who says the destruction of teenage girls’ lives is no big deal; in a civil society someone should be able to say teenage girls’ lives are meaningless without facing any negative repercussions, including mentions of woodchippers

I really don’t want to hear from anyone else but the victims. The rest of it - the jokes, the punditry, it’s further exploitation & explicit moral harm

this is heinous and disgusting: mild objections to obscene conduct are met with immediate consequences. The conduct itself? Shruggie emoticon

Can someone compassionate (no weird gross jokes) and well informed answer Nnedi’s question?
Can someone summarize for me what's going on with the Epstein files right now? I don't want to know more than I have to about all that nasty bs. Is it significant to politically harming Trump or not? Yes or no? If yes, how? That's all I care about.

The idea that survivors should still have to cook dinner and do normal things normally, not yelling, is an outrageous expectation

i think this is maybe literally true and the social glue connecting trumpworld to competent people who act like they have things to lose was rape
Oh god is the reason why Trump is so much more unstable term 2 is because Epstein is dead???

In defining rape in law and public discourse, Catharine MacKinnon wrote, "The level of acceptable force is adjudicated starting just above the level set by what is seen as normal male sexual behavior, including the normal level of force, rather than at the victim's, or women's, point of violation."

Fundamentally, what happened in the wake of MeToo, Kavanaugh, etc. was men, en masse, realizing "if that's rape, then I'm a rapist" and then rejecting the awareness and the label *but not the conduct.* A patriarchy just isn't capable of producing a different result.

I increasingly think that the right’s rhetorical use of “rape” as an ultimate wrong that can be attributed to, say, racial others is not a hypocritical contradiction of their embrace of rape in practice, but in fact core to it: they degrade victims further by appropriating & mocking their suffering.
i think this is true to some extent but it's easy to underestimate the extent to which society does not really care about women or children despite many ostentatious declarations to the contrary
Yes there's a lot of denial, but I've seen it: when it snaps, it snaps hard.
"Powerful men covered up child sex abuse" isn't outlandish when you've seen that happen in church, boy scouts, school athletics, and every other social pillar of your conservative middle-class life in the past few decades.

If there are (yet again) no consequences for these crimes then what’s happening here is that we are using other people’s life altering traumas for entertainment
