For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

![The emails are like a portal back to a lost Manhattan power scene. Mr. Epstein’s inbox was larded with boldface names — many of them now faded or forgotten — that once meant everything to status-obsessed New Yorkers. It was the world that Donald Trump came out of, and the one that Mr. Epstein had so effectively beguiled after having grown up in a middle-class household in Coney Island.
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.
The story talks lovingly about the high-end restaurants the pedophiles in the emails frequented, the big parties these pedophiles attended, and the media interests and financial investments which occupied these pedophiles' days. At one point the story says, "[f]rom the vantage point of Mr. Epstein’s inbox, the revelations concerning the abusive behavior of men in power played out like a psychological thriller." It's all treated like entertainment or some celebrity drama, not a disgusting, life-destroying crime spree.
This is how Margaret Mitchell wrote of the antebellum south in "Gone With the Wind." This is how Henry Hill talked about the pre-Lufthansa Heist days in the New York mob in "Goodfellas." It's a nostalgic glorification of a past that almost entirely refuses to acknowledge, let alone examine, that the past which is being glorified revolved around a horrible, dark, criminal degeneracy. In this case sex-trafficking, pedophilia and sexual abuse.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vevk6lgrt6o4wncrbp7joij3/bafkreiailllsku63fj7wvkffr3pkx5m4zhdxlvxo5xzi6boxf2v2go2vja@jpeg)
