    I apologize, because this kind of sounds like a “not all men” comment, but I promise it’s not meant to be. Unfortunately abuse is not just limited to being perpetrated by men, if I recall correctly Epstein famously had a female accomplice, who was apprehended and is serving time. Anyone perpetuating abuse is despicable and deserves our hate. I guess that goes without saying, however your use of “men” just stuck out in my mind and I wanted to make sure Ghislaine Maxwell and her ilk also get an equal amount of outrage directed at them.

    Fuck all abusers and facilitators.

        I don’t know if I’d call 20 years a slap on the wrist, it is a significant chunk of time, but it is no where near enough for the shit they did. When I went to Wikipedia to double check my info and saw that was the sentence I was appalled that was all she got. They do all deserve a life sentence for what they did.

          You’re correct. My use of the phrase wasn’t really appropriate.

      Yeah this is one of the rare cases where it’s absolutely fair to point out because it was an entire network with people from both genders participating or complicit in some way! We aren’t discussing statistics, women were involved in these atrocities so it really would make more sense to be inclusive of all the abusers

            I didn’t say “fuck you”. I said fuck off. But apparently a rape enabler like yourself can only experience life through transactional sex acts that you have a ranking system for.

            So I’ll just state plainly, you are wrong about everything you think about sexuality, sex crimes, and feminism.
