Brilliant article on Epstein by Helen Rumbelow in the Times TW Distressing content

Not meaning to derail but this does gives clues as to why it's been so easy for the trans lobby to so swiftly undo decades of safeguarding children along with the rights of women to undress / have privacy away from the male gaze. It's often asked how this miniscule group in the population managed to unravel the social contract so swiftly and with so little resistance from the establishment?

Well, if so many powerful men have these attitudes to women and girls, then the trans lobby were preaching to the converted so to speak. While we assumed that safeguarding children and women's rights to safety and privacy were enshrined in our laws and institutions, those at the very top were evidently just paying lip service to these principles. When an opportunity came along to dismantle these safeguarding principles, so many powerful politicians, lawyers, civil servants, medics, educators etc jumped at the chance as it suited their demands. We always wonder how those infamous "deals done behind closed doors" revealed in the Denton report actually got through?

The Epstein files are revealing how.

However bad we think it was, it was probably worse. As women we can't even imagine how disgusting these men are. And it's not like these men were vulnerable or had any mitigating circumstances. These are some of the most privileged and powerful men in the world.

Vile, disturbing and distressing.
Powerful, so called intelligent and influential men!!!!
Women and girls just viewed as "parts"
Horrible though it is, it needs exposure
Absolutely disgusting

Thank you for posting OP. I read this article earlier and was considering a thread but was struggling to find some words to convey what I felt on reading it. The grotesque misogyny demonstrated by this very powerful cabal of men is frightening. It has corrupted political structures and governments in many countries. The tentacles of this hatred of women are deeply embedded in many facets of day to day life in the UK.

I have no words.

Vile. Absolutely vile.

It's a devastating read. Just look at how many men are implicated and use a discourse of porn soaked, predatory disrespect for girls and women.

Disturbing indeed. I wonder how much this plays into the incel sense of grievance- they're the men who would love to be in this privileged group but feel shut out. Could go off men really.

Well-written and deeply depressing. I can't believe this is the world we live in. They really can't conceive of us as people, can they?
