Epstein, ICE, and What Women Know

Epstein, ICE, and What Women Know

Okay, I just couldn’t resist the temptation to rant some more about the Epstein files and all that they represent. And the simple summary is this: rape and sexual exploitation are not some fluke of the system, they are the essence of patriarchy itself, the necessary rewards for an ideology designed to get men to brutalize each other and be willing to get brutalized, with control of women as the reward, and domination over other groups, like people of color and immigrants. And that requires a strict separation of sex roles, with men being men and women being women, and woe to the man who exhibits any womanly traits, like empathy or nurturing. And double woe to queer and nonbinary folks. Here’s the full rant—or at least, this week’s portion.
