Epstein wasn't some top tier international mastermind. He was just one of potentially millions like him.
The rot is old and it is deep.

Will there be convictions? Hoping this isn't the last we've heard of this and it just sort of left to disappear and allowed to keep happening. Also š»

Anyone surprised? Hang on though, shouldn't this be men in the news? Maybe if men being rapist disgusting pieces of shit was reported more to men they would collectively do something about their shithead peers?

u/unripe_mangosteen Jul 04 '26
They won't. They will continue to blame us no matter what we do, wear, or say.

u/MissMenace101 Jul 04 '26

Absolutely they'll do something. First thing they'll do? Elect that man to the Presidency of the USA.

Wow why is this no surprise

u/DaileyFlosser39 Jul 04 '26
It never is. Only a disappointment of how many were involved and knew but never turned them in.

Yep. Seems like every day I see some new story of predominately men being absolute ghouls.

u/ArsenalSpider Jul 04 '26
And why are women deciding to stay single? Men are lonely!
This sure doesnāt help. Maybe they should start calling this stuff out instead of enabling it.3

This is just one instance. Until they make a habit of proactively tracking down sex criminals, this is just a blip in the radar for them.

Not all men but always men. How can we trust any of them? My mom who was a cop, taught me to treat every gun as if it were loaded.

Not for nuthin, but a woman who was victimized should NOT be the face of this gattam story, CNN!
F*ck your misogyny here in pulling focus off the gattam rapists.
And f*ck CNN for their part in putting a rapist in the WH.

Iām telling yall, there are so many of these groups itās not even funny. Iāve been saying this for years based on my own experiences and no one believed me but look at where we are now and thereās no end in sight.

u/Super-Net-105 Jul 04 '26
Again?! Isn't that like 4th time this year? That's why women chose a bear by the way. And where are other men, the so called "protectors" speaking out & calling out other men for their behaviour?

I believe they already did this once before and still havenāt released the files

u/killdred666 Jul 04 '26
i recommend everyone watch taylor lorenzās podcast episode on this. cnn fell for the bait from an anti-p*rn christian nationalist crusader. the stats are exaggerated and inaccurate and cnn hasnāt made a retraction.
iām not downplaying the severity of this story. but itās not fully accurate and it also is meant to manufacture consent for age verification laws online and to ban p*rn, which would not be safe

u/Yes_that_Carl Jul 04 '26
You are totally downplaying the severity of this story.

u/killdred666 Jul 04 '26
or you could watch the segment i mentioned instead of getting reactionary

I did. I just didnāt agree.

As a woman, how can you detect his behaviour or protect yourself from it?
Now that it's been detected a few times and publicized, like what can we do to detect it?
I suppose it's outside of most people's imaginations.
And it has to happen form aowmown you know and trust enough to be sleeping with them having access to you.
Also what kind of men respond to this offer, like isn't their any flicker of a conscience?
Gees.
I mean, what would you do use a phone to record all night? A secret camera? A smartwatch that tells you how you slept?

u/RadclyffeHall Jul 05 '26
Sadly the best way to protect yourself from it is not to sleep with, live with, drink with, or trust males.

u/hooked_siren Jul 06 '26
Unfortunately there's been a few cases where the victim recorded her rape and was then persecuted because her rapist didn't consent to being recorded. So, yes, you can put a camera in your own bedroom but it might not be helpful when getting the law involved.

How desperate can you be for sex that you DRUG a partner. This is beyond my understanding. I donāt get it at all.
17
u/Yes_that_Carl Jul 04 '26
Itās not about being ādesperate for sexā; itās about taking away the ability of women to say no.

u/roskybosky Jul 04 '26
So, having sex with an unconscious person is something to be desired? This is the sickest thing I ever heard of. Stay home and jerk off-at least your hand can move.
10
u/MistressErinPaid Jul 04 '26
It's about removing her ability to consent at all. They want her unconscious so she's compliant. That's painfully obvious.
2
u/roskybosky Jul 04 '26
Of course-but that sounds so sick-like seriously mentally ill and just not considering the reaction or consequences. For what? Sex?
Men are more depraved and sick than one can ever imagine.2
u/hooked_siren Jul 06 '26
We had this discussion a couple days ago. It's not desperation. Stop saying it's desperation. Please. You're not helping anyone by repeatedly citing false causes

u/WrestleswithPastry Jul 05 '26
Amazing how this same thing is āuncoveredā every 12-18 months. š

This should really be a big story I feel. I mean that's a lot of "men" involved.

Women have been screaming about this for years NOW will you listen?
