Journalism has been appropriating the valor of 20th century muckrakers forever, but that was a short lived minority current in a field that mostly reinforces the status quo. The idea of journalism as an anti-establishment institution is nostalgic propaganda
We should reboot journalism completely. Start from scratch. They should get those old timey hats and a pencil and figure it out from there

Also how to protect the victims and protect women so that they don't face that kind of bullshit in the future.
The “failure” of the first MeToo era was that so much energy was funneled towards simple exposure and “accountability.”
In the next, we’ll focus on the more pressing questions like how many teeth rapists will be allowed to keep and the most effective methods of removing the rest.

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.
This is nauseating: “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.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

MeToo did not go far enough. People were saying "MeToo has gone too far" when it had barely just picked up momentum.
It was an attempt at reckoning with how institutionally misogynistic and sexually exploitative most institutions are and what women are constantly put through. So it was crushed.

This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke...
Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

and when the state DOES intervene, it is almost always to punish *the gender property* for resisting the "correct" flow of violence--downhill

domestic abuse, sexual violence, etc is virtually unprosecuted because it isn't *in practice,* a crime at all--it's the exercise of legitimate force by the person who holds the right to govern, over and against the person who must BE governed.

monica lewinsky's boss exploited his position of power and she faced literally decades of mass harassment, cruelty, objectification, and misogynistic jokes and here we are in 2025, comedians still use her name as synonymous with blowjobs, i fucking hate it here.
It’s already happening. Case in point the sheer number of tiresome people making this crack today

when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >
Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

She’s back home now 🥰 half of her body is shaved and she has been sleeping heavily. Seems like she’s relaxing from her big ordeal, we are too. So so glad she is alive! Really appreciate everyone who is helping us out materially and commenting kindly 💕

This young girl was not “left vulnerable to exploitation.” She was in fact sexually exploited.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

Everyone already knew because multiple victims have come forward to tell us over the span of decades, at astronomic risk to themselves and with incredible courage. Behind nearly every new “revelation” about someone’s involvement w/ Epstein is a victim’s account that was made public 5+ years ago.
