Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.
They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.
They raped them.
Sex implies consent.
The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Scott is the second person I know to have had to withdraw a story from one of this group of magazines due to their new contract issues. Depressing but important for writers to know about Asimov’s, Analog, and the Magazine of F&SF (all of which have editors who are NOT to blame for the new model).
On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.
People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

My gut hunch: Kendzoir was probably not banned by a human for any reason, but by an automated computer process by accident, and BlueSky doesn't want to admit this mistake nor to open up that automation for debate. It wants the power to let computers do this w/o expending $ for human review.
@bsky.app last week my DMs were cut off. Moderation said I could not be trusted.
Hours later, you said it was a mistake.
Then you cut off them off again—but said it was my fault, tho wouldn't explain (before turning them back on.)
Maybe @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's ban is a mistake, too?
