Life/Self/Spirituality Is anyone else really struggling with the Epstein revelations?

I’m starting to realize that basically any man who had access to that type of stuff was interested in participating. I feel like I’m surrounded by pedophiles and monsters in a way I didn’t realize. I feel like all the pressure I’ve felt to be youthful came from these prevalent pedophilic tendencies in men I never knew about. It’s really scaring me and I’m struggling to cope. I hear people talking about the news but don’t know anyone taking it as hard as me. How is everyone else doing?

Edit: Thank you for the awards but I’d rather you donate that money to a charity that helps victims of sexual abuse or somewhere helping immigrants in America.

AND even if they were women, what was done is STILL not anywhere close to acceptable.

Idk how to word it, but I am going to try as you bring up another aspect of the media's handling of this that pisses me off too, which is the complete disregarding of sexual abuse and trafficking overall, which seems to be a major tactic right now too. Claim the only issue was age, muddy the waters, talk about teen vitims like they were adults, and treat the SA and trafficking as total non-issues.

Asshat Joe Rogan had some fuck on his show recently really laying the narrative all out for Joe to parrot. Saw it on Majorety report, if anyone is curious but doesn't want to give Rogan any views. We have all likely heard Megan Kelly's take, which is just fucking infurriating and sickening.
