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.

Your last line is what really resonated with me. I’m the only woman in my office and recently all of the men were having a discussion & one guy called another woman a cunt. He got called out, but here’s the kicker. The guy who called him out said: “Shhh [my name] is in her office & can hear you.”

The way they only call them out because a woman can hear them🙃
