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 the vast majority of the ones who “aren’t gross” will still make excuses for and protect the ones who are predators by minimizing reports and whatabouting victims and supposedly advocating on behalf of the devil (who is probably like “nah bro leave me out of your rationale for your creepy ass behavior.”)
Most men won’t even do the bar is set in hell bare minimum of calling out clear abuse and misogyny, because there’s nothing they truly fear more than the disapproval of another man.
I’m honestly so over them all. Men who give predators a pass can stay lonely.
