I had to stop reading when I read that line of this article. As a victim of CSA, I just cannot understand why anyone references children as โwomenโ, there are no โwomenโ high school students, there is no โsexโ with children, that is called rape. Words matter and you can speak from the perspective of the abusers, or from that of the abused, not both. They get away with it for so many reasons, and one is because of normalizing this vernacular
You have so succinctly delineated the mechanisms of our society. I have been an activist and organizer for almost 40 years and still many in this space do not have this clarity of the realities of the system we live under. Instead they focus on single issues or work to get a democrat in office and "hold them accountable" to their campaign promises. I've started a different approach by making a documentary that seeks to speak to the theme of empathy and our basic humanity told through the voices of activists, posing questions that touch the basic question of what it means to live in a just society.
Itโs worth noting that Epstein wasnโt just an independent agent for wealthy perverts. He was an agent of Israel furthering not just the capitalist cause, but also Zionism.
I read your work all the time and I just want to let you know how much I appreciate your thoughts and your work. I found this post especially poignant. Thank you.
Underage women are CHILDREN.

Iโd love to see more about this project, Tom!
I write about my journey of making it on my Substack. @immakingmyfirstfilm. I'm glad it sparkes your interest!

Stunning dissection of the reality that this massive, systematic, child abuse ring has exposed.
Good work on this JP.
Morris Katz is correct.
And look to Graham Platner in Maine for a change.
This was a great read , thank you!
