I mean maxwell is the only person associated with Epstein in jail right now......

I used to write cheeky notes in the memos of checks to friends and family (eg "for: eye hole widening" or some shit like that) until I learned the bank and your accountant read that shit and if it looked or smelled funny they were professionally and ethically obligated to report it.

Now I make sure it's embarrassing just not reportable. (eg "for: butthole removal, 2nd attempt")

Yeah the women in the epstein files are also getting away scott free. And maxwell absolutely is compared to the punishment she should be getting.

How do you even separate gender issues from class and power issues?

People definitely do that. You just aren't talking to the right people.

Was about to post exactly this and am glad this is on the top.

While there are gender disparity, Epstein isn't really about gender it is about ruling class having separate justice system than rest of us.

There might be gender issues like less women being as rich and powerful, but that's secondary.

It can be both. Both things can exist simultaneously. They are not mutually exclusive. I hope you understand that

A whole sex trafficking ring of little girls and people are saying it's not a gender issue. Lol okay

Self reflection

I find that, just as some people don't think trans men exist, some people don't think woman can be rapists or paedophiles.

Yeah it has always been the billionaires vs the rest of us

How much money you have, that's all that matters.

I think we could start with killing the rich. See if that one works.

Unfortunately sexist people will continue to generalize. Same as if I call most brown, black people criminals. Glad there are people with brain capacity like you, though the major movement is "some men bad thats why I will call all men bad"

That's right it goes in the "class issue" hole lol.

I get why people see it as a sex issue since most of the rich people in positions of power that seemingly don't face consequences are men.

It's a bit of both, but the gender problem is at least partially derived from the fact that the larger portion of assholes at the top are men.

Getting rid of them or clipping their wings would likely be overall better for women. Replacing them with a billionaire-class of women would not.

Por Que no los dos!?

You don't think Epstein's homeys had any sex problem?

/s

Why do you think they are mutually exclusive? I hate Lemmy sometimes. So incredibly myopic and laser focused one particular perspective.

Gender equality is inseparable from class consciousness. The amount of leftist on this platform who are dismissive of feminism is kinda insane. If our class can't support and aid the most endangered minorities within our own body, why have any hope that any of this is actually about solidarity.

Feminism is foundational in creating class consciousness in western society, you start from the bottom up. If you don't upset the social economic hierarchy then there is no reason for disenfranchised minorities to believe a revolution would be anything but a civil dispute within the current hegemony.
