One rather important reason that a serial child rapist who made no particular effort to hide what he was doing was able to move among both American and international high society is the extent to which many powerful men are 1)crude misogynists who are 2)deeply resentful when they are held to any standards about how to treat women in professional spaces.

These emails are going to be demystifying on multiple, and very disturbing, levels:

Something telling about all these leaks is that Epstein can barely construct an email and, for years and years, the people who made excuses for spending time with Epstein loved to say it was because he was such a brilliant guy. I think it's abundantly clear that's not why anyone spent time with him!
