This: "That’s because the stories of Hillary’s emails and the Epstein emails are really one story. A story about the misogyny that sends the political/media elite into instant attack mode when the rule breaker is a woman, no matter how flimsy the justification, and into Wait and See mode when the rule breaker is an assaulter of women, no matter how extensive the violence." Thank you for articulating this crucial point.
I can only hope that Bill does the right thing and redeems himself .... If we had elected her we would be in such a much better place than we are now... and this is aGD FACT.....
Makes me want to weep, but that would be too feminine a response. Thank you for this analysis. Should be required reading for any man that did not vote for her (or Kamala).
I am feeling unabashedly weepy, thinking of just how much we lost - how different our country might be now if the popular vote had actually counted back then. That tragedy deserves tears.
Should be required reading for any man or WOMAN that did not vote for her...I know several who continue to disdain both of them, not realizing how they have been conned.
“the Serious Men of the American political establishment chose bros before hos.”
Please, please please change your wording. How harmful that language is to women who were raped as children. I will have to unstack. I absolutely don’t think you meant to harm anyone, but trust me when I say you can’t control or understand how this will be received.

Exactly. Thank you for connecting these events up. And not believing Epstein’s accusers, who are women, over the men revealed in the emails and their weak and bizarre denials. Mist recently today, Leon Botstein, president of Bard College, https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/us/leon-botstein-bard-college-epstein.html?unlocked_article_code=1.KVA.rU5d.WcWQbIJ553p-&smid=nytcore-ios-share. The UK is pursuing charges more vigorously, against Mandelson and Andrew, and those investigations may well lead to more Americans.
Peter, thank you for connecting all the misogynistic dots so clearly.
It is hard to believe that a man wrote this. But of course no “Serious Men” will read it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You nailed it!
Thank you for this.
It is no accident that the only Epstein comrade to do time is the woman.
Thank you for this very necessary framing of the situation. Thank you.
Is it any wonder that the only person in jail for this is a woman? As she should be but still, it echos.
Wow. This is crushing and so powerful. Thank you for the brilliant writing. Thank you for putting this "out there."

Thank you. Sharing on the divine feminine app. Enough of us are paying attention ... to change the world.
The truest, saddest thing I’ve read in a long time. Thank you.
