      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.

        most of the rich people in positions of power that seemingly don’t face consequences are men.

        which is just pure coincidence, right? in a world where genders are split 50:50, it is just the men who have skills necessary to reach these positions. no gender bias here at all…

          Two things can be true at the same time… but yeah, stay distracted from the class issue it’s ONLY a gender thing for sure 100% no way it’s anything else make sure it’s only about men and gender and definitely NOT class. Lol

              Yes. I guess I should’ve made that clear on my first comment. I was more commenting on how people seem to see that men are in these positions, so therefore it’s a gendered issue, and then they stop cuz they think they already understand the nature of the problem but there’s actually more going on than what might seem obvious on the surface.

              I’m just sick of people getting distracted from class issues.

            Exactly. So time for you and the other clowns who came with false dichotomy of “it is not gender issue, it is a class one” to shut up.

            You are literally arguing against yourself and you don’t even realize it. It would be funny if it wasn’t sad.

              I read through other comments and I didn’t realize the sentiment some people had in this thread.

              It absolutely is a gender issue and it’s wild to try and say that it’s only a class one.

              Stop trying to make everything a gender issue and misreading everything. Clearly it’s both, but trying to pretend it’s not a class issue is just a complete misdiagnosis.

      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.

          I don’t understand people who dismiss an entire gender’s lived experience. How can you be so patronizing

              I think the men on this platform struggle with any topic relating to the other gender. Case in point: needing to frame every problem exclusively through the lens of class struggle, even if it means demeaning the strugge of women or minorities. It’s weird

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

        They aren’t. The Epstein class didn’t exclusively harm women. But nobody likes to mention the male victims it seems.

          You didn’t disprove anything though. The perpetrators were predominantly male. Before you start screeching Gisslaine stop and reflect

            M.H. Allegation: A 2021 lawsuit filed in Queens, New York, claimed that the “M.H.” individual was under 17 and working as a high school intern when Epstein “induced” him into sexual acts, causing lasting mental anguish.

            Whistleblower Reports: Some individuals have come forward identifying as male survivors associated with Epstein’s network, including connections to other high-profile figures and trafficking rings.

            Context of Abuse: While the majority of widely reported victims were young females, testimonies and legal filings suggest Epstein targeted young, vulnerable individuals regardless of gender to facilitate his trafficking ring.
