I don't think anyone is arguing gender inequality doesn't exist. Also this is class/power issue not a gender issue.

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.

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

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

[–] TheFonz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

You control for gender by class...? Are you OK?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

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.
