“There will always be something more important than grappling the roots of misogyny – money, power, access, information, a political project, “how the world works”... “The abused women and girls are nothing but a plot device, just like they always were.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So the Epstein scandal is about politics? Silly me for thinking it’s about the mass abuse of women and girls | Marina Hyde
