(I looked it up. There are 11 google search results for "sexy school boy." 11. Not 11 million. Go away.)
News to me. You're welcome to "yes and" my point but I am not going to apologize, as a feminist, for centering my own work on harms to girls and women
Did you read the post? The iconography of "sexy school girl" is what I'm targeting here
Kate Manne’s recent essay on the ‘sexy school girl’ trope addresses the way men purposely exploit the idea of kinks/fetishes, making it harder to recognize the underlying pedophilia or misogyny (or in some cases, as here, I suspect, the misogynoir).
The line between pedophilic and ordinary sexuality in straight men is razor-thin
From @katemanne.bsky.social: "Not trying to look small, smooth-skinned, hairless, and above all young, suddenly got a whole lot easier. Because the thought of even vaguely satisfying the men who would be gratified by such appearances now turns my stomach."

Circulate widely via whatever media you have access to.
I recast Trump's next alleged girl victim's testimony first-personally based on four formal FBI interviews that were just released in the Epstein files (having been previously mysteriously missing). It's time for anyone who can afford to do so to listen katemanne.substack.com/p/the-story-...
Please read. I was crying by the end. @katemanne.bsky.social is reclaiming philosophy as something that matters—not a mere intellectual exercise.
A searing start to @katemanne.bsky.social’s righteous denunciation of former MIT and current Chiba Tech president Joi Ito for his longstanding support of, and masturbatory connivance with, Jeffrey Epstein.
Joi Ito, former director of MIT's media lab and now president of CIT, had numerous email exchanges with Epstein about "girls." They have never been published. It's high time they were katemanne.substack.com/p/theres-ano...
I am friendly with plenty of authors and even an agent at Brockman and let me just say, generically and non-pointedly: LEAVE
Is everyone aware John Brockman tried to get Epstein to acquire Brockman, the famous literary agency that somehow still persists? jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...
I wish I had the time to divest. Truly. Having seen friends migrate, it's a process I simply couldn't handle right now with effectively two full time jobs, no editor/assistant, and a young child. Sorry--sincerely
Being a woman in this world is hard. From the Pélicot case to the Epstein files, we are forced to witness the widespread abuse of other women, often without consequences.
Doing something about this starts with how we treat girls. Please read & share @katemanne.bsky.social's plea tinyurl.com/y4fytzkc

It's not just or even mostly that we don't believe girls. It's that we don't care what they tell us

I appeared on ttt in Germany to discuss the Epstein files
We need to join the dots and loudly demand better katemanne.substack.com/p/if-we-care...
Superbly clear case for why Bard should demand Botstein’s resignation by the indispensable @katemanne.bsky.social

And I'm seriously creeped out by Instagram limiting comments on this post no matter how many times I change the settings
775 signatures over the past day. Let's make it at least 1000. It's a small thing but it matters. We have to keep pushing for some semblance of accountability. Thanks for the support to those who’ve circulated and signed already
Signed as an MBA alum and current teaching assistant. Botstein must resign.
Both/and?
A girls' elementary school. Dozens dead. Perhaps hundreds. Sitting with the profound evil and the mindfck and the knowledge that this war may well have been declared to distract us from the Epstein files and the conspicuously missing evidence that the president of this nation raped 13 year-old girls
Nearly 400 signatures and counting in just a few hours. Let's keep up the momentum and the pressure.
