Well yeah: If you’re found guilty of sexual assault like Trump has been BY A JURY OF YOUR PEERS then, yes, you should no longer have the resources to trample over the rights of your sexual prey. Is that concept so hard to grasp? Nota Bene: The jury in E. Jean Carroll’s recent trial determining the amount of the award for defamation was comprised of 7 men and 2 women. And, as far as I know, none of them have been credibly accused of groping or assaulting anyone.

Congratulations, Nina, on your excellent journalism.

And what a timely and disturbing issue. Very very disturbing.

How troubled and insecure these males must be, so threatened by the success of Taylor Swift that they explode in online insults and threats and AI-porn. I can't really think of any parallel time or situation where young men were so hopelessly incompetent in relating to women.

These "influencers" of course are pumping up the outrage to feed the algorithms (and their bank accounts), making huge incomes by selling sexual hatred and misogyny. And their legions of followers? Basement trolls blaming (and hating) young women for their own failures? This cannot end well.

Thanks again for a well-written, well-resourced, no-holds-barred piece of journalism. I'm pretty sure this is what the Substack creators had in mind when they started it.
