I'm kind of tired of pretending that "sense of brotherhood" is a real, meaningful term and isn't just a euphemism for men's spaces where they bond over misogynistic humiliation rituals and coach each other on how best to commit sexual assault.

"Institutes of higher education harbour known rape dens where men foster a culture of apathy and contempt towards women and are enabled to commit sexual assault" is perhaps something we should consider more objectionable than we currently do.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

What the actual fuck

People involved include:

Thomas K. Hubbard, President and Executive Director
Ryan Conrad, Director
Michael Shimkin, former vice chair of National Association for Rational Sexual Offense Laws
Shawn Rolfe, sex offender registry reform advocate
former directors include:
Harris Mirkin
Gert Hekma
Beert Verstraete
Thomas Waugh
James Dubro
In October 2025, “Isaac Q” of the William A. Percy Foundation announced funding for “The Autogynephilia Project,” writing in part:

When contacted by Chron, Hubbard said the Epstein foundation had a "long record of supporting various academic interests."

"I was not then and am not now aware of any evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was a 'pedophile' in the technical sense; his sexual preference appears to have been for young women aged 16-22, which would at most reflect partial ephebophilia," Hubbard told Chron in an emailed statement. "Although most of the women who were involved with him at that age retrospectively regret it, I am unaware of any evidence that the contacts were non-consensual at the time."

"Some were self-conscious sex workers who recruited others into his orbit and are now making cynical claims of victimization to cash in on his estate and business partners, as reported by Michael Tracey and other credible journalists," Hubbard added. "Like over 1,000,000 Americans, he did have a conviction for a sex-related offense, but from what I could see in 2015, it was for something that would not even have been illegal in most European countries and resulted in a very short sentence."

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

Men's entitlement to extracting sex from women at any cost (to the woman), ignoring all signs of distress or pain or inability to actively participate, doesn't come from some abstract "biological" cause but a culture that reinforces sex as a woman's only function. We have not progressed past that.

It's not a conscious thing. Men don't think they see women as inferior, or believe that they take women less seriously. But women are "different", you know? Men are a certain way, women are a certain way. Women are just wired differently, like, biologically. They have a different "purpose".

I'm thinking of the countless attempts to shut down and any all discussions about patriarchy and misogyny by invoking abstract charges of "gender essentialism", or accusing feminists of thinking all men are inherently evil. The reality is actually much worse---women's pain isn't seen as real.

The thing about Gaiman is that even before the rape allegations came out, there were a lot of whispers about him being a creep and the Scientology connection was always public. But people wanted him to be their 'one good white guy' so bad so they just ignored all those.

People are very resistant to the idea that patriarchy is about a relationship to power. Is every man abusive? No, plainly not. But patriarchy affords them the ability to misuse their power in a way that people of other genders cannot. So the more power they accumulate, the greater that temptation.

The moral panic around estrangement is backlash against the small amount of cultural progress we have made for familial abuse survivors. Against the idea that parents don't get to hurt their kids, against the absolute tyranny of the heteropatriarchal family.
