“They’re still attached to an era of debauchery without accountability.” “…Brand, who is now viewed as some sort of long-haired, loin-cloth-wearing Yoda of higher selfdom.” “Ruining [women] widens the girth of their self-professed importance.” “Yet still there is a rage in my gut, and there has been for days about the amount of space men assume they can occupy, leaving women in their wake.” OMG your writing is SO cathartic

I didn’t think you literally forgot, I was being rhetorical. It occurred to me though that there is sometimes a correlation between someone who sexually abuses women and Antisemitism. Both are odious. I never understood why RB was ‘hot’ and feted by everyone. I never liked the guy, and now I know why. Thanks for your excellent reporting and giving a voice to the women he abused.🐺

You also forget his Antisemitism. But back to the allegations, I’m not surprised. Always found something not quite right with him. I pray the victims get their justice and that RB pays the price. Here’s another pathetic defense of him that won’t age well: https://x.com/benshapiro/status/1703878739879137597?s=46&t=FPJmBc2ElcU4bdnMePAefA

I don't forget. But I wanted to veer from Corbyn etc in this piece, so it can speak to everyone.
