Epstein.

Files.

The cover up of this type of behavior is ridiculous. We need more people like Mr. Fuentes (with presumed financial leverage) to stand up for this not juat at the collegiate level but on all grounds. While this sh*t at Cornell is awful, what has been documented and known exists in the Epstein files is at a magnitude of scale larger.

None of these men--and these college boys-- should be allowed to go unpunished. Severely punished.

Our society will keep grappling with this…over and over…Cornell. Epstein. Me too. The list sadly goes on and on…UNTIL enough people say ā€œno more.ā€ Until enough alumni, people that those in power will actually listen to—or enough of the others—come forward and say ā€œenough.ā€

Because the behavior will continue…until ENOUGH people start saying it’s not acceptable. Especially people that the administration values. With Cornell, hitting them in the dollar sign is definitely the way to go.

I wish all serious crimes were immediately referred to the regular police. Universities have too much internal pressure to minimize, hide, and conceal.

Society has rejected

  • racism (civil rights movement)
  • sexism (women’s movement, Title IX)
It still occurs. But society as a whole has rejected it.

But, despite ā€œme tooā€ and the various frat scandals and horrors of the past decade, the environment hasn’t changed…and there’s been a tug-of-war between the two factions. We have outrage over this…and all the folks who elected the convicted rapist in chief. And the Epstein files remain hidden

I’m almost scared to ask what it will finally take to change enough minds.

So, so much hurtful misbehavior that men just won’t give up.
