I am fascinated by that.
Like, where did you guys find the time to be doing all this emailing?
Noam Chomsky?
Mm-hmm.
Noam Chomsky, like you could knock me over with a feather.
All of these people who have claimed moral high ground for decades now, and we find out that they are down in the muck with everyone else, and that not one of them has even been opportunistic enough to say, let me go in a different direction here and be a beacon of restorative justice, even if it's not real, but let me at least purport to advocate for something like that.
I'm fascinated by that.
And again, it comes back to the hatred of women.
Because if it was other kinds of crimes, I suspect someone would have stepped forward.
But there is something in our culture that has let these men think, oh, I just got caught with my hand in the cookie jar.
Like, oh, I've been a bad boy.
I'm like, no, you've actually been a criminal.
And you're not a boy.
You're a man.
You're the opposite of a boy.
And so it just is infuriating.
I have to believe that someday we're going to see all of the files, but I also think I'm deluding myself a little because if they haven't been leaked by now, I don't know that whatever's in there is so incendiary that they aren't going to be leaked because people in power are being protected.
It's a shame.
It's more than a shame.
It's a disgrace and it's frustrating.
