the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Anyway.

I am pretty sure that there is no woman or other person of marginalized gender in comics whose career has not been substantially impacted--whether they saw it or not--by the extent to which misogyny, expressed partly by harassment and assault, are normalized in the comics industry. (cont'd)

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.

But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

Is it bad if your stock is down almost 40% over a year despite quadrupling down on AI during a stock market bubble?

I like to think that while Doctor Doom was off fighting the Fantastic Four Kristoff let Hallmark shoot a dozen Christmas movies in Latvaria.

see also: the men who can’t let their female mentee outshine them, which results in a need to constantly talk her down, talk over her, slander her reputation, and minimize her in every way, with the hope that the woman will eventually either give up and leave academia or accept her “lesser” status
If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

235/815: BATMAN ANNUAL #14 (1990)

After damning his Journey into Knight with faint praise, I felt I owed Andrew Helfer a fair shake by returning to his magnum opus. This really is a revolutionary Two-Face story, and one which defines, fittingly, about half the character as we know him today.
