Julia Baird uses the term patriarchy. I find the label, for what is the very worst aspects of male behaviour, all too dismissive of the horror such behaviour represents. I don’t know if there is an adequate term. We need a label which leaves a sour taste in the mouth and a convulsing churn in the gut. Vile serial rapists, three words where one should suffice, only cover some of the ground in question.
I’ve always liked #JuliaBaird ‘s writing and her thoughtful opinion pieces. Here she expresses disbelief as a cohort of complicit pedos assert they are innocent and indeed incredulous at what has been revealed so far by the #EpsteinFiles
