Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein and the women who abuse other women
"Men are many, many times more likely than women to sexually assault and abuse others. Women like Maxwell are rare.
But that doesn't mean they're nonexistent or that actions like those Maxwell is accused of are unprecedented. If Maxwell was as effective a manipulator and groomer of girls as the indictment suggests, it's for the same reason she's such a difficult character for the public to understand: We don't expect adult women to sexually prey on girls; we expect that, if an adult woman is in the room with vulnerable teenage girls, any men present will behave better. We expect women to moderate men's bad acts, not abet them.
One of these women has protected a man who's been accused of sexual assault by 24 women. The other is Ghislaine Maxwell.
