In reply to the discussion: So I'm watching "Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich" on Netflix [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)22. I believe that having more female top leaders would help significantly.
What Epstein did was use the amorous nature of powerful men to get his way. He likely blackmailed a lot of powerful men. Women can get caught in the same trap, but my guess is their basic nature will make them less likely to get into such traps. Longterm, parents need to teach their sons that they don't need to win at everything or be "the man", basically show more humility and more concern for the wellbeing of others. A man that cared that young girls were being abused would have used his power to get Epstein put in prison for the rest of his life, not sleep with his victims.
