This administration is all-in when it comes to grown men who are into abusing children.
The US secretly flew an American diplomat out of the UK after he was found with child abuse images during a dawn raid, reportedly without notifying British police beforehand.

The feminist movement was never a threat to men.
Secure men have always understood that. They stood beside women, fought for equality, and some proudly called themselves feminists too.
If women having equal power feels like oppression to you, feminism isn’t the problem.
