So few things.. first his comments about the fact that the victim wrt minsky presenting herself as willing makes perfect sense.

First as he said it is no less wrong but because she is being coerced she would not have said so to Minsky. Epstein is the bad person for coercing for sure, and he had said as much,. But since its unlikely minsky knew, and the victim never said anything to the contrary, its a perfectly reasonable assumption and not in anyway hurtful, to think Minsky was ignorant to that coercion and that the guilt of doing so rests on Epsteins shoulders not Minsky's... How does speaking the truth on the matter hurt victims? Its not like he implied the act was ok or that the victim was any less victimized, he simply stated where the blame for corersion rested.

Second what he said on pedophilia needs to be taken in context. What he said was it doesn't make sense for pedophilia to be morally defined by where you live. A 17 year old would be underage in the USA but that is the age of consent in england for example. In fact since he said it while talking about a case where the woman was 17 it is clear he was talking about cases where the age is borderline. He was never talking about consenting 10 year olds being ok. This argument as well is nothing to throw a fit over, his point is entirely valid in that regard.

Im fact nothing he said in those emails were even remotely problematic and in no way should even be an issue right now. In my mind it makes no sense and comes across as just toxic and unnecessary yo blow it up the way people have.
