The do it because it is the ultimate power - both over their victims, and over a society around them that says this is "taboo" (I mean I think we should hang them, so don't look at me - these aren't my words.)
The whole point is "I can get away with it." It's not about your sexuality. These people are so past that and on to much "rarer delights."

@AnarchoNinaWrites #Mandelson claimed in a shameful interview with #BBC this morning that he never saw young women about the place. Here’s a photo from the UK Telegraph paper…. While he might wear glasses, and be a gay man, he can surely see this young woman right in front of him at one of #Epstein’s residences? I don’t believe for a microsecond that he was ever involved in predatory behaviour or assaults against those young women; but he’s not blind. He chose not to see.
@HarriettMB @AnarchoNinaWrites
It's entirely possible for a gay man to sexually assault any gender, plenty of women have stories of being groped and assaulted "playfully" by gay men. Sexual assault isn't about attraction it's about causing HARM through sex.
@heathen_cat @AnarchoNinaWrites It may be possible, and it may happen. What I am saying is there is absolutely NO EVIDENCE ever in any of Mandelsons’s roles that he was involved in any kind of assault or impropriety against young women or girls. Because one person somewhere does something inappropriate, does not mean that everyone who knows that person is similarly guilty. (1/2)
I’m sure we all know of someone in our neighbourhood who behaved badly - drugs, theft, assault - but because we may have been at a mutual event that does not make us guilty of their behaviour. It is important to draw a line between speculation, assumption, presumption and evidence. I have plenty of gay and trans friends, [as well as hetero ones] and none of them have ever, ever been anything but kind, decent good people. Tarring all with a bad brush is not good. (2/2)
@HarriettMB kay, this is where I jump off the ship.
Sorry, I am pretty sure Mendalsen is a pedo and I am pretty comfortable saying "he was a round a bunch of pedos in situations where pedo shit was happening so that's good enough for me."
Your distinction is not relevant to me.
@HarriettMB @AnarchoNinaWrites
he's there with a young girl in her underwear and you don't believe for a microsecond that he's involved in human trafficking?
@FranceskaMann @HarriettMB I don't think that's what Harriet is trying to say - but I also am not sure why what I think is being said, would even matter.
@FranceskaMann @HarriettMB I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, what is being said here is Mandelson, a gay man, probably did not personally rape that girl.
And like, yeah, I mean probably not.
No idea why that matters tho.
@HarriettMB I definitely believe he has been involved in some predatory behavior, and I'm not sure why it matters that it probably wasn't with underage girls.
