I regret to inform you that that Josh Barro, Megan McArdle, and Ben Dreyfuss have a podcast now where they presumably get together every week and pat each other on the back for being centrist and reasonable, not like those hysterical pundits on the left.

The victims break down, they contradict themselves, etc., And that really shifted with Me Too, but also the way it was settled, I think most people probably did not understand the details of his crimes. But the other part of this is that until Me Too, people just didn't think it was that bad. or a lot of people,

did not think it was a shunning from society, I never want to see you again, like go retire to a mountaintop and become a postal service driver because you're done in elite society if you had sex with a 16-year-old, even when you knew she was 16. Think about how many rock stars did that in the 60s and 70s, right? I mean, the way men behaved was not viewed entirely In the same kind of like that is a social death penalty offense if you commit it. And so, yeah, I think it is not improbable that someone else thought, well, this isn't really that bad.

She's 16. It's not like she's four. And we have now really shifted on how we think about that, I think, in a good way. Right. Right. I do not think that 50 year old men should be having sex with 16 year old girls. But I think that you're not going to find the evidence of a pedophile ring where he is actively trafficking these girls because until Me Too... It's not like a pedophile, right? There are 16-year-ol

'Its actually ephebophilia and Jimmy Page used to do its so its fine that we did'
