Ronald Lauder's mega-fortune was made on making women feel insecure about how they look and buying overpriced stuff to smear on their faces.

Why Amy Coney Barrett’s Religious Beliefs Aren’t Off Limits
Putting a member of a “covenant” community on the high court would raise a whole new set of questions about religion and the Constitution.

Nina Burleigh
Seating Amy Coney Barrett in Ginsburg's seat is such a grave insult to RBG legacy, another kick in the face to women. But it's also about keeping working people down.

What does "empowerment" mean if you are a Woman for Trump or a woman attached to the most misogynistic president and administration in modern history?

Ivanka Trump's strut through the Middle East proves misogyny has powerful enablers
The first daughter’s participation helps to camouflage this fact with public bromides about "girl power" and business stories about women entrepreneurs.

Nothing says women's empowerment like @IvankaTrump strutting her stuff at Dubai Global Women's Forum where two princesses are incarcerated for rebelling against medieval gender laws.

Why Hollywood stars should boycott the Oscars red carpet
Maybe one dark night is exactly what the industry needs to wake up to the real value of women.

If women boycotted the #oscars red carpet for a night, media and brands would lose some $100 million in earned media.

I like this theory but, besides it being in the Sun, problem is that if author Ari Ben Menashe really was ex-Mossad and handled #epstein, he'd be dead before they let him blab this, right? Thoughts spy-ologists?
