"I'm speaking to other men like what the heck are we doing as young boys, teenagers, young men, people who achieve a level of wealth, status, power that this is acceptable? ...

Because ultimately this has to come down to guys telling other guys, "Hell no. No, this cannot be acceptable.'"

"When these occurrences happen, which is tragically frequently, I find myself wondering what is going on in male culture that breeds this mindset. It's a systemic thing. This is affecting men who are wealthy and poor, white, black, and people of color in sall different sectors and fields. And it's like what the heck are we doing?"

"But these days, as opposed to Cesar Chavez’s days, when women’s rights lagged behind other civil rights advances, there’s a lot more of it in conservative religious settings that intentionally elevate men above women, use harsh parenting to teaching children to unquestioningly obey authority, and restrict women’s roles."

"Because whether you’re talking about Cesar Chavez or Joseph Duggar—that’s right, a second Duggar son has been arrested for the sexual abuse of children—it’s all the same thing.

It’s patriarchy. It’s the abuse of power. It’s some people being assigned a lesser value than other people.

It can happen anywhere, and it does."

"I’ve seen a few more conservative types commenting on the Chavez story with something akin to, “See, abuse happens in liberal circles, too.” And that’s true, it can, and it does.

But this kind of statement is also misleading."

"If Chavez was anything like legions of other men, including Epstein and Pelicot, then he abused and raped girls and women out of the arrogant belief that he had the right to — that their experience of his crimes did not matter. That they did not matter in their bodily autonomy, their dignity, or their personhood."

"We have, in the Chavez case, an important reminder that even progressive politics and the passionate belief in certain kinds of justice is no bulwark against the misogyny that envisages girls and women as, effectively, human property."
