How #Epstein’s biggest financial client shaped #millennial teen culture

#VictoriasSecret and #AbercrombieAndFitch taught a generation of young people what was desirable.

by Constance Grady, Mar 12, 2026

Excerpt: "It appears that Epstein wasn’t the only bad actor surrounding Wexner. #EdRazek, former chief marketing officer at #LBrands and a close friend of Wexner’s, has been accused of nonconsensually groping Victoria’s Secret models and blackballing those who refused his advances. #MikeJeffries, the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, is awaiting trial on #SexTrafficking and prostitution charges, having allegedly targeted young men who modeled for #Abercrombie, worked as the stores’ infamous shirtless greeters, or aspired to do any of the above. Bruce Weber, a photographer who shot many of Abercrombie’s famously edgy ads, has been accused of sexually exploiting male models."

Pretty much everything is #sexualized nowadays

#sexualization

“It is illegal for women to go topless in most cities. Yet you can buy a magazine of a woman without her top on at any 7–11 store. So, you can sell breasts, but you can’t wear breasts, in America.” —Violet Rose

My #Eyes Are Up Here: On the #Hypersexualization of #Women and #Girls.

My journey through #womanhood #initiated with the early #budding of my #breasts. After less than a decade of #childhood – despite fierce #denial – my baby chest was covered with my first #training #bra. I was exposed to how the changing of my #body reflected how I #interacted with #boys.

These #homophobic #bigots are truly sick individuals. The shit they apparently fantasize about mirrors the false accusations they make about the #LGBTQ community. It's not normal or healthy for adults to spend their days hyperfocused on bizarre #child #sexualization fantasies while pretending to be champions for child safety. It is the worst sort of #projection, and a strong indicator that they are the ones who #children need to be protected from.
