Celeste Davis points to what we don't want to talk about as we talk about Epstein and the Epstein Class:

"The domination is the point, along with the cruelty.
We have so very far to go before women are treated in accordance with a third logic that Kant famously identified—not fancy price, nor market price, but the logic of dignity, where our humanity as a rational subject with autonomy is honored."
