I have no clue. That’s why I came here to ask this. I have no freaking clue how many males would, and do, sexually abuse people. I’m completely uneducated here, but the percentage of rich people that seem to take advantage seems to be high. I will leave it to others to decide what that means. ---

Who would hook up with him? Let’s just say it is a meat market out there, and a lot of people like their meat rich and well-aged. ---

Johnny Carson wrote one of those wafer-thin celebrity books titled _Happiness is a Dry Martini,_ a snark on Charles M. Schultz’ _Happiness is a Warm Puppy._ one entry was “happiness is being rich enough to as to be shown something less expensive.” Mr. Former Abercrombie & Fich, with the pulled skin and bleached teeth and presumably sildena-fueled penis, isn’t rich like that, as are not the wealthy predators under discussion here. Money to help hook oneself up to a dick-milking machine cum social conquest system, as well as all the other sensory overloads that beckons, makes him no better than any meth-head. (You know why they were called “smurfs?” The rush when they hit the pipe blew their blood pressure, bursting the capillaries in their fingers and other extremities; turning them blue.) Not the “peace of mind” those old E. F. Hutton ads used to promise that came from financial independence. No, someone who can afford a three-hour airplane ride for a three-second orgasm isn’t a winner in life. ---

Is it that all men would do this if rich, or is it that rich men tend to have tendencies that led them to be rich but also be depraved? Cosby, Trump, Weinstein, Epstein, Diddy, this dude, etc. Would the males from this board become sex rapists/weirdos if they were given a billion bucks? No, not all wealthy men are evil perverts. It is, however, easier to get away with being evil and depraved for a long time if you have enormous wealth, and wealth makes it easier to exploit the vulnerable. If these guys weren’t rich as hell they’d still be evil and depraved. The difference is that people who are poor and evil and depraved tend to land in jail sooner. Also, don’t generate the same headlines when they’re caught. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Who would hook up with him? > Let’s just say it is a meat market out there, and a lot of people like their meat rich and well-aged. As I mentioned in the Diddy thread, for this kind of person, if they’re willingly throwing themselves at him and enthusiastically joining in the games then it’s no thrill. It’s about the _forcing_ people to bend to his will. > [@needscoffee](#): > > You’re only reading about the ones who do it. There are far, far more who don’t. Your question was how many would do it if they were rich and powerful, and based on how many we know about now, not that many. Plus there are _other_ morally “evil” things that wealthy or powerful individuals may get away with. We’re just more personally shocked about _this_ particular angle. > [@Broomstick](#): > > It is, however, easier to get away with being evil and depraved for a long time if you have enormous wealth, and wealth makes it easier to exploit the vulnerable. > > If these guys weren’t rich as hell they’d still be evil and depraved. The difference is that people who are poor and evil and depraved tend to land in jail sooner Or get taken care of by “personal justice” on the street and then we only count them as another common crime casualty. ---

Some legal experts and women’s rights activists say consent puts scrutiny on the victim’s behaviour and words, rather than the accused, and that a person can say “yes” without actually wanting to. It does raise a valid point. If she seems to say yes, the perpetrator can claim that there was consent. Rape is often a complicated situation that is difficult to define using strict legal code, and it is not always possible for both parties to be certain as to whether a truly consensual act is taking place.
