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."

“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.

#Sapphics have long experienced the #pressures of #sexualization, even in their own communities. #Bisexuals have been called “fence sitters,” viewed as “failed #lesbians” or “#experiments,” #ostracized by both #straight and #queer #people alike.
