Also got curious about this fellow:
"Gore Vidal" - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gore_Vidal
Man, what terrible things he said about the Roman Polanski rape case.
I noticed something really odd: I actually didn't feel a lot of rage about this. I guess it's because I never really read anything by him before, and I was just reading about him now, out of curiosity.
I did feel sick though. Physically ill.
And I felt almost a weird kind of awe or curiosity about how badly he got warped by his patriarchal culture. It really got into his brain, the patriarchy did. His need to dehumanize her so much just seemed so bizarre and unbelievable.
Wonder what he might have said about the victims of Epstein. Ugh.
