Training Grounds: The Rapist Pipeline

Leslie Poston:

Welcome back to PsyberSpace. I'm your host, Dr. Leslie Poston. And if you're a regular listener, you may have been wondering where we were for the last two weeks. We don't usually miss an episode.

Leslie Poston:

And the answer is I was calming myself down. I knew that this story was important as the next topic for our podcast, and I pride myself on trying to be balanced and accurate and academic as I give you the tools you need to understand and survive this wacky world we're all in right now, this increasingly volatile world that we're all in right now. And some topics affect me deeply and personally, and that's a little harder to do. So I apologize for the gap. As a woman in America, this topic resonated with me.

Leslie Poston:

I join in people saying I am Jane Doe this week, and this may be a longer episode. I have done my best to be comprehensive and balanced in my discussion of this topic. Without further ado, let's get started. This week, we're talking about the Cornell seven rape case, about how a group chat at a fraternity house connects to the Epstein flight logs, and how United States institutions build up and protect men who harm women. If you're not aware, I'm not sure how that would be, but if somehow you're not aware, a former Cornell student filed a 101 page lawsuit on September fourteenth of this year, alleging that seven members of the key five fraternity drugged and gang raped her for seven hours in October 2024.

Leslie Poston:

In the weeks since, the local DA reopened a criminal investigation he closed two years ago. Governor Hochul took the case out of his hands and assigned attorney general Letitia James as special prosecutor. Hundreds of Cornell students rallied against the university administration. The victim herself was doxxed, swatted, and received death threats telling her to drop her lawsuit. And in the past two weeks alone, similar stories have broken at LSU, the University of Chicago, Temple University, and more.

Leslie Poston:

It's also come out that one of the accused Cornell men already transferred to another university in Florida and is enrolled there. This week, we're going to do our best to work through what happened, look at what research says about why it keeps happening, and understand what connects a frat house group chat to the people currently running this country at every level. As a media creator on a podcast, I must use the term alleged when I talk about this topic because this lawsuit is pending. The alleged assault happened in October 24, like we said. The twenty year old victim, Jane Doe, was a Cornell undergrad and sorority member at the time of the attack.

Leslie Poston:

Her lawsuit says she'd been drinking with her Tri Delta sorority sisters earlier that evening and a bit later at an Ithaca nightclub. And that around eleven p. M, she walked alone to the Qui Fi fraternity house on campus to visit someone she considered a friend who was a member. Make note of that detail. I can't stress enough how common it is for an assaulter to be a woman's friend and not a stranger.

Leslie Poston:

That betrayal of trust is part of the injury. The research on acquaintance assault consistently finds that survivors assaulted by someone they knew report more severe long term symptoms than survivors assaulted by strangers, specifically because the attack happened inside a relationship the survivor had reason to believe was safe. That same friend and another fraternity member gave Jane Doe more alcohol, pressured her into snorting a substance they said was ketamine, and then sexually assaulted her while she was incapable of consent. At roughly 01:42 a. M, according to the suit, one of the men sent a message to the fraternity's Snapchat group chat titled KeyFi Actives saying there was free pussy upstairs.

Leslie Poston:

That group chat had nearly 60 active members in it. Research on group communication shows us that a message like that functions as permission granting, not just information. Writing it down in front of more than 50 other men turns an individual impulse into a group event, and the men who received it processed it inside that social context steeped in rape culture. Multiple fraternity members then entered the room. The complaint alleges they pressured her into taking more ketamine, poured ketamine onto her body and snorted it off her, and sexually assaulted her for nearly seven hours.

Leslie Poston:

She reported the incident to Cornell University police on 11/08/2024. Cornell suspended the Qui Phi chapter and the seven accused students briefly that same day. The university then conducted an internal investigation in May 2025, months later. Two of the seven were expelled, and the other five received lesser sanctions. According to Jane Doe's lawsuit, those five were given the option to mitigate their conduct by submitting essays to the university.

Leslie Poston:

Five of the seven graduated from Cornell. The Tompkins County District Attorney, Matthew Van Houten, declined to bring criminal charges. On 09/28/2026, two weeks after the civil lawsuit was filed, Van Houten announced he was reopening the criminal case for grand jury review. He also publicly stated that Jane Doe's original sworn statements to police differed significantly from the allegations in the new civil complaint. Trauma memory research consistently shows that survivors recall assaults in fragments that fill in and reorganize over time, especially when mind altering drugs or alcohol are involved.

Leslie Poston:

A statement given three weeks after an assault and a statement given two years later shouldn't match perfectly. If they do, that's often the sign of a rehearsed account rather than an authentic one. The New York Times then obtained a cache of Cornell's internal investigation documents, including a text to Jane Doe sent to one of the accused men the same day she filed her police report. And that text read, I know you lied. She was clear from day one about who did what.

Leslie Poston:

The internal documents also show that in the weeks after the assault, the Quay Fye brothers' private messages focused on how the spreading stories would affect them, not on what had happened to her. Three days after Van Houten reopened the case, governor Kathy Hochul took it out of his hands entirely and, as we mentioned, assigned attorney general Letitia James as a special prosecutor over the investigation. Hundreds of Cornell students rallied on October 5. Faculty filed a no confidence resolution against president Michael Kotlikov with at least one professor publicly calling for his resignation. On October thirteenth of this month, Cornell banned all fraternity parties for the rest of the academic year across its 34 houses and announced it was transferring investigative authority for sex crimes from campus police to the New York State Police with trauma informed investigators, which frankly is where these cases belong.

Leslie Poston:

Two years of institutional silence was broken by one month of concentrated public attention. While all of that was happening, the retaliation against Jane Doe, the victim, began. But we'll come back to that. I'm not being metaphorical when I say universities are where sexual assault cases go to die. That's what happens procedurally when any student reports.

Leslie Poston:

Campus Title IX processes use a preponderance of evidence standard, which means the finding comes down to whether something was more likely than not to have happened. Criminal courts use beyond a reasonable doubt, which is a much higher bar. The lower campus standard should produce more findings of responsibility than the criminal court does, but instead, it produces mild sanctions far more often than it produces expulsions, and criminal courts rarely see those cases at all. Universities have standing reasons to keep outcomes small, reasons like donor relations, rankings, the lawsuits that accused students have been bringing since the 2020 Title IX revisions under DeVos. Expelling a student creates a legal and reputational exposure that essays and workshops don't.

Leslie Poston:

Police and district attorneys decline these cases citing credibility concerns, especially when alcohol or drugs are in the picture. The result is a two track system where the campus says the matter is being handled through law enforcement, and law enforcement says the matter is being handled through the campus, and nothing actually gets handled, leaving the victims to suffer. Cornell did exactly that. LSU is doing it right now too in real time. In October 2025, a freshman named Kendall Francis went to the dorm of an LSU football player named Damian Shankland, who she'd met through social media.

Leslie Poston:

In July 2026, LSU's Title Nine office found Shankland responsible for the forcible rape, and Francis's complaint had been dragged out for months with the deadlines pushed back repeatedly. The initial punishment was a one year suspension. On appeal, that was reduced to probation. Shanklin is still enrolled at LSU, and he's still on the football team. The university's documents acknowledge that he admitted he didn't ask for consent.

Leslie Poston:

He didn't stop when he later asked, and she went silent. LSU's president publicly defended the university's process. Frances didn't realize Title IX was a separate process from criminal charges, and only after her TikTok videos about this went viral in September did the East Baton Rouge DA open a criminal investigation. The Title IX finding of forcible rape produced a probationary slab, while the public pressure produced the first real move toward accountability. Horneux's own data confirms this is not new or isolated.

Leslie Poston:

The university's 2025 Campus Climate Survey found that thirty five percent of undergraduate women reported experiencing nonconsensual sexual contact during their time at Cornell. That is up from twenty three percent in 2023. Even accounting for any methodology concerns, these aren't fringe experiences, and the rate of women actually reporting these incidents to the university or to police is a tiny fraction of what happens. Decades of research on campus sexual assault has shown us that the majority of these assaults are committed by serial perpetrators. Men who assault once and then stop are the exception, not the rule.

Leslie Poston:

Most campus rape is repeat behavior by the same offenders against multiple victims. Interrupting that behavior early is the only way it stops. Not interrupting it is how it continues. And yet that's the choice that institutions keep making. There is one contrasting university story.

Leslie Poston:

Temple University had multiple sexual assault reports possibly linked to the same suspect. And Temple placed the accused student on interim suspension and banned him from campus within days of the reports. The university coordinated with Philadelphia PD immediately. Universities aren't incapable of acting fast. Cornell and LSU aren't incapable.

Leslie Poston:

They're just unwilling. Which institution gets which response has a lot less to do with the facts of a case than what the institution has to lose by taking action. The research on institutional betrayal, which I've talked about on the show before, covers this very accurately. The reason students at Cornell are protesting in 2026 is the exact same reason students at Columbia were protesting in 2014. It's just the system doing what it was built to do.

Leslie Poston:

Young men don't arrive at the fraternity as a blank slate. The Ke Phi Actives chat didn't invent men coordinating sexual access to a woman. The men who sent and received that message had been in similar chats since middle school, and they'd been watching the men in their families treat women a certain way since they were old enough to notice. This episode is building toward the way campus produces the men who move up through American power. And campus is step three in a longer sequence, not step one.

Leslie Poston:

Step one is the home. Boys learn how to speak to women, about women, and in front of women by listening to the men who raise them and the men those men hang around with. The vocabulary that gets used, the jokes that get told, which women get valued and which ones get dismissed, how a mother or a stepmother or an aunt gets interrupted mid sentence. All of those microaggressions and tiny harms and sometimes big harms and physical harms become what adult relationships sound like in a boy's head long before he starts dating himself. Step two is the screen.

Leslie Poston:

The median American boy encounters pornography at around age 12, with substantial exposure as young as nine and 10, usually through algorithmic recommendation, not active searching. Most of what's available to children on the mainstream porn sites depicts behavior that would be criminal if performed on an unconscious adult. Boys are learning what sex looked like from that content before they've learned what consent looks like from anywhere else. By 14, the TikTok and YouTube algorithms have fed these boys a study diet of Andrew Tate and men that worship Andrew Tate and men like him. Studies where they created accounts registered as 13 year old boys and watched what the algorithm served them found Andrew Tate content appearing within minutes of sign up and compounded from there.

Leslie Poston:

Andrew Tate was indicted in Romania for rape and human trafficking in 2023 and extradited to The US in 2025. Billions of views online of his content happened in between. By 16, if the boy has gone looking, he spent time in what has come to be known the manosphere, which we're sure you've heard about because we've talked about it on the show. Red pill content, MGTOW content, incels, pickup artists, all of it works as a coordinated set of rationales for why women are the problem, and whatever he does about them or to them is justified. Even now, looksmaxing content on TikTok borrows the ranking systems from incel forums wholesale.

Leslie Poston:

Boys measure their canthal tilt, their jawline, their height, and sort themselves into chads and subhumans using frameworks developed in the forums that produced Elliot Rodger and Alec Manassian. Peer culture is doing its own work around the same age. The UK's Everyone's Invited project collected over 50,000 testimonies documenting peer level sexual harassment and assault in schools starting as early as primary grades. In The US, Westfield High School in New Jersey had the deepfake nudes case in 2024, where boys at the school generated AI produced sexual imagery of their female classmates and then circulated it. There was a Michigan high school with a ranking spreadsheet case.

Leslie Poston:

There have been dozens of similar incidents in the last few years that got local coverage and no national conversation. Heck, Facebook was started by Zuckerberg as a tool to rank his fellow women in class, hot or not. And now he has billions of dollars and billions of users on his platform. By the time these boys apply to Cordell, they'd been in group chats where boys rate girls, share nudes obtained without consent, slut shame classmates, and coordinate harassment. The key fide message wouldn't register as foreign to him, it would just feel familiar, which is a specific psychological state.

Leslie Poston:

Familiar things don't trigger moral attention the way foreign feeling things do. That's a core finding in research on moral cognition, which we've talked about in other episodes. What the fraternity adds on to the top of all this is institutional cover. The social learning research that I've referenced before on the show has a specific name for this called vicarious reinforcement. Men learn what they can get away with by watching the men around them get away with it.

Leslie Poston:

The key phi chat is not a bystander failure. I established in the Bystander episode that in public settings with strangers, intervention happens roughly 90% of the time. The frat chat has none of the conditions that produce intervention in that research. The men know each other and share status investments. Thus, they read the invitation as a benefit and not a harm.

Leslie Poston:

They'd pay a social cost for breaking rank. Social identity research on bystander behavior predicts what the ShiFi members did, which was nothing, because they were not confronted with the harm. Just a few days ago in Chicago, this dynamic played out in a room instead of a group chat. A 21 year old woman was sexually assaulted at an Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity party at the University of Chicago on October 11. According to the police report, two of her friends realized what was happening and barged into the bathroom to intervene.

Leslie Poston:

When they confronted the man outside the house afterward, another man at the party told them they had identified the wrong person and pointed them in a different direction while the real attacker fled. That's in group protection operating in real time. Men who have no personal stake in the specific assault stepping in to protect the man who did the assault, because the man is one of them and women are not. The research on ambivalent sexism adds another layer to this processing. Hostile and benevolent sexism are measurable attitudes that get normalized through observed social consensus.

Leslie Poston:

The frat house is a setting designed to produce and enforce that consensus. The history of white college fraternities in The US goes all the way back to the nineteenth century, and sexual conquest has been a recurring status marker inside frats from the start. And this brings us back to Jane Doe, upstairs at 2AM with 57 men having seen the message that she was there. Seven harming her. The ones who went up and participated were graduates of a longer training process whose first lesson came at home, and whose latest confirmation came from the message that everyone saw and nobody flagged.

Leslie Poston:

The childhood and teen formation chunk of this is going to get its own episode later this fall, but today we're going stay focused on what campus adds to the problem and where it all leads. Women keep having to produce overwhelming amounts of evidence just to be heard. We often refer to that as receipts. And I mean receipts in a very specific sense. A woman has been assaulted and the institution won't act.

Leslie Poston:

The police won't investigate and the public won't believe her. So in order to make them act, investigate or believe her requires receipts that harm was done to her. We can see the way women are forced to produce receipts across multiple cases. For example, Emma Solkowitz at Columbia in 2014 reported being raped by another student in her dorm. The university's internal process cleared him.

Leslie Poston:

Her Title IX complaint didn't go anywhere. Her senior thesis in visual arts became an act of carrying her dorm mattress, the mattress she said she'd been assaulted on, with her everywhere she went on campus for nine months. She couldn't ask for help carrying it, but she could accept help if it was offered. She stopped only when she graduated, with friends helping her haul the mattress across the stage at commencement. Columbia's president at the time, Lee Bollinger, turned physically away from her as she crossed and did not shake her hand.

Leslie Poston:

There's video of this. I will try and find it and put it in the show notes. Jane Doe at Cornell in 2026 had to file a 101 page civil complaint we've been talking about here. Kendall Francis at LSU, a series of TikTok videos started her process, and then more famously, more recently, Gisele Pelicot in France in 2024 waived her anonymity, insisted the trial be public, and demanded the videos her husband recorded of the assaults be shown in open court. She said in her closing statement that shame should change sides, and I agree with her.

Leslie Poston:

The Serbian group Osmazin in 2024 involved three women who founded a rights organization and then physically infiltrated telegram groups where men were sharing images of assaults and coordinating harassment. They documented the groups from the inside, which is how we have specific knowledge of what was in those groups. A separate spreadsheet, publicly maintained in 2026, tracks every day a U. S. Law enforcement officer is charged with or sentenced for a sex crime.

Leslie Poston:

As of day two sixty two of this year, a couple of weeks ago, when I was originally writing this episode, the count was one per day, every day, with no gaps. I checked in on the spreadsheet with linked receipts today, and it has continued. Daily assault every day with no gaps. And big thanks to Rachel L for maintaining that spreadsheet. In the past two weeks, a new form of receipt has emerged.

Leslie Poston:

After the Cornell lawsuit broke, online commentators, including people like Michael Tracy, began publicly trying to identify and expose Jane Doe. Thousands of women responded by posting the hashtag IAmJaneDo on TikTok, trying to confuse the algorithm and obscure the real victim's identity. At least three other women were misidentified and received threats. One video in the Solidarity campaign hit over 4,000,000 views. The format for Proof and Solidarity has changed over time.

Leslie Poston:

Analog performances in twenty fourteen, legal pleadings, plus preserved digital evidence in 2024, 2026, direct to camera storytelling, TikTok in 2026, open courtrooms with video testimony, crowdsourced databases, distributed hashtag solidarity. Each one is a response to the specific refusal of its moment. And each one makes the next one possible, because each one lowers the cost of belief for the next woman who has to document her own case to be heard. Why women have to produce receipts at all actually has an answer found in research. Decades of work on rape myths has catalogued the false beliefs that predict institutional responses more reliably than the facts of a case do.

Leslie Poston:

The false belief that women lie about rape or that drunk women are responsible for what happens to them or that the only real rape is by a stranger at a dark alley or if she went willingly to his room, then she must have consented to anything that followed. Every one of these myths got activated in the Cornell case already, in Ben Houghton's public statements and in the social media response to the lawsuit. Newer research has also given us a name for the sympathy that tilts toward male perpetrators who have perceived futures to lose. The researcher called it hempathy. The ruined lives framing around the Cornell seven or the character defenses offered for the Pelico defendants, the judge on the Brock Turner sentencing, citing his swimming career impact.

Leslie Poston:

There's also a specific response pattern called DARVO, which I'm sure you've heard of, which stands for deny, attack, reverse victim, and offender. Paul Nungasser suing Columbia for allowing Solkewitz's thesis was textbook DARVO. The Pretty Little Liar posters that appeared in Morningside Heights the day after Solkewitz's graduation were the attack phase of that. What's happening to Jane Doe right now is Darvo at scale and at a speed that nothing in research literature could anticipate. On October 7, someone called 911, falsely claiming a shooting at her parents' home.

Leslie Poston:

Armed police arrived with their guns drawn. They stopped and briefly detained her boyfriend and brother in a car that was just reversing out of the driveway. When her father came to the door and identified himself, police pointed guns at him too. That's called swatting, and in this country, it's gotten people killed. Jane Doe has also received death threats directly, with messages telling her to drop the lawsuit or we're going to do things that hurt you even more.

Leslie Poston:

Her lawyer has been threatened. These things are the cost women pay for producing their receipts in 2026. The fake naming controversy over the Cornell seven is itself a receipt problem. Even the question of how to refer to the case has become a dispute that centers the woman as the problem in discourse. The men who are protected on college campus are the men who move up in society.

Leslie Poston:

And this is where this episode meets up with the Epstein episode I did earlier this year. Cases we've all watched play out already document this sequence. Brett Kavanaugh at Yale, where the Deak fraternity history has been reported extensively, with the Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez allegations surfacing decades after the formation period and failing to block his Supreme Court confirmation Brock Turner at Stanford the twenty minutes of action letter his father wrote asking for leniency the six month jail sentence, of which he only served three the Stupidville case and what happened to those boys afterwards documented patterns: Yale, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Baylor football, Cornell, and more. Every one of these cases involve an institutional process that protects the men. Yale didn't surrender Kavanaugh's records.

Leslie Poston:

Stanford didn't invalidate Turner's degree. The fraternities involved continue operating, and the men move on. The Cornell story is already generating a live example of the pipeline operating in real time. One of the accused Kefai men, Jonathan Newell, has already enrolled at Nova Southeastern University in Florida. The president of Nova Southeastern released a statement saying the university wasn't aware of the allegations at admission and acted immediately once they found out, but they have declined to specify what action was taken.

Leslie Poston:

Newell attended the Nova Southeastern University School, which is the pre K-twelve program affiliated with this university, before going to Cornell. Institutions protect their own. And when one institution can no longer protect him, the next one in the pipeline picked him up. Zoom out from campus with me for a moment. In 2023, a federal civil jury found that the sitting president had sexually abused and defamed the writer E.

Leslie Poston:

Jean Carroll. The trial judge wrote in a post trial ruling that Carroll's claim she was raped was substantially true, and that the only reason the jury didn't call it rape was that New York's narrow legal definition required forcible penile penetration specifically, a definition the judge said was out of step with modern federal and international understandings. The appeals process has been exhausted. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case this year, and so the verdict stands. And he's president anyway.

Leslie Poston:

More than two dozen other women have accused him of sexual misconduct over four decades. He's also a convicted felon in a separate case, the Stormy Daniels hush money matter. Of the nine justices currently on the Supreme Court, two were confirmed over credible allegations of sexual misconduct, Clarence Thomas and the Anita Hill testimony in 1991, Brett Kavanaugh and the Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, and Julie Swetnick testimony in 2018. Neither investigation was treated as the serious proceeding it would have been in any other hiring context, and both men were seated. Revisiting that 2026 public spreadsheet I mentioned earlier, it's documentation that every single day of this calendar year, a U.

Leslie Poston:

S. Law enforcement officer has been charged with or sentenced for a sex crime. That includes police officers, deputy sheriffs, correctional officers, federal officers. These are the people with legal authority to detain, search, interrogate, and incarcerate the public, including the women who try to report sexual assault. Government positions below the presidency include an ongoing and expanding roster of men who are credibly accused, investigated, or convicted of sexual misconduct against women, children, or both.

Leslie Poston:

I'm not going to run the roster. As an audience, you already know their names. The social learning point from earlier in this episode stands here. The frat member in the Keefi Actives chat didn't invent what he did. He was raised in a culture where a man adjudicated to have committed sexual abuse ascended to the presidency, where credible allegations don't block Supreme Court confirmation, and where police departments defend officers accused of exactly the crimes those officers are supposed to prevent.

Leslie Poston:

And where a billionaire with a documented trafficking network was protected for decades by Harvard, MIT, Victoria's Secret, Deutsche Bank, and the US Attorney's Office, among others. The research doesn't predict moral citizens come out of that environment. It predicts the Kefi Actives chat. So this rate pipeline is working as designed. It can feel overwhelming.

Leslie Poston:

As you know, I try and conclude each episode with a segment that involves some action you can take, some hope core, a way to get past or survive or defeat whatever issue we're talking about. This is a hard one. I mean, this whole episode has been hard to record, but this is a hard one. So let's talk about it. In every one of the cases we've covered today, public pressure forced action that the institution refused to take on its own.

Leslie Poston:

So we should focus on that moving forward. Jane Doe's 100 page civil complaint that she filed with preserved digital evidence attached and had the Cornell Daily Sun cover the lawsuit on September 18. CBS News, CNN, The Independent People, and dozens of other national outlets picked up the story in the days after. And then Alexandria Ocasio Cortez called out Cornell by name. Then student protests on October 5 drew hundreds of protesters.

Leslie Poston:

And by September 28, the DA announced a grand jury review. By October 1, Hochul had assigned AG James as special prosecutor. We've already discussed this timeline. But basically, two years of institutional silence were broken by one month of concentrated public vocal attention. Kendall Francis involved public attention broken via her TikTok video, the response to that.

Leslie Poston:

And Giselle Pellico's open courtroom gave permission for people to document these harms from the inside. The police tracking spreadsheet gives permission for accountability projects that will come next. The I am Jane Doe movement is making it harder for people like... For doctors to accomplish what they're trying to accomplish. Basically, Sunlight is working hard to end this, but these efforts to bring public attention to these harms can't just be measured in days.

Leslie Poston:

Research on trauma recovery that goes back three decades or more has established that public acknowledgment is a structural requirement for a survivor's healing, so it keeps that public pressure on and keeps the public support up. What men do to women has gone unpunished for far too long, here in America, certainly, but everywhere else as well. What women do to document it is slower, costlier, and makes the women who do it targets of the DARVO response, which was built specifically to keep women silent. The women who produce receipts take on legal, financial, and personal risk that the men they're documenting don't face. But don't stop.

Leslie Poston:

The documentation and public response is working anyway. It's getting cases reopened, it's getting consequences expanded, and it's shifting the public perception of what consent means and what it looks like to be a woman in this time. The question that research leaves us with on this issue isn't whether we can break this pattern of harm to women. The question is how many of us will have to continue to produce receipts or pay the price for producing them before we can change the system? None of what's happened is accountability yet.

Leslie Poston:

It's just the setup for it. The one thing that actually stops men from doing this is consequences. And nothing in the research or the historical record suggests that anything else works. That doesn't mean stop trying, but just know the workshops, the essays, task forces don't really work. Probation doesn't work.

Leslie Poston:

So, of course, the pattern continues when the men who perpetuate this harm face no real consequences. People repeat what gets rewarded and avoid what gets punished. And right now, what's getting rewarded is harming women. Women have done the work of producing evidence. Whether the country decides to do the work of enforcing consequences is an open question.

Leslie Poston:

So don't be silent on this issue. This was a hard episode to record, a hard episode to write. I hope that it helps someone. If I left out research that could be helpful, stemming the tide of harm to women, please put it in the comments to the show notes. There's a PsyberSpace account on Blue Sky that if you comment to an initial post of an episode, it'll actually put it under the RSS feed of the episode.

Leslie Poston:

Thanks for listening to PsyberSpace. I'm your host, Leslie Poston, signing off. As always, until next time, stay curious.
