In this episode of Rage on the Rocks, we’re looking straight at power – who has it, who’s protected, and who pays the price. We rage about how systems continue to shield men who abuse and exploit women: from the global “online rape academy” ecosystem teaching men how to drug and assault women, to the French Pelicot case where one woman had to drag 51 men through court to be believed, to the Epstein saga where only Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have been jailed while the powerful men alleged to have used that network remain untouched.

We also unpack the “not all men” phenomenon – how a technically true statement so often recentres men’s discomfort and derails conversations about women’s safety, instead of asking what collective responsibility from good men should actually look like. This one is about naming the patterns that make us rage, and refusing to look away.
