- Reposted by Samantha (Sam) MillsIt's hard to overstate how NORMAL it was to sexualize teen girls when I was growing up. "Jailbait" jokes were everywhere, I was constantly sexually harassed by men in cars when walking to school in 6th grade. Epstein is of an cohort where it was GENERALLY maybe a little edgy but not extreme.
