'Of all the commentary on this story, the one I found most revealing was feminist Moira Donegan’s “The real victims of Olivia Nuzzi’s affair with RFK Jr are other female journalists” in The Guardian.

It is exasperating, but reassuring that, as with every other ideological stance in that rag, nobody outside their intimate circle of virtue vultures gives them any credence whatsoever.
