Journal Entry

You ever notice how the same breed of man ends up on top, no matter where you look? The elite male—the one who sees everything as a commodity, especially women. To him, it’s all for sale: power, loyalty, bodies, souls. Politicians, cops, CEOs—doesn’t matter. It’s all just a game of leverage, and he’s got his foot on the scales. Everything’s a transaction, every relationship a way to extract value.

This kind of man, the one sitting at the head of the table in every backroom deal, sees the world through a lens of ownership. People aren’t individuals; they’re assets to be managed, bought, sold, discarded. Women? Oh, he loves women—loves them the way he loves money, as something to acquire, control, and trade for pleasure, status, or both. The moment she steps out of line, the moment she stops serving his purpose, she’s cast aside like a bad investment. Just like that.

These men, these elites, they live in a bubble where everything is up for grabs. Politicians, they’re just another type of businessman, only their currency is votes and influence. They take bribes from society—not in envelopes stuffed with cash (i hope) but in the form of power and protection. The people cheer them on, thinking these men will somehow work in their favor, but in the end, they’re all the same: They’re cashing checks made out of the public’s trust, and we’re the ones footing the bill.

And cops? They aren’t the law—they’re the enforcers for these elites. The foot soldiers of a system that lets the rich and powerful play their game while the rest of us pay the price. The badge might say “to protect and serve,” but who are they really protecting? Who are they really serving? The elites. The bosses. The men at the top who need their power maintained. These cops take bribes, too—maybe not in money, but in the form of status, immunity, the ability to operate above the law while enforcing it on everyone else.

It’s a pyramid scheme, really, and we’re all stuck at the bottom. The bosses and CEOs, they’re no different from the politicians or the cops. They just operate in a different part of the system, but the goal is the same: power, control, and keeping the rest of us in our place. They play golf with politicians, drink whiskey with cops, and shake hands over contracts that keep them insulated from the consequences of their own greed.

And women? Women are just another pawn in their game. They’re either trophies or tools, commodities they can exploit for their gain. These men collect women the way they collect cars or real estate—something to flaunt, to use, to show off in their circles of power. And when these women are no longer useful, no longer willing to play by the rules, they’re discarded just like the rest of us. It’s all part of the same game.

Let’s be clear—this isn’t about painting women as powerless pawns or some sexist caricature where men are the only ones playing the game. Women can play, too. They’ve always been players in this grand chessboard of power and manipulation, and in many ways, they have to be. In a world run by elites, whether corporate titans or political power-brokers, survival often means learning the rules, navigating the game, and sometimes even turning the system on its head.

But, statistically speaking, men are the ones who push the limits when it comes to deviancy. It’s not to say women can’t or don’t manipulate sex and power—they absolutely do—but when it comes to the sheer scale of sexual exploitation, men have held the crown. And that’s not just my opinion, that’s fact.

Look at the numbers. Look at the history. The endless headlines about CEOs caught in scandals, politicians with secret affairs, human trafficking rings run by men in power. It’s all there, laid bare for anyone paying attention. Men, by and large, have turned sexual deviance into a currency of control. They use it to assert dominance, to degrade, to consume. It’s not always about pleasure—it’s about power. That’s the real driver. It’s about who holds it and how they wield it to bend the world to their will.

Globally, when it comes to sexual exploitation and deviance, men are the undeniable frontrunners. The data doesn’t lie, no matter how you slice it—men overwhelmingly dominate the statistics when it comes to sexual violence, trafficking, harassment, and exploitation. And yeah, I know, it’s not the most comfortable truth, but ignoring it doesn’t make it any less real.

Take sexual violence, for starters. According to global reports, the vast majority of perpetrators are men. Whether we’re talking about sexual assault, harassment, or human trafficking, men account for a staggering proportion of these crimes. In fact, a UN report showed that globally, about 1 in 3 women will experience physical or sexual violence in her lifetime, mostly at the hands of male partners or acquaintances. It’s hard to shake the numbers when they’re this loud.

And then there’s the trafficking industry, one of the darkest and most grotesque arenas of exploitation. Over 70% of human trafficking victims worldwide are women and girls, sold into slavery for sex or labor. And who’s behind it? Mostly men, running these operations as if human lives are just another commodity in their endless quest for power and profit. It’s not just a crime; it’s an industry. A multi-billion-dollar global enterprise that preys on the vulnerable, and the majority of its architects are men.

Now, that’s not to say women can’t or don’t participate in these systems. Women can absolutely be complicit in exploitation. Let’s not forget, power itself is genderless. The game is open to anyone with the means and the drive to play. Women can and do manipulate systems of power, often in ways far more subtle, far more cunning than men. History’s full of women who’ve pulled strings behind the scenes, wielding influence not through brute force, but through intellect, charm, and their own version of control. But when it comes to raw numbers the data speaks.

There are women who’ve turned the system to their advantage, who’ve learned to play the game and come out on top. But statistically, when you look at the sheer scale of abuse, the majority of the culprits are men. And the motivations? They’re almost always about power, dominance, and control, not just physical pleasure. That’s what makes it so sinister.

It’s not that women are incapable historically, but Men have been the ones with the unchecked access to do it. Society, for better or worse, has given men the space, the protection, and the cultural license to act on these impulses while letting them off the hook. A man in power gets caught in a scandal? He’s “troubled,” or maybe “fallen.” There’s always a way back, a redemption arc, as if the system is built to forgive, to let him re-enter the fold after he’s paid the bare minimum of penance.

And here’s the sick part: for some men, the deviance isn’t the scandal. It’s part of the thrill, the proof of their untouchable status. They don’t just break the rules; they flaunt their ability to do so without consequence. It’s the ultimate flex in a world that rewards audacity and punishes weakness. These men collect power through sexual domination, through exploiting the vulnerabilities of others, often women, because they can. Because society has been all too willing to look the other way.

But here’s the thing: It’s not just about individual men or isolated corruption. It’s the entire structure that’s built to serve these elite males—the politicians, the cops, the bosses. They protect each other, trade favors, look the other way when it suits them. They keep the system running, taking bribes from society in the form of power and privilege, all while we’re left scrambling for the scraps.

The worst part is how well it all works. It’s designed that way. It’s not broken—it’s working exactly as intended. The elites at the top stay there, cushioned by the labor, the silence, the suffering of everyone below them. They’ve turned everything into a commodity, including our very lives, and they take what they want without consequence.

Because who’s going to stop them? The cops? The politicians? The CEOs? It’s all one big network of mutual benefit, one hand washing the other while the rest of us are left in the cold. The elites have rigged the system in their favor, and they’ll keep taking, keep commodifying, until there’s nothing left. And as long as we play along, as long as we pretend they’ll fix things, they’ll keep getting away with it.

Everything’s for sale, including justice. Including us.
