>>5687977>men's greatest fear>laughed at by womenI enjoyed the Handmaids Tale but Atwood's reasoning is flawed. It seems she does not have deep insight into male psychology in just as unsympathetic and comparable manner as to how men have impaired insight into women
>what men fear most about women>that their mother will someday die (look, it's Freud, Oedipus)or alternatively the contemporary a la mode equivalent
>falsely accused of rape and imprisonedthere is of course also

Crispin Odey threatened to sue financial watchdog over misconduct probe

Crispin Odey threatened to take the UK financial watchdog to court if it did not drop an investigation into sexual misconduct over almost two decades at his eponymous hedge fund firm.
The threat, which failed to stop the FCA’s investigation, underlines the financier’s aggressive methods to counter allegations about him as they accumulated over the years, a strategy that helped maintain his status at Odey Asset Management and in the City.
Fresh allegations of sexual abuse against Odey reported by the FT last week led the hedge fund firm on Saturday to push Odey out of the business, but he has suggested he would fight the move.
The FCA probe has widened in the wake of the FT’s investigation, which detailed various incidents of alleged sexual assault or harassment by Odey towards 13 women over a 25-year period. Lawyers for Odey said he “strenuously disputed” these accusations.
In his challenge against the City watchdog, Odey’s legal team argued the FCA’s investigation was unlawful and that the regulator had failed to clearly demonstrate how allegations of sexual misconduct risked harming the integrity of financial markets — which the FCA has a duty to protect — according to people with knowledge of the correspondence that was sent to the regulator in December 2021.
Lawyers for Odey, who raised the legal arguments in an individual capacity rather than on behalf of his firm, also claimed the regulator was acting outside of its statutory scope, those people added. He dropped his challenge soon after, they added.
