It’s not really giving her a pass; it’s pointing out a societal picture of the kinds of people who perpetuate racist systems also perpetuate other forms of oppression as well. I don’t know this woman well enough to judge her life choices.

If you are in a relationship and thinking of having kids; THAT’S THE TIME to screen for genetic markers. As a dating app; it’s just kind of unnecessary. Add to that his weird association to Epstein and it feels creepy.

Roberts made “inappropriate and offensive” jokes to his staffers; to his female employees, “he frequently hugged them, touched them, and made sexual comments.” The investigators found that Roberts “treated women on the...staff differently” and, for the three women he directly targeted, “created an intimidating,…
