@heidilifeldman as a fellow heterosexual male I humbly invite Gelertner to keep any generalizations about demographics I share with him out of his fucking mouth.
Nasty trash-ass misogynist.
So... he writes out "goodlooking" but abbreviates "very".
One could assume that he recognized, in this context, "very small" was a proxy for "childlike" and resorted to abbreviation to pretend this wasn't v creepy.
And were he aware of E's history, mentioning this characteristic seems to be an attempt to ingratiate himself with E.
A shame that all of the men Gelernter knows allegedly "behave" like this.
That explains a lot, but it excuses nothing.
Sad to say, he is right.
" (This is how men behave.)”
Yeah they do.
Not all, but enough so that no woman over 18 escapes being judged for their attraction, rather than her qualifications.
July 2009 was when Epstein was released from sleep-away jail.
He hired the Public Relations firm of Peggy Siegal to rehabilitate his image. Less nightlife and restaurants. He told Ghislaine to maintain distance from him for deniability.
That was when Epstein started courting universities becoming a big donor. He began to hold soirees for academics. He sponsored scholarships.
He found a few choice buddies like Dershowitz.
I doubt everyone he courted to put a shine on his reputation participated in his lifestyle or even knew much about it. Predators don't announce their crimes. They probably could figure out quickly that he was a womanizer. Most would not assume this also meant children.
(Story 2020) Siegal is a publicist by trade, like Nancy Haberman, Maggie's mother Some porky pies and whoppers are told.

@heidilifeldman
How are these sexual predator professors not banned from campus immediately? Larry Summers is still officially employed at Harvard as well 🤮
@heidilifeldman the apology is worse than the email. Barf.
"“This one was obsessed with girls (like every other unmarried billionaire in Manhattan; in fact, like every other heterosex male), and if I hadn't said what I did in that letter ten-odd years ago, he would certainly have called me & asked for a lot more aesthetic detail. (This is how men behave.)”"
