Yale computer science professor David Gelernter defended recommending a young woman to Jeffrey Epstein because he was trying to satisfy the sex offender's "habits."
On Wednesday, the professor attempted to explain the email to the Dean of the School of Engineering & Applied Science, Jeffrey Brock
I was recommending her for a job I thought she'd like," Gelernter said in the email obtained by the Yale News. "When you do that--when you actually care about a rec letter--you keep the potential boss's habits in mind."
"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)," he added. "So long as I said nothing that dishonored her in any conceivable way, I'd have told him more or less what he wanted. She was smart, charming & gorgeous. Ought I to have suppressed that info? Never!"

No, most heterosex males are NOT "obsessed with girls". And this woman wasn't a "girl" if she was old enough for this job. Did he warn this woman that he was recommending her for a job with a predator?

(6,244 posts)Its like how a thief thinks everyone is a thief, I guess. These degenerate freaks literally believe that there is nothing wrong with what theyre doing, and, everyone else is the problem. I wonder if they secretly know how evil they are, and, All men simply cant help themselves! is just a story they tell themselves over and over so that they can sleep at night rather than instantly killing themselves due to being such massive pieces of shit?
