Indirectly related: the incidence of up to 4% Neanderthal DNA in some homo sapiens groups suggests to me the genetic transfer occurred via rape rather than consensual physical or emotional attraction, or tribal sharing of women. But men being men, the rape could have occurred in either or both directions. This idea also presupposes these were low density groups such that the woman could “wander off” during her gathering efforts and become more isolated that would normally have been the case. Everyone acts like this genetic transfer happened consensually in all cases, and I am suspicious of that viewpoint.

Your comment also suggests the women involved have more agency over the selection of their marriage partner than had been the case historically until relatively recent times.

Your comment about the mindset of Marx is enlightening and helpful in trying to understand how his ideas have been so persuasive to so many people.

Actually, if she were merely pretending to believe she was a trans man rather than actually believing she was a trans man, people would care.

The fact that her declared racial background matters to her “friends” shows just how sick Krug and her “friends” are. The society in which race is the “coin of the realm” is deeply racist. She deserves everything that is coming to her since she has promoted that racist narrative, but still, none of them are worth calling friends.

I agree that people don’t like to be lied to, but in a color blind society, no one would really care. The reason that her lies are not minor is because we are dealing with black privilege which is worth many thousands of dollars and a job and prestige for those who can claim it. If she had been a woman claiming to be a man, no one would have cared one way or another. On the other hand, a man claiming to be a woman so that he could shower with the women would raise some eyebrows – or maybe not.

I haven’t a clue.

I’m old, but I’m not that old 🙂 .

Well, most people – even friends – don’t like being lied to, except for something really minor. And race isn’t that minor. It is especially and particularly not minor to people whose lives are focused on racial identity. Those are the circles in which Krug moved, the coin of that realm. She cheated and claimed a status she didn’t deserve.

“Hari Ziyad, a black author and screenwriter, posted a series of tweets calling Jessica Krug “a friend up until this morning” when Krug apparently called Ziyad to confess the falsehoods she detailed in a Medium post titled “The Truth, and the Anti-Black Violence of My Lies.”

“She didn’t do it out of benevolence,” Ziyad wrote. “She did it because she had been found out.”

This is really sad. Obviously, Hari Ziyad’s friendship is not worth very much. Whether Jessica is Jewish or mixed race shouldn’t make any difference in a genuine friendship.

That said, I suspect that before she was exposed, Jessica probably participated in destroying other people with gusto. That is why she is defenseless now. Although her crime in passing as a woman of color is minor, she has no higher morality to appeal to in her defense.

Perhaps Jessica can run for the US Senate and join Elizabeth Warren as a “minority”. On the left, political power atones for everything. Jessica’s problem right now is that she is not useful to the left anymore. All she needs is political power and all will be forgiven.
