Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

She was also a believer of eugenics (which is fucked), at least for a time
Unfortunately, a lot of people who should've known better were back then.
That was pretty common at the turn of the 20th century in America.
Damn what were her takes on eugenics?

Later in life, I believe she recanted this belief, but that may have just been due to criticism.
