Classy. But even less surprising that he would leave Yolanda given the precedent.

However we feel about ethical boundaries Bill Clinton crossed by fucking Monica Lewinsky, the point still stands that none of that is Hillary’s fault and the media attention Lewinsky gets every time Hillary campaigns isn’t Hillary’s fault nor is it her responsibility, which is what Merlan is insinuating by even…

Really? Merlan is the one putting a quote from Monica Lewinsky about how the attention during the Hillary campaign practically forced her underground, right under a paragraph about the women who accused Bill Clinton of rape. But I’m conflating the two? Please. I’m not the one making tabloidy Daily Mail type…

Charlotte Rampling is a goddess. That is all.

I read it. And I don’t judge Lewisnky in the slightest nor is she blaming Hillary Clinton or insinuating that she was a rape victim. But by placing that Lewinsky quote directly under the paragraph about Hillary being questioned about her husband’s rape accusations, what do you think Merlan is trying to not-so-subtly…

What love affair? She’s rich, white, successful and she’s not a radical left-wing intersectional feminist, of course they hate her. They’re Bernie Sanders lovers even though the dude doesn’t stand a chance.

This. How are these women, or Monica Lewinksy, Hillary’s responsibility? Where are the hecklers shouting these questions at Bill Clinton during one of his many very well paid speaking appearances?

I don’t really know any rich and famous men but I do know some rich ones and some of them are wonderful husbands so I agree. I don’t think it necessarily has to do with fame and money though of course people who seek both are more likely to be narcissists and to think their money and status entitles them to a hot…

Oh, I agree. I’m just saying that given the dynamics of their relationship, and the fact that she had no problem with it, means she shouldn’t be surprised that he’s not the type to stick around and be a good husband to a sick wife.

I know one woman who was sexually abused her entire childhood by her father. Her mother and sisters know of the abuse, and continue to be close to him. She left home, had two kids, then came back and moved herself and her two kids in with her parents, even though she didn’t even need to financially. People with trauma…

How does this piece of shit keep finding women to date him? It’s not like there’s a single woman out there who doesn’t know about his past. Not just the Trayvon Martin murder but also about his arrests for beating up women.

What did she expect? That he would dote on her just like she doted on him? A guy with 3 failed marriages who obviously thinks wives are disposable and expects to be catered to like he’s royalty? She also said some fucked up shit about how the husband is the head of the household and as wife it’s her role to take care…

They like to keep their 100% heterosexual macho bromancing out of the spotlight.

From what I just read above, it sounds like they were both clearly violent toward each other. And that there were incidents where she was the one that got physical first. I agree he should be charged for domestic violence but honestly so should she. They both sound like they have major issues.

Who decides, AFTER the big reveal, to have lots of unprotected sex and make a baby?

Agree. But I think where we might disagree is with the level of infrequency. The image of women as perpetual victims of criminal or terrorist organisations is that of women as passive, wives or relatives, always abused, always victimised. But the truth has never been that simple, and it certainly isn’t now. If this is…

99.99999% sounds like you’re assuming that all women are victims.

Sorry, but I refuse to be one of those feminists who automatically assumes women are victims incapable of making their own decisions. Or that women aren’t capable of being terrorists. This infantalization of women is patronizing and counter-productive.

DV and abuse to convince her to join him?

Efforts to regulate ammunition transfers internationally are routinely blocked by the US and other countries, and it doesn’t matter whether the US is under Republican or Democratic administrations. This is for international transfers. But I’m pretty sure there is even more reticence to regulate ammunition internally…
