Michelle Wie West on Rudy Giuliani: 'I shudder thinking that he was smiling to my face ... while objectifying me'
By Beth Ann Nichols | February 19, 2021 11:54 pm
Michelle Wie West took to Twitter on Friday night to express outrage over a story former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani told on Steve Bannons War Room podcast Thursday.
Do you have time for a funny story? Giuliani began.
He then proceeded to recount a round with the late Rush Limbaugh at a charity fundraiser seven years ago in which the paparazzi was driving us crazy. Giuliani went on to suggest that the photographers were actually in pursuit because of the putting stance of their playing partner Michelle Wie, who bends all the way over and her panties show.
What this person should have remembered from that day, Wie wrote, was the fact that I shot 64 and beat every male golfer in the field leading our team to victory. I shudder thinking that he was smiling to my face and complimenting me on my game while objectifying me and referencing my panties behind my back all day.

(4,243 posts)What a piece of shit Giuliani is. No respect at all for women. Especially women whom he fears, so he denigrates them.

(51,308 posts)And yes, sadly, men of all types, political parties, races, etc. do this kind of thing. Surely youre aware of this?
Yes, hes a piece of shit. But so is Weinstein, and he was a huge Dem contributor. Hes been convicted and is paying the price.
All kinds of men engage in this kind of crap, and thank god those who have consciences apologize (for the most part}. But ignoring that men on our side have been guilty of this behavior is helping no one.
Speaking as a woman, I can tell you that sexual harassment seems to be a non-political type of thing. Thank god, its gotten better, but come on now...

(38,454 posts)Republican men like Pigboy Limbaugh and Giuliani are NOT the same as Democrats.
Besides if you read the article you would know that Giuliani was LYING about seeing her underwear as explained by Michelle Wie.

I have known many men in my life who would have done exactly the same thing. Sadly, objectifying women is some mens favorite pastime.
Note that I dont say all men. I have known many stellar men, too.
Its just that the arrogant sexists make a womans life more unpleasant.
I will never be able to understand misogynistic, entitled, arrogant men. I think what bothers me most is how widely accepted is that type of behavior. I wonder at times if we humans will ever be able to move beyond such sexism.

Serving in the USAF back in the mid-70s, I got a hella wake-up call about what it was to be a woman in the military.
Heck, just watch old Mary Tyler Moore shows, and even in the civilized world (which the military was not) women had to constantly fight this crap off.

(6,640 posts)has told me about being raped or molested by their relatives. I just can't be close friends with any woman these days. It rips me up. Can't take it any more. One woman chased me down because of one of my bumper stickers and wanted to be friendly and visited me etc. And next thing I know, she is telling me about being raped by a relative.
I wanted to go into the military when I was a teenager, you should have seen the look on my dad's face when I said it. He was a 20 year man.
