Stop Asking Hillary to Atone for Her Husband's Wayward Penis [View all]

One of the most disgusting, misogynistic things in our society is asking an accomplished woman like Hillary Clinton to atone for her husband’s wayward penis. In a recent CBS interview, Hillary was asked about the affair that her husband had with Monica Lewinsky two decades ago. Her response was, “Monica was an adult.” Conservatives, who are forever on their moral, hypocritical high horse, used it as another way to attack the Clintons, who they view as the face of the Democratic Party (like Barack and Michelle Obama, the Castro brothers, Cory Booker, and Kamala Harris don’t exist). Liberals who are forever trying to take the moral high ground, like that ever gets anyone, anywhere, when dealing with Rethuglicans, were appalled and said things to the tune of “Hillary doesn’t represent feminists well”, “she shouldn’t have answered the question”, “she was attacking Monica”, yada, yada, eye roll, etc.

My response to all of you, is a collective: FUCK YOU! Hillary doesn’t owe any of you anything! She is a highly accomplished woman: credential lawyer for over 40 years, a Flotus who pushed through major legislation, a Secretary of State, and a Democratic Presidential nominee, so why minimize her accomplishments, and her worth, by asking her about her husband’s affair? Some of you are still mad, because she didn’t throw away her 40 year plus marriage because her husband got his dick sucked, something most men get done at the local strip clubs, adult bookstores, and even in their marital beds every day. Some of you are mad, because you tried to turn the Lewinsky/Bill Clinton affair as a MeToo moment (this idea is fueled by white women who stepped their happy asses in the booth to vote for the ultimate, orange misogynist Donald Trump), and then there are the ones who insist on being nice when the other side has proven to be deplorables!

The reality is Bill and Monica are totally in the wrong. Bill disrespected his marriage vows, and Monica was the 24 year old hussy who thought she was going to seduce the most powerful man in the country and turn it into a cash cow. (She gossiped about it to Linda Tripp, and saved the semen stained dress: she had an agenda, and it was not being the angel/victim that Conservative and Liberal media made her out to be).So if you have questions, concerns, or commentary to add about the affair, direct it to the two people who had it, and leave Hillary alone. It’s been 20 years, and I would bet my life that Bill had dipped his penis into countless other snatches around the country. Monica needs to get a real job, and to move on with the business of life, because there is nothing more sad than a 40 something year old, trying to relive the famed affair of her 20’s

One more paragraph at site.

Interesting article. I am over conservatives & republicans using ~that~ against HRC. Why aren't conservatives and republicans asking that of Melania Trump?

Yeah, this is a 'what about ism'. Maybe

I think HRC should just do the "no comment" response to the affair or how it was handled aikoaiko Oct 2018 #23
the question should not be asked of her in the first place. JHan Oct 2018 #25
