In reply to the discussion: Bette Midler calls Melania Trump 'FLOTITS' and Twitter won't stand for it: [View all]Hermit-The-Prog
(36,631 posts)As the tv judges say, she opened that door.
Her photos and appearance are inconsequential except as she and Trump supporters exhibit hypocrisy about them. Even before Crybaby Donnie, right wingers did not hesitate to body shame and slut shame others. Trump capitalized on that and pushed it to new extremes for public figures. Now they want everyone to forget their misogyny and cruelty, and treat Melania as if she is their hypocritically professed chaste, submissive epitome of womanhood.
IMO, our whole culture is hypocritical. Men walk around beaches and ball games without a shirt and the worst thing that happens is they get jeered for physique or the team colors painted on them. Let a woman try that, regardless of geometry, and she would be arrested. It's nuts. It's so nuts now that they blur the breasts in paintings and statues in old movies on tv.
They're breasts. Women have them and men are fascinated by them. That's the way it is.
