The comments in this thread alone, Sir, are enough to have me reaching for my fan Hekate Jun 2013 #80

I like how you put it in such a way that gives zero agency to the woman. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #5

Sorry - I don't give a flying fuck about Wendy Deng malaise Jun 2013 #8

It's not a matter of not liking her. It's framing her as only existing as a man's property. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #10

Start your thread on the subject n/t malaise Jun 2013 #11

I'm kindly requesting that you modify the thread title so that it isn't sexist. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #12

This is a second request that you remove the sexist content from the thread title. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #44

Remove sexist content from a thread title about an adulteress affair? RC Jun 2013 #154

I think it's more due to the fact that nobody has the faintest clue who Wendy Deng is Hippo_Tron Jun 2013 #139

"Murdoch's wife" is how people know who she is -- she isn't famous pacalo Jun 2013 #68

You are only furthering my point. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #85

Whatever...the fact that she's Murdoch's wife needed to be pointed out. pacalo Jun 2013 #89

Well, of course. That is the only way to further the slut rhetoric. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #92

And what would you call a married woman that has an affair? hobbit709 Jun 2013 #93

I wouldn't call her anything. She would be unfaithful for what she did. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #101

Start your own OP to find others who are interested pacalo Jun 2013 #106

Sigh. It is so fitting to be accused of neurosis. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #111

It is what it is. It's also threadjacking. pacalo Jun 2013 #116

Criticizing the contents of an OP is not thread jacking. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #120

The fact that you are belaboring the issue is proof enough. pacalo Jun 2013 #121

Feel free to ignore me. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #124

They just don''t get it! Frosty1 Jun 2013 #136

I agree -- that is exactly what makes this such a huge story Samantha Jun 2013 #127

How is that furthering your point Hippo_Tron Jun 2013 #140

if we say 'margaret thatcher's husband' was doing such & such, does that frame him as existing HiPointDem Jun 2013 #134

Very well said malaise Jun 2013 #137

Language and practice inform one another. It is not a one way road. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #150

That's her business model. n/t lumberjack_jeff Jun 2013 #142

Excellent Cha Jun 2013 #60

She's just a recepticle to "bang", apparently. Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #25

pamela digby churchill harriman was already part of the elite. wendy deng wasn't. no comparison. HiPointDem Jun 2013 #135

Who cares where they started? RudynJack Jun 2013 #152

harriman was already at 'the top'. she married rich men because she belonged to the same class. HiPointDem Jun 2013 #155
