No woman should be so disrespected. And, as for the women Weiner tweeted and sent his lewd pics to...he disrespected them, also. He certainly did not contact them to exchange comments about politics, or anything of any intellectual significance. He tried to entice them into responding in a sexual manner with his references to his "package," and hoping their responses would satisfy his base needs. Thus, he used them as merely sex objects to satisfy his perverted and excessive desires. That is the real crux of the issue. Weiner's use of women in such a manner is a slap at all of womenkind who have fought, for the past 40 years, to have men treat women in a way that elevates them to be considered for their minds, not their bodies.
If Huma is smart, she will get out before he hurts her again. And, as a narcissist, whose whole life has been based on gaining adoration, Weiner...even with therapy...will always be a man who cannot be trusted from trying to find some form of sexual stimulation outside the marriage. Psychologists and therapists are united on this...there is no cure for a narcissist who is dependent on being a sexual preditor in some manner.
Your post is the conversation the media should be having.
Weiner, and his apologists, disrespect women. First, they excuse his bad behavior and then, some even shift blame to the women.
All true.
The marriage is indeed a fraud, and its purpose is to cover for Huma's long-term affair with a married woman. I would not feel sorry for Huma, she is just as messed up as Weiner.
