Anthony Weiner’s former girlfriend, Kirsten Powers, defended him on TV to millions of people after he insisted to her that he didn’t send lewd photos on Twitter. Now she takes him to task for his rampant misogyny—and says he must resign immediately.
Anthony Weiner lied to the country about his sexual misconduct online. He also lied to me.
I had been defending him, based on what he told me, but no more. Weiner must resign from Congress immediately.
This has not been my position previously during the scandal, but as I have recovered from the shock of seeing an old friend’s life unravel and have had time to get my mind around the extensive and sociopathic lying in which he engaged, there seems to be no other choice than for him to step aside and stop hurting his family, friends, and the Democratic Party. As more information trickles out about his online behavior with women, it has also become clear that he does not have the character to be in a position of leadership because of his misogynist view of women and predatory behavior.

An interesting piece by one of my favorite democrats. I like her. She’s wrong on every issue but I like her.
In this case she’s been personally betrayed by this sick man, as well so she’s got to be furious.
In case somone hasn’t read the whole piece- she dated him over a decade ago- for 3 months.
Probably a turkey baster.
It’s obvious Kristen can’t judge character. She adulates Mr. Obama and can’t seem to see his fatal flaws either.
I agree, but when I see a lib, all I see is red. ;>)
Do you post only to start trouble? Excuse my stupidity.
Excuse my stupidity.
You're excused.
The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal, Kirsten. Arrogant/ignorant Anthony is a glimpse inside the criminal mind.
She’s be better looking (KP) if she didn’t color the roots of her hair dark!
Dumb as a rock and twice as dense.
Clinton was much classier
Now she takes him to task for his rampant misogyny
It still amazes me how so many on the left are willing to overlook the misogyny and other ills that they decry in the rest of the population. All day, tv personalities coming to his defense. Yuk. On CBS Mon or Tuesday as I buzzed through channels, one announcer said at least Weiner hadn't done as Schwarzenegger, fathered a child, carried on an affair, alluding that the Right is worse. Hello? - seems they forgot about John Edwards recent indictment.
Misogyny?
Are nude photos of his johnson misogyny?
Maybe I’m missing something but it seems like these women were into twitter sex with him....ugly as he is
I hate that catch weird misogyny..its used to describe any man today who doesn’t submit to validation requiring chicks
Weiner is a nut and unfaithful to his wife but I thought misogyny...a loaded word like racism today meant woman hater
Sounds to me like he adores women at least sexually
...i promise to let her drive from now on and I’ll sit in the back with the rescue mutt
Misogyny? Yes and no. I'm expounding on the article's author's idea of misogyny. It's not just a guy tweeting pics of his junk to various ladies that gives that impression, it's that he's a newlywed sending them from his workplace as a public figure.

Well, I think that's possible.

I agree more men are unfairly labelled misogynists but he would treat them as more than twitter sex toys if he thought better of them (and maybe he was caught before he could act on that) - or his wife.
It's today used to just kill any logic and rationale to a discussion much the way bigot, racist, homophobe, Islamaphobe and even on occasion anti-Semite are used. Someone like the albeit very lovely ( I have a thing for brown eyes and blonde hair...I married one)Kirsten Powers uses to just label men with whom she has profound differences over how they view women even though with Weiner his actions doom him all by themselves.
I guess I'm just trying to say the word is more often than not used as a pejorative to label older alpha males like me by women who aren't really happy anyhow and often desire a strong man to be a strong partner they can lean on but they have been brainwashed to not admit that publicly.
There are still holdouts from that femme mindset down here but even back in the 80s I would see women in New York fall in that trap and then wake up at 40 childless with their big career feeling very empty...it was tragic actually...our culture would have benefited from those accomplished women breeding and parenting.
My aforementioned Skidmore gal told me a year after she left my never home butt for a sensitive Jewish guitar player and that had fizzled that at least with me she never had to wonder who was the man in the deal...it's a latent thing I'm convinced with feminists...the attractive one anyhow. I had sadly moved on to a Brasilian love affair and had to say goodbye again but moved me. She never married even though very handsome and is now a Dean at one of the largest schools in the country that uses the color Orange and likes cows...hint.
You know I don;t totally blame young women though over this conflict...so many young men are so weak today and girly like...good God, even in Nashville.
Or they are thuggy and shiftless and can't speak right...
it's just awful looking at it from afar now at 53
What about the women who hate men, and the men who love them?
Beta males all around us...
I’ve watched the castration since I was a very young adult. I didn’t buy into it then, to my social detriment, and I don’t buy into it now.
The radical Feminist Movement has totally screwed things up.

"He told me he had 10...but when the pics came out my carpenter friend said that can't be more than 6...."
This article is just therapy for her. Weiner used her like a Kleenex and now she’s got the status of a porn star, card dealer, co-ed, and cuckholded wife. Just like Clintons and Obamas, these self-absorbed baby boomers leave a trail of destruction wherever they go and expect others to clean up the mess. I wonder how bad they’ll leave this country when all is said and done.
