Agree totally. Women like Sally Quinn and Maureen Dowd can't help but show their shallow sides more often than not. I think they think that's what their readers want, and maybe they're right, but in this case they came off as mean, and pretty clueless about marriage and long-tem dynamics.

And it really is none of our business, no matter how often these women come forward to stand by their men.

Hahaha. Oh the irony, "she's hopeless and a pain in the ass". Hahahahaha. Because I called your cousin fat and unemployable, oh wait....... You are hilarious.

I think most of us chuckle when you accuse others of being shit-stirrers. Sometimes the shit you stir is interesting, sometimes it just stinks (as in this case), but you're almost always stirring. I could go into details about why your shit stinks, but I strongly suspect you don't care. You like to get others to inspect their own arguments, but you rarely seem to take the time to do so yourself.

Chill out, dude.

In reply to So, let me get this straight.

Michael, just go fuck yourself.

Yes, women deal with a lot of asshole behavior, and in case you haven't noticed, they don't control the levers of power. And yes, shock! if they're not cute it gets worse. Quite frankly, I don't look at Huma as very much of a power person - she's an enabler, behind the scenes do-er. And maybe like a lot of women, not that confident. But she's made a good career. And got married to what seemed like a "good catch". And found herself giving birth and embarrassed nationally at the same time. I sympathize.

Really, sometimes you seem okay, and sometimes you seem incredibly clueless. Well, it's your blog so you can kick me off, but you could try to grow a brain rather than pull all this moronic juvenile shock-and-awe - it's pathetic to witness over and over.

What I tried to explain to you if you could listen is that grownups who've been "dating"- meaning "fucking" - into their 30's and then get married typically realize they're carnal creatures and that sexuality may not just stop at the "I do's".

And women, who are on the short end of the stick, have fewer options in the "who's fucking around with who" area - they're discarded when they start to get older, they're discriminated in job promotion, they still do most of the work around the house... in fact despite all the hooplah, it's not that much better than 40 years ago.

As for TMac, she's hopeless, or she just stirs the shit because she enjoys being a pain-in-the-ass. Come to think of it, the 2 aren't exclusive, are they?

(PS - yes, the universe discriminates against females, fat people, ugly people, and a variety of others who are considered less than optimum- sorry I broke your rose-colored glasses - must be painful at your age)

In reply to Huma Abedin is not Anthony Weiner

I am so disgusted, by the hypocrisy of so many Americans. they want their politicians to be perfect; yet they themselves, have done some things they might be ashamed of, if others knew."Different strokes for different folks" So many are so eager to throw the first stone. Someone needs to tell Quinn or any other of the (judges of others) or gossipers, "GET OUT of peoples private lives" Peoples sexual preferences, unless against the law, are taboo to talk about. I hate the NSA and the TMZ atmosphere that believes, nothing should remain private. If Weiner (the nature boy) can do the job that's what matters I don't know what drew Huma to Anthony, but whatever it was, the spark may still be there, despite those who would try to destroy the marriage of for better or worse.

So, let me get this straight.

In reply to Sorry, should have clarified

So, let me get this straight. First you suggested that because Huma Abedin got married at the ancient age of 34, she was not shocked to discover that her husband was a serial dick-tweeter.

Then, to explain how this was a normal, sensible thing to write, you describe your fat unemployable family member who stayed in an unhappy marriage for 20 years.

Is this a joke? It's as if you're trying to pack as much offensive, irrelevant, idiotic, and just plain weird material into a single comment as humanly possible.

TMac runs away yet again. A bunch of insulting swallop tossed out in a driveby, and then off to your summer cottage. We'll always have Versailles, no?

I didn't say it was my "cousin" and yes, she's fat, or politely "obese", not just plump. I didn't say I know what makes all women decide to stay in marriages - I said I understand some of the reasons. I didn't say all women are alike - I implied most women make at minimum semi-smart thought-out major life decisions.

Have you seen any fat models? Fat TV announcers? You want to go into a long bullshit analysis about how I'm judging things because I made one simple observation?

Yes, single women with children have more trouble getting dates than single women without. Is that even controversial? Yes, fat women have more trouble getting dates than thin women - is that even controversial? Yes, put the 2 together, and they have more trouble getting dates. If they have more trouble getting dates, they have less chance getting re-married. Is that math too tough for you? (BTW, seen a fat Barbie with kids lately?)

Combine this with being out of the job pool for 15-20 years, there's that fear of either not getting a job or getting one that pays too little with not enough time to take care of the kids.

My family member was educated - she knows how to count, add up housing & food & clothing costs, look up the unemployment rate, observe societal & career preferences for being young & thin and experienced.

No, I didn't say it was impossible for her to walk out the door with 4 kids and survive. I said or implied it was much much harder. And it might be easier in 2013 than 30 or 40 years ago. Except for rising trend of guys throwing off their original spouses for trophy wives.

Why you come on to try to gin up some stupid nitpickish complaint to scold me with, I've no idea, but call it #FAIL. Really, you never cease to amaze.

In reply to Geez, go for broke. She's one

I'm not the one who called my cousin fat. You did that. And you claim to know what makes all women decide to stay in their marriages, good or bad, because your Carnac I guess. And you are so right, we are all alike aren't we. What do we know, once we get old which apparently is 34 - 37 years old, and fat and well when we have children, we make all the same decisions all the time for the same reasons, which apparently mean we can no longer get a man, because that is what women do.
