(48,992 posts)20. (Check your pocket) 21st century women are not allowed to look like Barbie Dolls?
[font size = "+1"]Check your pocket. It contains 74 year old high tech invented by a Barbie Doll who was 20 years ahead of engineers of her time.[/font] And she is not the only highly intelligent woman who has chosen to be very attractive and sexual.
Any woman who chooses to look like a Barbie Doll can't be intelligent and feminist?
You judge books by covers only?
Yeah, you're getting backlash because of your illogical attitudes that also seem to be unenlightened.
But, ... you want to control how she would choose to look and dress.
Perhaps your technical accomplishments exceed hers?
Your attitudes are those of men and their female collaborators who wish to control the sexuality of women. Women (and men) have every right to be sexually aware and active. But tRump has revealed himself to be a sociopathic predator who takes without permission.

At the beginning of World War II, [font size = "+1"]actress[/font] (actor, in today's terminology) Hedy Lamarr and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes, which used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers.[4] Though the US Navy did not adopt the technology until the 1960s, the principles of their work are now incorporated into modern GPS, Wi-Fi, CDMA and Bluetooth technology,[5][6][7] and this work led to their being inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.
But, ... you want to control how she would choose to look and dress.
Lamarr's earliest inventions include an improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in water to create a carbonated drink. The beverage was unsuccessful; Lamarr herself said it tasted like Alka-Seltzer.[16]
With the ongoing World War, Lamarr was inspired to contribute to the war effort, designing a jam-proof radio guidance system for torpedoes. With the help of composer George Antheil, they drafted designs for a new frequency-hopping, spread-spectrum technology that they later patented.[17]
Lamarr and Antheil realized that radio-controlled torpedoes, which could be important in the naval war, could easily be jammed, thereby causing the torpedo to go off course.[18] With the knowledge she had gained about torpedoes from her first husband, and using a method similar to the way piano rolls work, they designed a frequency-hopping system that would continually change the radio signals sent to the torpedo.[19]
Their invention was granted a patent on 11 August 1942 (filed using her married name Hedy Kiesler Markey).[20] Yet, it was technologically difficult to implement, and the U.S. Navy was not receptive to considering inventions coming from outside the military at the time.[16] Only in 1962, at the time of the Cuban missile crisis, did an updated version of their design appear on Navy ships.

In early 1933, at age 18, she starred in Gustav Machatý's film, Ecstasy (Ekstase in German, Extase in Czech), which was filmed in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Lamarrs role was that of a neglected young wife married to an indifferent older man. The film became notorious for showing Lamarr's face in the throes of orgasm

OP
He claims it was a 'private conversation.' In front of 7 other people including a camera crew?

Of course I must acknowledge the blatantly exploitative nature of the movie, since it's DU ...

"way she looked"? Melania was 3 months pregnant. Advanced enough for Donald J tRump to know.

I agree. There is a kind of war between the sexes that jerks like Limbaugh keep alive.
