9. Discrimination? Are you calling him a homosexual? Seems to me
he prefers women just fine.

You're quite nutty.

12. There is no indication whatsoever that the advances were unwanted.
As a matter of fact the back and forth that was read on Bill Maher that were exactly as they happened, ie not changed for comedic approach, sounded like she was well and fully agreeable to his advances.

32. Irrelevant, she wasn't. NSFW:
Some unsuspecting woman might pick up a magazine or walk by an Armani shop and be flashed by disgusting sex-addicted pervert David Beckham.



And geez, he has such a beautiful wife too!

Some woman, somewhere, might be offended by this. Perhaps we need to hound him out of soccer (pardon me, football) and into treatment.

26. So one out of six women claims she didn't expect it. The rest
seem to have been willing. He's definitely blunt, feisty, and willing to push boundaries, but also made him an EXCELLENT Congressman for old-style dems and progressives.

"The women who have acknowledged encountering Weiner on social media and then having personal communications with him varied in age, race, and location, and even in their willingness to engage the congressman in sexual discourse. But in each case Weiner’s online conduct in many ways mirrored that of his offline life — he was aggressive, blunt, feisty, and willing to push boundaries with an apparent disregard for the possible consequences"

does not indicate misogyny or gender discrimination.

39. Since I'm waiting for the evening to cool in order to get back to work,
I'll answer you one more time.

I don't know the purpose, and neither do you. Unless you have a link to the entire conversation that took place including all images. It may be, for example, that she wrote something that he mistook as an opening, or a pic perhaps she sent him that seemed like an opening. All I've read is her claim. With five others being agreeable, I find her claim suspect without proof.

31. And that fits of the definition of discrimination how?

There are REAL issues to deal with regarding discrimination against women - and Anthony Wiener is not one of them.

If you are wanting to be a help to women then your efforts would be of greater value if directed toward REAL issues that affect women.

40. Let's save the word "discrimination" for actual crimes against females.
Fox-inization (carelessness, minimization, false use) of the word only cheapens its value to real victims.

47. Apparently, NONE. Only the rightwing nutjob who was stalking him caught a glimpse of it
& made sure EVERYONE saw it. And those who were offended by it must have never seen one covered by underwear &/or get dressed & undressed in a dark closet.

45. I can see that you are still obsessed with the Weiner Scandal
I can also see that you will not rest until he's been beaten up, killed or forced to watch Dr Phil or whatever your moral compass is during these strange times

I can also see that some people still hate their sexual organs, and will not rest until everyone stops having sex for fun

Jeez, give it a fucking break already! He quit! You won!

61. That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever read.
The guy was desperate to have women tell him he had a nice body.

That's the very opposite of discrimination, in my book. Why else would he court disaster by risking his whole career just for female admiration?
