Bill's indiscretions are not Hillary's fault. Smarmy GOP are trying to smear her w/ them out of desperation. It's bullshit.

My response:
How do you know that? And, Yes they should. MANY men don't respect women - or even consider them human.
Case in point: you.
Amazing to me that these pigs want to blame Hillary for what Bill did. IF he doesn't respect her, that is not necessarily because OF her. Many men have problems respecting women. It's not a matter of whether women "deserve" respect. It's a matter of whether men are capable of respecting anyone without a penis and many of them are not. It's THEIR problem. Not any woman's and damn sure not Hillary's.
I expect the argument that goes something like: "oh well she stayed with him after Monica, blah blah...so she doesn't respect herself!" But that's not necessarily true either. Many marriages survive infidelity if the couple can work it out and it's their business and NO ONE ELSE knows or has any business sticking their nose in the personal details of their marriage relationship or making asinine assumptions about it.
So just DON'T.
Yep. I'm a Bernie supporter but you can DAMN WELL be sure that I will vote for Hillary if he doesn't get the nomination. I admire her greatly and as a woman, I WILL DEFEND her against attacks like this because I've seen how these so-called "men" (and those who defend them) behave.
Whatever else I disagree w/ Hillary about or whatever other concerns I have about her, this is one area where I have NO doubts because I have a really good idea of the kind of misogynist bullshit she has had to put up with.
