Yes, I think you have only used the term "trophy wives" about the wives of Republicans (and that RINO Trump) here at the WC. However, I'm sure you can do a search for rich Democrats and find one with a beautiful wife and claim that she's a "trophy wife." Google "trophy wife sexist" and you'll find a whole lot of articles saying it is quite sexist. Many of them, like this one, written by women*. Imagine that.
if Louise Linton isn't a trophy wife, there's no such thing as a trophy wife. Here's a photo with two trophy wives:
While what you are saying has a merit, the reason why the Republicans are fanned harsher when they get caught is that they are the ones preaching morality and pretending to be the party of holier-than-thou. They are the ones who claim to be on God's side.Yes, I think you have only used the term "trophy wives" about the wives of Republicans (and that RINO Trump) here at the WC.

I think calling someone a trophy wife is extremely sexist. You cannot read the minds of these women. They may be deeply in love with their husbands for all you or I know. You cannot read the minds of our wives or girlfriends either. My wife is performing in a local and well regarded ballet school’s production of “The Nutcracker” today and tomorrow. She’s quite lovely and I’m not all that good looking these days (or ever), and not even in good physical shape like I used to be because I’ve gained about 35 pounds since retiring from the Navy. I plan to start working on the weight thing, maybe tomorrow
Just saying, as they say, but you do whatever the hell you want to do.
i actually haven't used the term here, as far as I know, but I do use it. It takes a long time, oh maybe a week, to look back at Harvey Weinstein s wife and assume that she is a trophy wife. There are hundreds and it certainly isn't limited to either side of the aisle. You are so quick to paint others with the partisan brush, and yet this time it is most definitely on you. I imagine Jerry Hall is deeply in love with Rupert Murdoch, right? I'm sure the 20 year old male that Joan Collins was with for several years when she was in her 70's was in love with her, and I'm fairly certain . I know for a fact that Anna Nichole Smith was most definitely in love with her 80 year old geezer. Has nothing to do with right, left or feminism.Yes, I think you have only used the term "trophy wives" about the wives of Republicans (and that RINO Trump) here at the WC.

I don't believe it's at all controversial to say that politics often trump the feminism of feminists. It happened during the 90s with Bill Clinton's issues with women. Now that he's safely in the rearview mirror for politics, you're seeing articles being written on that failure of feminism.
*I'd forgotten the controversy over Target's sexist "Trophy" t-shirt.
Once again, thanks for the mansplaining, hon! So appreciate it. You guys are clueless on this one. Laughable, truly.
Hate to break it to you, but the right's boogie man George Soros just took on what is quite likely a trophy wife. And I don't want to disillusion you, but I'm not sure all those Playboy bunnies were truly in love with Hef. I don't know his politics. I guess the fact that I understand the real world somehow prevents me from being a feminist ?
Of course you're out because you have zero clue what you are talking about. Absolutely nothing to do with politics or gender. You're being stubborn and ignorant on this one and spewing complete nonsense.
I notice you didn't respond at all to what I was saying, just repeated your nonsense. That's how you know you've lost the battle. And this one was indeed, silly.
.Zeke, you're not fitting into the box that's been constructed for you, and that's what's causing all the consternation. You just don't know your place.
You didn’t bother reading what other women said about the sexist term “trophy wife.” You’re all partisan all the time.
I normally like your work, too, Aloha, but you're being kind of an arrogant hack on this one. Zeke's a hypocrite because she's a Democrat. That's pretty much your claim, and you don't back it with anything but repetition. I know you can do better.
And I’m watching football after just finishing watching “The Nutcracker,” my yearly duty to keep my wife happy,
I deleted it because I got your joke when I reread your post. Unlike a certain poster who inexplicably believes he’s humorous and witty, you can be humorous and witty.
Laken Howard isn't arguing that the term trophy wife has no meaning but rather that it's a sexist term that should be removed from the lexicon, perhaps like stewardess and waitress. So, according to her, you're correct, right, left or feminist doesn't matter, it's always sexist.
Ha. I totally admit I have biases in many, many areas. It probably made me give Clinton the benefit of the doubt. But the trophy wife thing is just silly.
And so is boy toy. But honestly I think it's one of those silly things people like to be offended by. My friend bought a trophy wife tshirt just this week cause her husband calls her that. She's 2 years younger and he does have a lot of money. He didn't when they met. Maybe gold digger is a better term? It's gender neutral.
Honestly, you don't even know what argument you're trying to make here. Is it that I'm sexist or partisan? You don't seem to comprehend the difference. Just keep shouting partisan into the wind. I read it... maybe it is sexist. As is boy toy.
Nope. You’re partisan and the term is sexist. I’m not even slightly offended either.
Of course Zeke is partisan. So are you. We all are. She admitted it. Even offered an example of when she probably let it cloud her judgment. But that doesn't justify this "You're a bad feminist because you're a liberal" diatribe you're going on. You sound like one of your more hacky GOP pals in this thread, not the normal reasonable conservative you usually are.
