Vanity Fair article (5.00 / 2) (#13)
by bjorn on Fri May 02, 2008 at 09:08:39 PM EST
by James Wolffe refers to older women that support Clinton as "part of the post-sexual set."  Older women who don't support Clinton are apparently still full of sexual vitality!  Made me laugh really hard while I was reading it on the plane.  According to Wolffe Obama is the embodiment of middle class sexuality and vitality, and hence he  attracts the young ones!  I am not clear on what this means McCain represents.

Heck what is wrong with post sexual.  Like I tell the young ones, we did it all when the consequences were not so great.

As Ronnie McDowell wrote so well . . . and as Wolffe apparently has yet to learn:

Older women are beautiful lovers --
I said older women, they understand
I've been around some, and I have discovered
That older women know just how to please a man.

Everybody seems to love those younger women
From eighteen on up to twenty-five
Well I love 'em, too, but I'm tellin you
Learnin' how to really love takes a little time.

So baby don't worry about growin' older --
Those young girls ain't got nothin on you,
'Cause it takes some livin' to get good at givin'
And givin' love is just where you could teach them a thing or two.

Older women are beautiful lovers --
I said older women, they understand
I've been around some, and I have discovered
That older women know just how to please a man.

That is, if a man works hard at deserving us. :-)

men are just like horses. Feed them on time, scratch them when they itch, and they will do anything for you. And no, I am not kidding.

When I watch BHO debate or give speeches, and I am not making fun of him, but I do not see sexuality. Sorry. Actually, I notice his ears. Now Stephen Colbert has the different ears and but I think SC is sexy. John Edwards, Al Gore as VP, JFK, Alexander Hamilton (Yeah, check out that $10 bill), but no Obama. I guess I have always seen him as a good speech giver, 2004. There are others but I am a little miffed that people are saying older white women. And this is 45 up ladies. They had better do right for this election or they will see what older white woman are capable of and it will not be pretty but it will make us feel better.

Misogyny in action (none / 0) (#118)
by Lora on Sat May 03, 2008 at 09:46:02 AM EST
It's partly around this consensus view of her not having sex that people support her or resist her. She's the special-interest candidate of older women--the post-sexual set. She's resisted by others (including older women who don't see themselves as part of the post-sexual set) who see her as either frigid or sexually shunned--they turn from her inhibitions and her pain.

This is ridiculous and insulting (He CAN'T be SERIOUS...??!!)

Wollfe is a misogynist.  I'd laugh along with Bjorn, but I'm feeling a tad nauseous...
