Nobody understands that women can feel relieved sometimes when their husband is fucking someone else. It’s hard to satisfy men with big egos. But there’s no way that Hillary could come out and say, “I don’t care that Bill us fucking someone else. Sex is not the way we prove our commitment.”
In terms of their relationship, they are the most progressive couple we’ve ever had in the White House. People want to make them pay for that. It would be the most positive thing for our culture if we respected the love between Hillary and her man. We need a love ethic at the seat of power. And these two people do seem to deeply care about one another. So in that way they are better role models than any previous couple in the White House. Their relationship is based on respect and love. Not necessarily on sex. People hate that.
