So if he isn't drinking he might be fine with them. Or he was one of those asshole frat boys who only abused women he didn't know. I suppose we'll find out more over time.

what are they being told right now about all of this. This news will be everywhere by the time they go to school tomorrow. I hope they keep them at home on Monday for their benefit. But you know how brutal kids can be.

so I suspect he treats his wife and kids as chattel, because why would he be MORE restrained in private than he is in public?

I absolutely believe that he has treated at least one other woman very badly, and there is reason to believe that he has treated many women very badly.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if he was completely respectful towards “his” women and women with an equal or superior social status.

So I don’t think it’s helpful to accuse him, baselessly, of abusing or disrespecting the women in his family. Let’s stick to what we know he is credibly accused of doing... there’s no need to speculate. It makes us look non-fact-based.

kinds of women. There are the women they do these things to and the women they install in cul de sacs and impregnate frequently. The latter is to be treated well. In their minds, wives and daughters occupy the same rooms as their mothers. Only others are fair game.

Though for all I know, those I know are simply better at hiding what they do to their wives and daughters.
