Double Standards

Today I broke a taboo. I actually talked about politics at a work function. One of my more outspoken co workers was discussing Hillary, and how she really does not like her. This woman is very liberal and wordly. Her reasoning was in part based on the fact that Hillary decided to stay with Bill after all of his woman "issues."

Quite honestly, I truly do not care who Bill slept with, sleeps with or wants to sleep with. If he and Hillary decided to stay together, for whatever reason (politics, love, their child) its not any one's business except theirs. My colleague wanted Hillary to take some uber strong feminist stand and dump Bill. I actually think forgivness is more important than being right. In addition, I really dont care about any one's personal life other than mine, and perhaps the personal life of my friends.

What made the conversation more interesting to me, was we started discussion the French President and his divorce (after years of having an open marriage). She found it perfectly fine that they had an open marriage, but not for Hillary. I think Hillary, like Bill is going to have women problems.
