The Jerusalem Post’s Shmuley Boteach on Donald Trump’s boorish behavior and misogyny:
(T)he ancient code of male honor dictated that a gentleman was judged first and foremost by his treatment of women. Trump’s nauseating attacks on O’Donnell’s body mass betray a man who denies women an independent identity and creates them solely in a man’s image.
Who determines how women should look? Trump and his testosterone-filled friends. O’Donnell, who lacks an hourglass figure, fails to entertain and is therefore a primate. He had every right to criticize her words, but not her weight; her opinion, but not her shape.
