ARE WE ALL CHAMBERMAIDS?

the mono-directional pendulum


Down Boy!!
  • DSK and the maid
  • Arnie and the maid..and the illicit offspring
  • Clinton and the intern
  • JFK and the actress, etc
  • Mel Gibson and the porn star..and the video!Plus...Mel Gibson hitting his girlfriend
  • Charlie Sheen and several pornstars....on the video, abusive behaviour, etc
  • Tiger Woods and all those " gals"
  • President Mitterand and the odd illegitimite child
  • Julien Assange..did he do it?
  • Berlusconi's habits
A pattern?

The last few weeks have left the global public appalled and frankly, dismayed by their "public people." 
What is it about men with power? 
How is that some of the "chaps," global advisors, governors and the like, voted in by their public, turn into predators around women?

In France, women are beginning to become sick of the country's elite, influential and academic standing up for DSK - DSK le libertin. My legal background has taught me one thing to reply to these mysogynous commentaries*...yes, DSK is certainly innocent until proven guilty but that doesn't mean the maid is une menteuse (a lier) until that time. Shouldn't we be examining the "spines" of our public figures rather than casting doubt on the women who were brave enough to stand up.

If there was ever a time for women in France to band together, it is now. Something has to change..everyday sexism should not be tolerated. In France it is not only tolerated but accepted and embraced, in public, private and professional life, as part of our " southern culture"....rings a bell, wasn't that what they said about segregation in southern USA?

DSK victimised by the USA justice system? Come on, don't make me laugh...you make your bed, you lie in it!

So are we women all "chambermaids" in the eyes of powerful men? I would hope not to all,but there is still a perverted minority whose power is a matter of mattress rather than a matter of mind.

*Jack Lang, " it's not like someone died!"
*JF Kahn, journalist, the whole Sofitel affair was just " the lifting of a maid's skirt"
