(…) if allegations made about Schwarzenegger in a 2001 piece in Premiere are true, his over-the-top and up-the-skirt attitudes about women translate to actions as well.

San Francisco-based journalist Connie Matthiessen got a hot blast of Schwarzenegger raunch when she happened across the actor in the mid-1980s. In an interview Friday with Salon, she recalled that she didn’t know who Schwarzenegger was and had never seen him before. When a friend pointed him out to her in a Santa Monica, Calif., cafe, Matthiessen couldn’t help but stare at his massive, muscle-bound physique. Schwarzenegger shot a look back her, and snarled: “The dildo convention is next door.”

“He said it in such a mean way,” Matthiessen says. “I was across the room, and it was such a brutal conversation. It felt like he had just slapped me, it was so contemptuous and dismissive and nasty.” [Salon]

Boo fucking hoo. Beeld u in dat de omgekeerde situatie was, en dat een man binnenkwam met een vriend, en dat hij wijzend en met open mond een vrouw aan de andere kant van de kamer aanstaart. En dat die vrouw daar nijdig commentaar op geeft.

Zou die vent dan ook mogen klagen?  Neen dus. Die dubbele standaard, da’s om ambetant van te worden.

Niet alleen met vrouwen trouwens, maar ook met dingen als dit hier. De eerste die een “Miss White USA” wilt organiseren wordt door de NAACP aan de schandpaal genageld. Gr.

Trouwens, nog Schwarzenegger in Salon:

During the filming of 1996’s “Eraser,” Connolly alleged, a guest on the set happened upon Schwarzenegger performing oral sex on a woman in his trailer. As Salon reported last month, Schwarzenegger allegedly looked up from his work and uttered a line that has now become an inadvertent trademark of the Schwarzenegger campaign. “Eating,” he reportedly said, “is not cheating.”

Een man naar mijn hart.
