In reply to the discussion: Allen West to Wife: Be my Porn Star! [View all]nobodyspecial
(2,286 posts)31. Who are *you* married to?
He tells her: From now on, you will wear two-piece swim suits when on vacations. Then: Angela, I need to know, are you committed to being my porn star? I do not want to hear no or well see about that.
So, it's perfectly acceptable for a man to control what a woman wears and how she dresses? And, she is not allowed to *ever* say no to sex or just not be unequivocal about rushing to bed with him?
I agree that this note should never have been released, but it sure says a whole lot about his views about women and their place in the world.

He's no Bill O'Reilly that's for sure. He could have at least told her he'd dip her in hummus. nt
