- bluedevil2k 7y agoThat comment is incredibly demeaning to women
- elipsey 7y agoI actually can't tell who's being sarcastic here. I think that in general, if an executive has an afair with a model, that speaks to their personality or character, as choosing to date another engineer speaks to mine. If it appears mercenary, well, that seems like an expected quality in the CEO of Oracle. I aspire to conduct myself so that whenever I die I will be remembered as something more altruistic, or at least ethical than a corporate raider, or a politician who tried to sleep with his interns, etc.
- swagtricker 7y agoAre you sure? I read that as being incredibly demeaning to men.
- bluedevil2k 7y agoYes I’m sure. You’re implying that because the woman posed for Playboy she’s now “damaged goods” and less deserving of respect by society. A man dating one of these “low society women” should be looked down upon as well. If the roles were reversed, if Carly Fiorina started dating a backup dancer from Magic Mike XXL, should we judge her negatively for that?

- cardiffspaceman 7y ago> > Cause it's easy to get the estimate of a man by the woman they date/marry. > Cause it's easy to get the estimate of a person by the people they date/marry. I think the second one is true. Not as true as some things. But if it is true then the first is true, since the second is more universal. > Many people believe they can estimate a person by the people the person dates/marries. It's possible Hurd believed this. Whether he thought he was moving the needle in his favor by any of his actions is probably unknowable. I see why you read the comment the way you did, and I suggest there is a different reading.
