Robertson absolves Petraeus: Broadwell was ‘throwing herself at him… he’s a man’

Televangelist Pat Robertson on Monday suggested that former CIA Director David Petraeus, who recently resigned over an affair with his biographer, was the victim in the scandal because there was “a good-looking lady throwing herself at him” and “he’s a man.”

You'd think that chest of medals would be able to fend off attacks by she-devils.

Maybe generals should be required to wear chastity belts. You could put one on Robertson's mouth, while you're at it.

Those poor men just don't have a chance once they start thinking with the little head, but women are supposedly the ones who are too hormonal to make good decisions. Go figure.

While women must be obedient, chaste, and faithful, the men don't have to be because that's what God intended (despite that little thing called the Ten Commandments).

Conservative men are like little boys with a severe Madonna-Whore complex. Women in the world can be divided into wives/mothers, and prostitutes/sex-dolls.

The "good women" stay at home, taking care of the (racially pure) babies. Meanwhile, the "good men" get to consort with the "bad women" because you can't reconcile pro-life policies with male horniness.

That's the excuse conservative man make when they're caught running around on their wives: the "I'm a man; I can't help it" excuse. All while they degrade and blame the woman or women they have sex with for being sluts and putting out too easily.

This is the other trope they hide behind: Sex is Evil and I am Horny.
