and whether woman have the right to express their sexuality in any way they choose without being shamed (of course they do) are, imho, kind of missing the point. To me it’s about the blatant hypocrisy of both the “religious right” and the main stream and especially RW media, to whit;

Melania’s career as a soft core porn model is well documented, as is her association with Jeffrey Epstein. This photo may be fake, but there are many other equally graphic images that could have been used, to make the point, which is:

We have NEVER seen a First Lady with this kind of background, and the media and the religious right basically glossed it over. You know, that same media that threw a fit over Michelle Obama’s bare shoulder sleeveless dress? It’s the hypocrisy that gets me. I think there was even a religious “leader” (aka charlatan) who was waxing poetic over her “tasteful artistic nudes”. And this goes for all the MAGA fundamentalist types: many don’t even believe these nude photo’s exist; they don’t want to know.

That being said, this persons choice to use a fake image, while still making the point about her well documented background, was probably not the right one.
