Sexist ageism comes with a gender bias

MAYBE don’t read this if you’re eating. It involves sex with Donald Trump. Consider yourself warned, writes Suzanne Harrington

Sexist ageism comes with a gender bias

Now the last thing I would ever wish to think about, or have you think about, or indeed anyone at all think about, is sex with Donald Trump. But for the purposes of this column, we must take a deep breath and go there. Steady yourself, squeeze your eyes shut, and just picture Trump and Melania. Doing it.

Why are we thinking about this? Because we are being asked to think about sex between the French presidential candidate and their spouse. No, not the fascist. The other one — Monsieur and Madame Macron. Naturally, the British Daily Mail has already waded into the marriage of Bibi and Mani, making all kinds of insinuations. He’s a mummy’s boy, wrote some fun-sponging old harpy. Or he’s gay. Or both. How could anyone want to be with a woman 24 years his senior unless she was his beard? Yes, say the Russian media, who prefer the fascist. Definitely gay.
