That is an obviously sexist and irrelevant attitude. Completely irrelevant, politically incorrect, and factually disingenuous. Does not matter who recorded it - a man, a woman, an amoeba, ET, or a robot. Only a misogynist would see her sex relevant.

Point was obvious. A second problem exists. We must define what is private and what is not. A problem made even worse by extremists who believe the Constitution does not provide a right to privacy. Or others who hype privacy but then insist public figures are fair game (ie paparazzi).

He may have long been a closet racist. That is a separate issue. Did anyone have the right to publish his private (and maybe exploratory) thoughts? At what point does one no longer have privacy to explore politically incorrect concepts?
