    Who is Linda Lovelace? I am thinking a maybe porn star of some sort, but not quite certain. I know I have heard the name but not sure where......as for the Pope. I don't even know his Pope Name let alone his birth name. Not Catholic and no real interest in Pope things.

    Women who were taken advantage by men in power are sluts? You realize that slut shaming is just a form of misogamy, right?

    Also, if you said Pope Francis, non-Catholics would have known exactly who you were talking about. To be fair, you should have used Linda Boreman instead of her stage name, Linda Lovelace. I bet most people would not have known who she was.

    Amusing stuff to read coming from a Democrat or their supporter.

    Monica was called much worse by Democrats since to them, it was Bill Clinton the male who was her victim. I recall well the defenders of Clinton who called her terrible things and blamed her for the Clinton problem.

    As to porn stars, that was an old time star. And you appear to know your porn well.

    The person that authored that list may or may not have disliked women. But if that is the case, most of the list is men.

    Funny innit?

    Yes, Americans are so undereducated, they did not know the true name of the top guy at the Catholic Church. Amazing innit?

    You might have needed to be 60+ to recall her. She by this time is well near time to go to pasture and meet GOD.

    If you heard of the film "Deep Throat" you heard of her even if you can't recall names.

    I never saw that film but of course have seen porn. The stars of today are much more lovely.

    Frankly, it was not my questionnaire and I too did not know the name of the Pope in his earlier life. But the rest on the list are well known to me. I am 78 and sharp of mind.

    You might be surprised by this, but not all Democrats, or even liberals think alike. Just as there are Republicans that support Trump and Republicans that hate Trump, there are Democrats who love Clinton, and others who do not.

    As for knowing Linda Lovelace, I watched a very eye-opening movie called Lovelace, which is about her life and how she was forced into pornos. My issue was not with the list however, but with this comment:

    I will not put up with slut shaming. It is just another way to control women.

    As for not knowing the Pope's name, I actually knew the Pope's real name at one time, but had forgotten it over time because the Catholic Church means nothing to me. It and the Pope have no bearing or relevance in my life and while there are some things he says I may agree with, there is a MUCH I don't agree with.

    I think you probably are in the minority as to how Democrats operate with their votes.

    What do you think is wrong with Democrats thinking process? I say this as a then loyal Democrat that managed to pull myself out of the gutter of dirty politics and took in fresh air.

    Who knows. He totally ignored the much longer list of males.

    I don't believe that most of America sees porn as a great and healthy way to earn a living. Bear in mind too, it takes two. So it means men get slut shamed as well.

    Can you see this church going young woman introducing the male with her as a porn star?

    True and let me give you one more fact.

    I grew up from 1938 to 1956 when I graduated high school. I knew the word gay quite well. A person who was happy was known as gay. Today it is entirely something else. I was shocked when for the first time I learned a homosexual was a happy person.

    I have no clue at all who invented gay as being homosexual.

    And I notice my protagonist thinks I created the list. I read it and posted it. For our entertainment.

    To be fair, if you’d used Lovelace’s real name nobody would have recognised it and if you’d used the Pope's “stage name”, everybody would.

    Isn’t it more telling that you assume he was referring to the women on his list as “sluts” and none of the men? ;)

    Same thing that always happens to everyone in politics. They think the fight is about winning instead of what the fight is really about.

    For some reason whenever I am asked to name the pope, actor Benedict Cumberbatch's name is the only thing that pops into my mind and then I can't get it out of there.

    Thanks for verifying who she was. I wasn't sure if it was that or she had an affair with somebody. I have heard of Deep Throat but have never seen it. I assume it was some oral sex movie and those are a million for free now so being a porn star isn't what it used to be I guess.
