somehow this op-ed from 2007 was not rediscovered during the election

And could Americans, like the French, ever elect a cuckold to the presidency?

The question is more relevant than it seems.

I’m thinking, of course â€" aren’t I always? â€" of Hillary Clinton.

A formidable woman of real power and prestige, [Hillary] emerged from the Monica affair much more cuckold than cuckquean. Her husband’s perfidy did, in a sense, disturb the natural order of things; in the post-feminist age, women like Hillary are not supposed to be subject to such indignities.

Hillary has never been, as she herself once put it, “some little woman standing by my man.� Perhaps that’s what made the spectacle of her public humiliation so unique and so unsettling and, ultimately, so unforgivable for the many women who came away from it all despising her.

I think I now understand that particular aspect of the Clinton conundrum in a way I never did before. It comes down to this: nobody likes a cuckold.

and yet she somehow managed to practically avoid the label even while its metaphorical sense was being lobbed at just about anyone who was politically involved in 2016, especially lefties and #nevertrump conservatives

don't you by definition have to be male to be a cuckold, or have we as a society progressed to allow women to be cucks now

[Kalahari Inkantation]

well there's also the term cuckquean, but the difference between the two is equal to the difference between actor/actress, and they can both be abbreviated to 'cuck'

What if she's literally a cuck. Like, what if she's into it?

[Kalahari Inkantation]

that would explain why she keeps running for president and losing

it would explain why she stuck with bill despite having been humiliated on a global scale

it would explain her close relationship with huma abedin, another known cuck who also chose to remain with her sicko husband in spite of it all

maybe she secretly enjoys it

Cuckolding is rapidly emerging as the alt-sex fetish of choice for American intellectuals. Just check out the online forums like OurHotWives.org/forum, where letter-perfect postings celebrate cuckoldry as a cerebral pursuit, transcending ordinary voyeurism and S&M as a dangerous game involving jealousy, misery, gratitude, shame, sharing, sublimation, lust, and trust.

Once a month, Drs. Paul and Sally Pines, a pair of New York City-area Ph.D.s who have been married 25 years, check into a hotel suite with another man. As Paul looks on, Sally and the man snuggle up together on the couch like lovebirds. Soon their clothes are off, and before long, she’s wailing in ecstasy as the man has aggressive, passionate sex with her. Paul, helpless, can only watch and suffer. Afterward, Paul serves lunch to his wife and the man in the suite’s dining area [...]

[...] cuckolding attracts "the very highly educated," Paul says, adding that it’s “truly intellectual in its enterprise because it replaces sexual touch with humiliation and emotional pain, both of which are psychological."

Watching Sally having sex with another man, "I realize how bad I am at it. And this is really hard for me to say"—at this point, his voice cracks—"but I get off on it."

Jealousy, Block theorizes, is a social construct based on the notion that husbands own their wives, and is thus "much more recent, evolutionarily speaking, than the competition that turns guys on. That's why it's mostly intellectuals who are into cuckolding: because other guys are crippled by jealousy. They're aroused and upset and don't know why."
