Legal Commentary

: Althouse

"Your mother committed suicide, in a pact with a lover, in 1973. Did she suffer from lifelong depression?"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"No. I think she was having a bad menopause, and she was losing her looks, which were pretty impressive."

Yes. It's honest analysis, plainly stated.
No. He should show reverence or empathy or at least respect.
No, because it sounds demeaning toward women generally.
