[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to me that all of these overly sympathetic characterizations of Brandon from the Christian women on this board belie the deeply rooted misogyny so prevalent in a lot of Christianity.

I’m no Jen fan - I find her vapid, fake and immature, but these Brandon takes “poor Brandon - he cheated and abused alcohol and drugs bc he was married to someone more famous than he is but he really loves the lord” are outrageous.[/quote]

The difference is that Brandon isn’t swindling people.  No one is calling him a saint, but it’s hard to have the disdain for him that people do for Jen when she’s the one actively deceiving others.[/quote]

HE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE FOR AT LEAST FOUR YEARS. Now he's schilling real estate. My God.[/quote]

To be clear, selling real estate in and of itself is not schilling. Sales people engage in commerce, we make the world go round, and is a noble profession. A shill— A person engaged in covert advertising. The shill attempts to spread buzz by personally endorsing the product in public forums with the pretense of sincerity, when in fact he is being paid for his services.  Clearly Jenn fits this definition. Brandon could be, but not all sales people are shills. Just want to make that distinction. I’m in sales and like to think I’m sincere about the value I provide clients and I, and most sales professionals I know, act in an ethical and professional manner. Not all of course, like any profession that are gross and dishonest sales reps.  [/quote]
