Quote:I should be ashamed for attacking the notion victims "let" themselves be touched? That's clearly the point that was being made. I married a woman who still struggles with things that happened to her a very long time ago. She didn't "let" those things happen to her. The idea women will "let" themselves be touched inappropriately by someone because they have money, fame or power is manure. Whether or not Trump did it is irrelevant. She is trying to make the point these women "let" this happen as if it's okay. That's disgusting and shocking to come from a woman. Making excuses for this type of behavior and making arguments which blame victims is reprehensible.

 

 

1.) sometimes maybe, just maybe, when someone uses the term let these things so on and so forth they might actually be talking about something consensual based on their rapport, attractiveness, wealth etc.  The idea that you start out with the premise of sexual assault and then back into this backhanded garbage about posting a definition is intellectually dishonest and beneath the discourse of this board.  If you want to criticize him for cheating on his wife, fine.  I'm right there with you.  If you want to say that what he was disgusting, fine, I can see that.  If you want to say that what he said was arrogant and he sounds like a prick fine, that's your prerogative, I can't argue with you.  Making the leap that not only was he advocating sexual assault on a stranger but that anyone who disagrees with your assumption is beneath your respect is just childish. 

 

2.) Moreover, you're starting to sound like one of those guys who beat up his girlfriend...  "Well she SHOULD do the dishes...  If she just did the dishes this wouldn't have happened!"  Bull feathers.  There is no reason to disrespect a woman like that, especially when she just posted a definition that you don't like.  If she posts a lists of synonyms are you going to take off your belt and show her whose boss? 

 

3.) I too am married to and have dated in the past women who have struggled with legitimate sexual assault and the baggage that comes with it.  Trivializing it to serve your own warped agenda ( and to cover the fact that you yourself have been basically run out of two threads that you yourself started because you DON'T have a compelling case to make against Trump on policy ) is a slap in the face to your wife, mine, and all the women in the world who have had to deal with sexual assault not just some rich guy bragging about the perks of being a billionaire...
