Quote:It's your opinion that he was talking about sexually assaulting woman, I don't share that opinion.



In the same audio tape, he is talking about hitting on and being rejected by Nancy O'Dell. “I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it" is what he said about her. He took no for an answer, not the classic response from someone that sexually assaults women for sport.


And as far as the definition of let goes, it had nothing to do with insulting ACTUAL victims of sexual assault and rape. Throwing around words like sexual assault and rape without cause does nothing but diminish the legitimate claims of such incidents. He wasn't talking about forcing women to accept his advances, he never said anything about grabbing their [bad word removed] whether they wanted him to or not.


The man is a misogynistic [BAD WORD REMOVED] hole, but bragging about woman letting you kiss them and grab their [bad word removed] because you are famous is completely different than sexually assaulting them.

If you believe all of these things about the man, why take him at his word these women all "let" him do it? That's what blew me away. He is referencing predatory behavior. Sure it's not much different than picking up at a bar, but he goes to the point of inferring he grabs women by the crotch and they "let" him because he gets away with it. Were these women intimidated, concerned about the consequences of standing up for themselves, shocked and froze up? Maybe they are not strong willed. You posed the argument these women "let" it happen to them. It's wrong any way you slice it. Of course, women should be able to stand up for themselves. Not all can. And nobody should be blamed for allowing something to happen to them they do not invite.
