I think it is entirely possible that he was exaggerating how he typically behaved around women. But as you say, the only possible explanation for exaggerating his behavior in this way is hugely problematic.

This is why I never understood how any woman could vote for him. Even if they thought he was lying / bragging / joking, that shows an incredible lack of respect for women.

The only thing I could think of is that is the way most men they know behave / talk, which would be very sad.


I'm going off memory but pretty confident I got this right. Trump started off by saying he took a super famous chick out furniture shopping and it went nowhere. He said he moved on her like a bitch. It was self deprecating. Shortly after he talks about how you can grab chick's by the pussy if you're famous. Not a confession but more like follow up to his self deprecating comment.

It's actually funny seeing people seriously taking his comment as a confession. Like how is trump (or almost anyone) alone with a strange lady? Imagine doing that at a party or restaurant. Have you ever even heard of someone saying grab a woman by the pussy before Trump? Probably not. It's crude but funny. It's absurd.

Women line up to meet serial killers or date Chris brown, or Simpson etc

Ah, the old, "Don't listen to what Trump said; listen to what [strike] I[/strike] he meant" routine.

Even if one were to ignore what he said and go by your subjective interpretation instead, what you said makes no sense. How is saying he grabs chicks by the pussy a follow-up to something he said a minute earlier when the comment directly followed him saying he just can't resist kissing women without waiting? Why didn't his PR team use that reason instead of the locker room one?

Man, you ******s really twist yourselves into pretzels trying to change the English language. But I get it - that's why most of Trump's press secretaries can't make it a year.

It’s more understandable when you consider that women generally have a pretty low view of male sexuality and sexual behaviour and are often more forgiving of male sexual bragging.

Do you really think this is apples to apples?

I wouldn't think that even a convicted serial rapist is grabbing women by the pussy fwiw.

They're going to grab them by the arm, or by the neck, or some other part of the body.

That people think that Trump is literally saying what his sexual assault m.o. is in that tape is really hilarious.

Do you think he's being literal when he says he just starts kissing women without waiting?


by lozen m

Were are all the women claiming he grabbed my pussy ?
He was bragging that he was famous and women would allow him to do that . He bragged he could shoot someone and no one would care .

It's hard to argue with you because I don't think we come from the same planet but are you asking this literally? I don't think any woman has come out saying ''he grabbed my pussy'' but there's over 28 women who accused him of sexual assault.

by Luckbox Inc m

If Trump says he kicks ass in the business word you guys wouldn't assume that he is actually out kicking people, right? Would you?

Not sure why "grab them by the pussy" is something you think he's literally doing.

lol


by Luckbox Inc m

I only say that because clearly you're a miserable person.

Not the vibe I get.

No do you?


The problem is Trump's body of work, not any single comment in isolation.

You seem weirdly confident about this opinion. Why wouldn't a sexual predator grab them by the pussy? What evidence do you have that Trump doesn't do this?

Has any woman ever reported that Trump grabbed them by the pussy?

Not that I'm studying rape cases but I don't ever recall of ever hearing any rape victim report that they were grabbed that way either.

If it comes out that Trump has grabbed a woman by her pussy then I'll admit I was wrong.

How are you defining "grab"?


by Didace m

How are you defining "grab"?

I would say using ones hands or fingers in some sort of clenching manner

Charles Manson received hundreds (thousands?) of love letters while in prison.

Amateur. Should have put the recipient address as the return address, then it gets there without a stamp.

No do you?

I think he's being literal.

I'm a little confused on this point as well. Even if you concede that Trump's statement probably wasn't an accurate statement of his actual behavior, it certainly doesn't follow that he respects women or treats them appropriately.

I'm marking you down as "I have no evidence at all."

Whether Trump respects or not isn't what is being debated-- we're debating whether his statement of "grabbing them by the pussy" is something that should be taken literally.

I understand what you are debating. I'm asking why, for the purpose of evaluating Trump, you think it is an important point on which to reach a consensus.

We're not evaluating Trump. We're evaluating the intelligence of those who believe he is literally grabbing women by the pussy.
