Mashmont will offer up this personal insult, just as Jesus offered up His pain when scourged before the Crucifixion.

Read the thread and you'll learn what I believe, so save the feminazi lectures.
My point stands. There is no concrete evidence that Trump grabbed anybody's, as the above crude poster put it, "cootch". Additionally, that poster accused the president of sexual harassment and rape. Where's the proof?

Being disappointed with his bragging is different than being on board with actual ***** grabbing by any man.
Thanks for playing...

Why would he brag about it if he didn't do it? He has a history of being sexually aggressive, even with his wife and daughter as well as during a Miss Teen US pageant.

When did standing up for yourself make somone a Femi-nazi? I'm not telling you to leave your husband and listen to Joni Mitchell, Paula Cole or Ani DeFranco.

I could not disagree with your assessment more, Mashmont. There is such a thing as being a gentleman and showing the barest modicum of self-restraint, and not go around poking, prodding, groping, slapping, or kneading women's bodies without their consent, either express or implied. This man did not know this woman from Adam's Off Ox. He should not get to touch some woman he does not know without her consent.

I may not go after this man to have him fired from his job, or hung, drawn and quartered, but I am not going to go out of my way to defend him or this behavior. This woman is not wrong to feel the way that she does. She should not have to suffer being touched without her consent by men who think access to women's bodies is their God-given right. Bottom line, be a gentleman, or be ready to suffer the consequences.

Agreed. My guess is he's going to be charged with battery/assault, plead guilty and spend 200 hours picking up other peoples trash on the highway or local parks.

There is no way you are a Catholic.

Oh sure, it really does, in the end, boil down to a matter of degree.
This guy was a jerk, but in the larger picture doesn't deserve more than a generic reproach and a warning.
But put this in a darkened parking lot or the alley of an apartment building.
Now the dynamics change, even if it still was just a casual slap on the butt in passing.
Now it's just these two, the predator and his victim, alone, in the dark of night.

Now that casual whack on the butt looks and feels very different, and much more frightening for the victim.

I agree context is everything. I would almost feel sorry for any fool to attempt anything with my SO in a secluded area, she would have their hide for a new handbag. She loves her handbags.

You people don't understand you're being manipulated by the Marxist left. Do you think "changing norms" are random and accidental? No. The Marxists who control the media are instructing their outlets how to react to these incidents and how they tell us we should react. The goal is divide America by race, class, and gender. The goal is to make every perceived minority outraged and angry at all times. And they do that by making every little act a major offense. Anger and unrest makes it easier for societal collapse, and when that happens, look who's there to pick up the pieces and reshape the country: The Marxists. Led and financed by George Soros. And when the Marxists gain control, guess whose family will be there among the small circle of leaders to steal unspeakable wealth. You got it. Soros.

The man broke the law. She has every right to be outraged. You're not allowed to randomly touch peoples butts.

Dude, get a grip. When has grabbing, slapping or otherwise unwanted touching of a woman's butt ever been acceptable in US history?

Well let me ask you when in US history has a man ever been arrested and sentenced for slapping a woman through a hard plastic raincoat on the butt?

Let me attempt to put that in perspective. I don't know if Mashmont will understand it though...

When I was a young, single horny dude, if a female tried to cop a feel, no it was not that big of a deal for me.
We're wired a little differently, I guess.
Generally speaking, however, it is clear to me that most of these women were usually quite inebriated.

Once I became a married man however, it became uncomfortable for me.
Hell's bells, it was even uncomfortable when I was in a serious relationship with that "special someone".

One, I wasn't interested. I was with someone, so thanks, but no thanks.

Two, I wasn't comfortable with word getting back to my significant other..."oh did you see, Jeff was slap happy and getting himself groped at the bar the other night, looked like he was enjoying the attention"....yeah sure, not really. I was concerned that it was a bit of intrusion on my relationship.

Three, if it's that "turnabout is fair play and I am signalling to you that it probably is even though I actually know you're in a committed relationship", it still isn't "fair play" because I know that YOU know I'm with someone, so you're putting me in an uncomfortable position AND you're disrespecting the lady I was with, so it's really a slap in her face just as much.
Geezus lady, don't get me involved in your dealio with her, okay?

In a case like that, it is the equivalent of me walking up and bird-dogging some guy's wife or girlfriend when I know they're together in a committed relationship, so it's clear that I am disrespecting both of them.
And I HAVE had that happen a few times, and it was clear to ME that the dude was disrespecting the both of us.

Again, in a case like that, whether the groper is male or female, they both knew it was wrong and still just didn't give a damn.

Are you really this naive?

Bravado would be my guess, but still, bravado is not evidence of an actual sexual assault.
Having an aggressive personality, blabbing off the cuff in a vulgar braggadocios manner is not evidence of a sex crime.
 
And Trump is NOT the topic of this thread.

To my knowledge, such an act falls under the definition of battery under Georgia law. So if caught, he certainly could face the possibility of prosecution.
 
How the heck can anyone think this is in any way appropriate? This is page one, and I have no intention to read further comment, because I know they are coming, the justifications for this type of behavior.

Shouldn't you be asking that of the guy who made the personal insult?

How ludicrous for you to compare someone else's disgusting vulgarism to what you said. If you're confused, make an appointment with your parish priest this week and let him school you. :2sick1:

I was in the film production industry (as well as all facets of film and television) for almost forty years, an industry where many gay people feel at home, so yes, I have indeed observed it because I do have a great many gay friends, and I observe how careful some straight guys become about boundaries when they clearly weren't previously so.
For these kinds of people, it's a learning experience.
The exit ramp to all kinds of social and cultural friction is for people to be around other cultures more.
It increases social awareness.

There's nothing odd about it at all, because just like straights, gay people have their own social venues, and their own social norms and mores.
And...yes, there are indeed some rude and crude gay people too, just like there are in the straight world.

Nothing odd about it, except to you.
And I am not impressed that you suddenly feel the need to exert your swagger either.
That's a sign that you may be feeling threatened, maybe there's a cream for that or something, to calm you down.

Do I think you would react meekly as a victim might?
Hey, you seem to feel that's par for the course for an attractive TV reporter, yes?
Why yes, that is exactly how you feel and you can't deny it either, because here are your own words:



It's NOT different. That reporter is someone's daughter, or sister, or aunt, or mother, or girlfriend, or their wife.
So it's NOT different.

How often does everybody have to rub your own words in your face before the light bulb finally comes on for you?
At this point, I think it's just a matter of pride for you because you're realizing that not very many people agree with your arrogant statements of derision.

Oh yeah, she's a reporter, which to you, means she's really not a human being, thanks to your distorted view of the press and media in general.
We get that, too. To people like you, she's utterly expendable.
I do get that about you.
It says an awful lot about who and what you really are.

No need for all the personal attacks.

I just think a reporter should go with the flow when it's something minor like this. You have to be able to think on your feet and diffuse. I don't think reporter girl will ever make it to the national scene.

Nobody said it was appropriate. It just wasn't the crime of the century as it's being made out to be.
