When (and where) I was a kid (80s Birmingham, England) a 'trump' was a particularly loud, unapologetic fart.

I though I was gay when Baywatch started airing in my early teens - a
time when a well turned door handle could start me off - and I couldn't
see the fuss over Pamela Anderson.

I was hugely disappointed on turning 30 to realise I'd never been on the run with Jenny Agutter.

If you're up for big psychology words, look up ressentiment. That's the alt right through and through.

Like I say, Tim: keep it in your fantasies, and it shouldn't be too harmful.

Not at all. The rise in liberal, post-Christian ethics, what might be called 'human rights', has a strong core based on an individual's right from such assault. Nothing hypocritical about it. It's not prudery to object to someone boasting about sexual assault.

While - and I can't believe I'm writing this - it may be preferable that Trump was bullshitting about how he behaves towards women, it seems he's very much a man of action. Terrible, terrible actions.

Fucking hell.

"without thinking for a second about that it takes two to tango."

"Stop pretending you haven't engaged in stuff like this."

U ok hun?

'It's just locker room talk. It's what men do!'.

Look at it this way.

About a year back, it was alleged that our (UK) then Prime Minister facefucked a dead pig in order to be let into a super special secret club when at university. After this revelation, there was mostly embarrased silence, but a few brave souls decided to try and defend it, even normalise it.

Thank god the director turned out to be a rapist. It got a little too close for a while, eh?

Your question makes no sense.

Yes, yes, you've read Baudrillard. No need to be a dickhead about it.

No, it's not. A glance at any part of the internet will reveal as such. The rancour and anger and desperation for attention verily seeps through one's screen, as well you know.

And yet, you were. What you single out online feminists for applies to pretty much all of us online.

That old myth.
