Yea, I can see how she assumes it’s racism. But it could just be transphobia. Then again, it could also be both. Btw, there is nothing alarming about dark skin people (no matter the height), so if that is why, then racism played a factor. It can be both, you know.

That’s all called racism and bigotry. Just because its normal when you’re part of the majority group in a country doesn’t make it right.

Why wait? Corporations have been jumping to conclusions and throwing individuals under the bus for decades without consequence. Its only fair that we do the same to them.

I don’t wish to speak for MatisyahuSerious, but I did want to say, real quick, there’s a world of difference between what someone is TOLD, and what someone is TAUGHT. I believe (and dearly HOPE) that the vast majority if not basically all men/boys in this country are TOLD at some point in their lives to respect women…

It’s quite simple. GrantedI’m a guy so my opinion on woman’s lives means jack.

Gah. The mothers, daughters, etc trope makes me so angry. In a way, angrier than Drumpf’s comments.  we shouldn’t be surprised by his comment. He’s a flaming shitbag. If this is what it took for anyone to unendorse him, then fine, but don’t think you’re getting a cookie for it. The damage is done... he is your nominee.

We’re all, on some level, totally awful and just a multimillion-dollar house and a beautiful blue coat away from accidentally blowing up our lives on a whim like Frances.

I want someone to say that, because he has SONS, he finds Trump’s comments repulsive. Just one! Loudly and publicly! Because what hope do we ever have of fixing this culture if people don’t start raising boys to treat women with respect, & start demanding better role models for them?

Yes, and personally I’m sick of every man who comes forward now to say that, because he has daughters, he finds Trumps comments repulsive. Dude, if you need a daughter to remind you how wrong this is, your moral compass is busted.

Also they think they raised their daughters well so they will pick nice men. The onus is on the woman for the selection of a spouse, not for the man to not be awful. This is also their excuse for not giving a shit about DV. The woman should’ve known better.

Could you please ask them, “What would you say if someone talked to YOU like that?” I’d be interested to hear how they would answer.

Well, as one of the 4 daughters of a man who retained his sexist attitudes after I was born, colour me not shocked. Becoming fathers doesn’t cure men of sexist attitudes.

In the few locker rooms where I wasn’t being pants’d or stuff into a locker, even the most neanderthal of the bunch didn’t brag about sexual assault. Objectifying, sure, yes, and admittedly common (and awful). Sexual assault, no. It’s not goddamn normal.

Good point, sexual predators and harassers often think that everyone thinks like them.

Joking around about sexual assault? Bullshit. This was not “she has a nice ass” talk, this was an admission of guilt of criminal behavior. God forbid you have a daughter.

God yes, seriously, this isn’t “locker room talk”. If anything it’s “12 year old morons on internet forums talk”.

I’ve been in plenty of locker rooms. Implying that you enjoy sexually assualting women with impunity is not and has never been a normal topic of conversation.

Buuuuut no, though. They’re not saying “you made moms whose kids died of pill overdoses feel bad when they see your purse”. It’s literally “uh this is promoting fucking sad, damaging, dangerous attitudes that will be harmful to those who fall under the influence of the casual attitude toward prescription drug abuse”.…

A crowd of undecided voters is already anti-Clinton, because the basis of their concerns is not rooted in objective reality.
