Do you know anyone in your life who boasts of sexual assault? Is that any sort of "locker room talk" that you have ever engaged in? I spend a week every summer at a camp with 100 dudes who get raunchy. The talk is loud and funny and locker room and raunchy. And no one ever talks remotely like that. And, as David Letterman just said, do you know anyone in your life who would mock a disabled person? You would shun someone who did that.
That's because you're an adult in a position of authority. When they are outside of your earshots, they are telling racist jokes and saying the worst things imaginable. When you're around other guys that are like minded and basically "shooting the shit", all bets are off.
So when you hear a guy say "oh man I'd f*ck her" , or "I wanna get up inside that woman", or whatever. It's the same damn thing, as "oh iamma grab her by the pu&&y" It's just a dude, talking shit. Did he really do it? No. Does any of your friends really do what they were saying? No. You just boast to each other about stuff to be macho or whatever. And the only reason these guys in sports are speaking out against Trump is because they don't want a negative perception brought into them.. Anyone 'round here watch "Ballers"? If you do, you know exactly what goes down in the sports (pro athlete) world.
I don't think he was talking about assault. Rather that some women are like groupies to rich/famous people and he could have his way with most. That's still not a healthy attitude toward women, but it's hardly at any kind of criminal level of conduct. Those who suggest it is are simply wrong or repeating lies the Clinton campaign wants spread.
I can't believe you justify groping and demeaning women.... then say it's not assault because they are groupies? Have you even heard what those women have said about him? I guess they are liars too eh? I don't remember anyone saying they'd put him in jail for it so I don't get the Clinton lies part of your post....it just points out the Trump will abuse his power....but I guess that's ok with you
I don't either, but he had to say something. Well on the other hand guys do put guys on in the locker room. Trump had that news wonk giggling, that was the game.
Geez, river, don't blow a fuse! You need not always see things in light of how other feel. It is ok to think of what is really happening. Listen to that news wonk giggle. Who is entertaining the shit out of him?
Ha! The pair! Sort of hard for me to imagine these guys actually doing this shit. It has been damn near 50 years ago, that I was in a PB club in Boston. Not really worth a repeat, so... WTF?
I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. Trump has the sexual maturity of a ten year old.
At first I glance I saw green font all over this thread. Maybe in middle/high school there was "locker room talk" with my friends... Or really anyone. But after a certain time, I personally didn't feel the need to talk about with other guys what I'd like to do to a girl I'm involved with. You know that's kind of between her and I. Maybe this makes me a beta male because I don't feel the need to act macho ~ oh well. Trump shouldn't have said what he did. No apology can solve it. But it's not like this is the first time he's said something racist or outrageous.
