I think you will never see what Trump quite possibly has done because part of your brain thinks women allow this and desire it...believing that blocks you from understanding what happens to women who are raped or assaulted by someone with the money and power to completely destroy them
or to understand or relate to what creates these potential victims
you view them as sirens, they are not
they have been erroneously taught and conditioned from a young age that their value as a human being is a sexual one and men thus poorly parented also believe that their worth comes from sexual promiscuity
Trump is a dysfunctional psychologically challenged and unbalanced human being
he is broken and unfit to lead
I also do not think that you understand that sexual assault is actually about power...rape is about power not sex
I think you will always have a blind spot because you do not see the reality of your fellow women.
You are fixated on only your gender. There is no other train at your station, it seems.
Our perspectives are different. I know women as a man, you know them only from yourself and from an outside vantage point, out of the range of what really goes on between other men and women. You might get what your girlfriends choose to tell you.
We, men, get the real deal. So lets get this straight from the start, you seem to have little clue as to what goes on outside your bubble. No disrespect intended.
True rape or true sexual assault, you will get nothing but agreement from me with you. Where the man is the aggressor, takes against the express will, female or another male, the man is at fault.
"Potential victims"? Very hazy concept. You are aware that women, females, do on more than rare occasions falsely accuse men of such, correct? For multiple reasons. I can relate two instances where I have been with a women who shocked me after we finally 'slept' together [ I used to take things slow and easy, didn't want to lead anybody on, wanted to make sure, wanted it to be "nice"].
One time in my late 20s the other was in my early 30s. Independent of each other, cities apart working completely different jobs.
Both of them asked me why I had not raped them.
I was stunned. First, that is not in my character, not my way... certainly is not even sexy, not close to a turn on. Both times it caught me completely off guard. So much so I rejected it out of hand, didn't even then to ask how they could even ask me that, why would I? What quickly went through my mind was the cluster of all the things that could go wrong... it was silly. Not something to even consider, Neither dwelled on it, just mentioned it sort of in passing and then we were on to something else.
Have since wondered, pondered about it. To my mind I could only think of two reasons for those two making the comment. Either they did not want to wait as long as I thought appropriate ... or they wanted sex but did not want to accept the responsibility. It would be done and I would have done it... my fault. I confess I thought this was probably more the case in the first instance, less so in the second. I really haven't a inkling beyond that.
In any event, do not try to tell me about what all women feel, what all women condone, what all women want because its quite apparent, to me anyhow, that you do not really know.
To expect men to psychologically ferret out what is driving each specific female mind, especially when you gals, truly, change it so often...
Hormones? Who knows? But I have experienced it and if you don't agree then, well, we will just have to agree to disagree. I love women, I do not lead women on as I do want to sleep at night and by treating women, people in general, correctly, I can sleep quite soundly. Well, unless and until one of my cats wakes me up softly pawing at my beard wanting breakfast too early.
Fact is, women are not without blame, desire, some are risk takers far beyond others, some are just plain teases... but to summarily put Trump down as psychologically dysfunctional seems to border on an unwarranted prejudice.
I am fully aware of the belief that sexual assault has a relationship to power. So if its more about sex, actually desiring to have sex with a person attractive to the other, then are you saying its not sexual assault?
