World leaders who have no respect for women, like Trump, definitely influences male behaviour all round the world

If they perceive him that way then this is a fair point, @Sandygoldenbeaches, but I wouldn't want to assume that "If Kamala Harris had been voted in, respect for women would have increased all round the world"

Admittedly the US has never had a female leader, but in places which have I wouldn't say they've been automatically respected just because they're women - especially if they're the type not to show their faces after losing, not even to thank all who did so much to promote them

You have no evidence that Trump has, or propagates, a 'low view of women'.

Really? Have you been living under a rock?

Yeah I'm just sat here under my rock waiting for your sources.

Out of interest, would you have voted for Barack Obama and/or Joe Biden?

What do you think that poster means by the term 'resettled'?

"You have no evidence that Trump has, or propagates, a 'low view of women'. And no, being against full-term abortion does not constitute sexism."

'I just grab'em by the pussy, I don't even ask'.

Referring to women as 'pigs' and 'dogs'.

Having unprotected sex with a porn star while his wife was at home caring for his newborn.

Being an adjudicated rapist.

Describing how he would go into the dressing room of Miss Teen USA and see all the young girls undressed.

Would you hire a teacher or a doctor who was known to do/say these things? No? Why? Because you'd see them as a danger to women and children.

Agreed sexism is becoming a bigger issue. I don’t know if it’s my age or my station as a single Mum but all of a sudden at 40 I’m bothered by it.

The disrespect of men seems more evident lately. I think Donald Trump just validates the idea that you can have a low view of women and the world will accept and vote you into the no. 1 job. Yeh for sure that’s validation for men that look down on women.

Vanishingly few of his supporters believe that he is a sexist or an abuser of women, ergo he is not validating anything like this to them.

I am older than you. It got better for a while, I would say that the sweet spot was early 1990s just before the Spice Girls came out and got bad again in the mid naughties, then went downhill hugely the 2020s.

But I remember what it was like the last time Trump was in power.

Men got much worse all round he world.

They got the idea that it was ok to bully, abuse and dominate women.

He brings out the abusive, cruel side in a lot of men

Trump is the bridge between billionaire America and hilly Billy America, and therein lies the secret of his “political comeback”

Yes there are different reasons.

From the letter

This is causing a national crisis, with public trust in politics and the system collapsing. According to new polling by Professor Matt Goodwin. only 6% of British people today say they trust politicians to “tell them the truth”

Reform MPs Demand Starmer 'Tells Truth' About Mass Migration

Reform are piling pressure on Sir Keir over the impact of immigration across the UK. The party's five MPs have this afternoon signed a joint letter

We are having huge huge problems with rape and sexual assault in europe. I'd say that it is one of society's biggest problems

Matthew Goodwin has written to Starmer requesting more details, so we can target who these men are and what is behind this huge increase.

We can guess from data held by other European countries, as to what is behind the spike.

Sandygoldenbeaches · 06/11/2024 15:57

I feel that we live in a world where some men just see women as things to have sex with, and this is encouraged by these types of male leaders

Sandygoldenbeaches · 06/11/2024 15:56

If we had more female leaders, or male leaders that are nice, there definitely would be more things put in place to tackle the huge level of sexual assaults.

Sandygoldenbeaches · 06/11/2024 15:54

I find it scary that when I pointed out that trump had been found liable for a sexual offense, a female poster replied "ah sure 80 per cent of men do that".

This normalisation of sexual assault is not okay.

Keeping voting for these types of men says that this behaviour is OK.

We are having huge huge problems with rape and sexual assault in europe. I'd say that it is one of society's biggest problems.

And it is a big problem precisely because we have men like this in government.

And these men aren't going to implement anything nationwide to stop sexual assaults, when they want to sexually assualt women themselves.

You really think that Trump is going to do any good for ordinary people?

He will focus on protecting American companies over outside foreign interests that’s a good start

Sandygoldenbeaches · 06/11/2024 15:46

I think a man could murder someone in the USA, and he would still be elected over a woman, because he's a man.

Four more years of him. It seems so long.
He was extremely annoying the last time.

Then finally , we will be rid of him, he can't run again

Well, not at the moment he can't.

But maybe he'll die or be incapacitated by then. And if he is, yay, Vance.

It is indeed strange, because when I want justice for something like sexual assault I wait decades until my rapist becomes a powerful political figure regularly compared to Hitler, and/or until the statute of limitations has passed so I don't need to go to criminal court and prove anything... 🤔

Nobody gives a flying fuck about a tortured white-collar crime like the business documents. If the state put half as much effort and scrutiny on any other political or business figure as they have on Trump, they would find at least as much, if not more, on every single one.

Do you not find it funny that after 8 solid years of trying to get him on ANYTHING AT ALL, the best they managed was one count of felonious business discrepancy.
