And some people think we don't need feminism any more.

Yeah, you can really see how much he has been absorbed by the system since he became a part of it.

It's really toned him down. Hmm

0phelia · 09/11/2016 13:38

If you hate politicians as much as they do you will overlook all of his talk, as he's proven it to be bollocks anyway so many times. They know he's a shit stirrer and not a politician.

0phelia · 09/11/2016 13:36

Abortion won't suddenly become illegal and there won't be a war. He'll be absorbed into the system like they all are and he won't have total dictation on everything.
In fact he's probably bricking it now and will calm down.

DoinItFine · 09/11/2016 13:36

Being sick of politicians doesn't mean you are not making a racist, misogynist choice when you vote for a fascist sexual predator because he is "not a politician".

0phelia · 09/11/2016 13:31

People are sick of politicians. Trump isn't one. It's more to do with that than gender.

It really is amazing isn't it? Even when a man admits to sexually assaulting a woman there will still be people defending him and claiming the woman is a liar, it didn't happen and she's making the whole thing up.

It reminds me of what happened to Katie Koestner back in the 90's. The man who raped her admitted that she had said no and that she didn't want to have sex with him but he went ahead and did it anyway yet people still sided with him and called her a liar.

Yet people still insist that as soon as a woman makes an allegation against a man then that's it; she's automatically believed and his life is automatically ruined. Bizarre.

Err, so?

Not quite yonic, I don't imagine it was a t-shirt you just could buy off the shelf...

i said it on another thread but I'll say it again for any US MNers - if you are a woman and you don't want kids, or don't want any more kids, get sterilised while you still can. You won't have any abortion rights very soon.

Is that possible in the US? I mean, I have heard from lots of people that they were refused this on the grounds of "You will want to have babies in the future!", even women as old as 35 ... and then women over that age were told to just wait until menopause.
Or is the US similarly liberal with that as with cosmetic surgery?

Pretending to be trans and getting a "gender reassignment surgery" would probably be a safer bet in many countries. Though of course that would mean you have to have all your bits removed, which is not good for health.

Person wears stupid t shirt has zero to do with anything.

AVirginLitTheCandle · 09/11/2016 13:18

Why does he need to prove his innocence? Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

Seriously?

What part of he has admitted to sexually assaulting women are you having trouble understanding?

VestalVirgin · 09/11/2016 13:16

Please stop complaining about Clinton.

Clinton is a politician you don't like.

Trump is ... I think someone somewhere used the description "rabid circus monkey" which is somewhat accurate, only that an actual monkey would be way less dangerous.

user1475253854 · 09/11/2016 13:16

I haven't seen the picture myself, but someone on the news quiz said there was a woman at a trump rally wearing a T-shirt with an arrow pointing down saying "trump can grab my" ...

tribpot · 09/11/2016 13:02

I don't think 'innocent until proven guilty' applies to self-confessed acts of sexual assault, does it? He said he did it.

Lorelei76 · 09/11/2016 13:00

user, I was very careful to say in my post - my view isn't based on allegations, it's based on the stuff that has emerged from that man's gob, usually on live TV.

i said it on another thread but I'll say it again for any US MNers - if you are a woman and you don't want kids, or don't want any more kids, get sterilised while you still can. You won't have any abortion rights very soon.

He was on film saying it!

Also sorry to say but some of the worst critics of women and who try to keep them down are other women. Just look at suffrage for women in the past.

Zxyzoey31 · 09/11/2016 12:53

I have been saying this (the title of the thread) for months and that is why he would probably win. Lets face it, America has quite a racism problem and despite this the democrats put up a black man as a presidential candidate over a woman previously because that was less of a risk.

I am not surprised but disappointed. He campaigned on irresponsible populism and abuse.

YonicProbe · 09/11/2016 12:52

"allegations are allegations, what if it turns out Trump is actually not guilty of the things he's been accused of all along"

The thread title is 'boasts of' - he boasted of grabbing women by the pussy.

Completely agree with Pluto30
By a woman who stands by another man accused of assaulting women.
The same woman who threatened her husbands victims and who had no qualms about defending a peadophile and gloating that she knew he was guilty. Not to mention brandishing his 12yr old rape victim a liar. Not exactly a woman I'd want as role model.

Lilmisskittykat · 09/11/2016 12:46

Just wondering where the credibility is in voting for a woman that said it was acceptable for her husband to have an affair and stood by him and risked homeland security

Not the best role model I don't think.

I think America didn't have two particularly great choices

RiverTam · 09/11/2016 12:44

He's been recorded saying these things!

And he would have been due to stand trial of raping a 13yo girl, if she hadn't withdrawn her complaint in the face of death threats.

Hillary had allegations against her with regard to her emails which have been proved to be untrue. Didn't stop millions of Americans preferring the man accused, and not yet proved innocent, of child rape, and clearly guilty by his own admission of misogyny and harassment of women.

Still laughing?

SquedgieBeckenheim · 09/11/2016 12:43

I've seen American women on Facebook today saying that Trump is the lesser of 2 evils. That makes no sense to me. Apparently Hilary Clinton is hated over there.

user1478684818 · 09/11/2016 12:41

allegations are allegations, what if it turns out Trump is actually not guilty of the things he's been accused of all along? mud-throwing isn't unheard of in politics
