Trump holding hands and putting arm round women in politics

[REOLay]

This is really bothering me. The thing where he and Theresa May are pictured holding hands, or he's guiding a woman along with his hand on her elbow or back.

It's making me feel so uncomfortable every time the pictures come round.

How come he gets away with doing it, and in front of press too? Do none of these powerful women tell him privately to get his hands off them and keep them to himself? If not why not?

Are there other male politicians who do this? I can't think of any others but maybe that's my own anti trump biased thinking.

I suppose it's a good thing that trump now stands out from the crowd for it, rather than it being an accepted normal behaviour.

Trump is extreme and having grown up with 'women's liberation' rather than feminism, like many misogynists interpreted that as women being liberated to wear revealing clothes and to be told that being groped by men is freedom. But yes, at least it isn't normal in the same way now.
