Trump’s 2005 comments disgust women, but change few opinions

Stephen White played defensive end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets, and is now a blogger for SB Nation. It’s not even surprising that he continues to think that all this and everything he’s done and said about women doesn’t disqualify him from calling himself a “gentleman”.

You’re wrong, and only the type of wrong an over-tanned ham hock like yourself can accomplish, plummeting past the morass of gross incivility into the abyss of depraved sociopathy.

Trump has brushed off the words on the leaked Access Hollywood recording as “locker room talk”. Rather, I am writing this because linking such disgusting comments to locker rooms is an affront to the people who inhabit them. Even he never talked like that. I shall educate you!

But if we remember the declaration of Deuteronomy 6:4 and hear not lewd and idle locker room talk (whether literal or metaphorical) but rather the declaration that “The Lord our God, the Lord is one”, we win in the most important way possible.

They’re old enough to have been in locker rooms but not those kinds of locker rooms and definitely not the sad room (if it exists) where men delight in boasting about repeatedly groping women against their will.

We talk about money.

These men and many others have made a decision to defend themselves and their teammates against assumptions that such a stomach-turning comment would be acceptable in their places of work. Earlier this year, Florida State agreed to pay $950,000 to a woman who said she was raped by former Seminoles star Jameis Winston.

What possible foreign debts might be lurking in that finance closet he so desperately holds shut with every ounce of his contemptible mental faculties?

Guys don’t talk like that in locker rooms. The glaring majority of people who are raped in America experience it at the hands of someone they know-a friend, acquaintance, date, or family member. When there are no women around to impress or shelter or coddle, men, we’re told, revert back to their “true selves”, and their true selves apparently love to sexually assault women, or at least don’t mind hearing about it.

Trump: I have great respect for women. Clean jokes, dirty jokes, jokes that are in between.

I am not writing this to get political; vote your conscience is my motto. “I’m sure, but that’s nothing that any of my peers or anybody that I know would say”, Watkins said. “I just start kissing them”, Trump said.

Then, Sunday night, watching the debate, Weaver said, “I found myself crying, tearing up”.

This comment of “locker room behavior” is remarkably similar to the age-old excuse “boys will be boys”, which was just one of many used in the case of Stanford rapist Brock Turner earlier this year. We learned to empathize with each other. Just like if a president makes a bad decision, it affects everyone.

Republican US presidential nominee Donald Trump listens during their presidential town hall debate at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. “That’s not locker room talk”.

“We do because we can; because it’s there and we don’t have to try for it…” In the other, a man was “rolling with this bad bitch” and asked, “Yo, you gonna let me smash that ass?” Bestow upon it a royal title such as “just”, and the sin isn’t made right, exactly, but it becomes understandable, acceptable even, especially when it is understood as something that occurs in that space cordoned off from the rest of life. She quotes a football players to that effect.
