Trump & The Dim Sex Balloon Animals (Women)

I listened to the actual Trump audio tape for the first time -- 'Grab them by the pussy.' Felt sick. Also, familiar. The nasty simple belief behind those comments -- that women are not equally human, that we are kind of dim sex balloon animals -- is widely shared. All women recognize that way he's talking. I was taught by men who feel like him, I heard that stuff at school, university, it's in plays, the violence against women in Tv, films, a bias in reviews, in casting. In politics, press and people. You listen to that clip and it's not surprising -- he obviously talks like that every day, thank god it was recorded and I hope it destroys him. But also, I hope it shines a light on all the good old 'locker room' chats elsewhere -- that jokey tone that is really aggressive and threatening, rating how fit women are, tits and ass, and grabbing pussy, about women being dumb, sentimental & needy. And the total assumed right to judge. That women can be rated, judged and obtained like goods. The right of an old crazy man to sit in a bus and sexually devour and decimate the women he drives past. (Trump seems to say about another woman on the pavement -- 'Move out the way shorty -- so I can see those legs'). Imagine Barack & Michelle Obama listening to that? They must have been thrilled as it'll finish him off, but sad as they, with their two lovely daughters, speak with the voices of balance and integrity, and yet this nasty voice of inequality and aggression is so pervasive it still has a chance of coming back.
