Why the fuck are we still even listening to anyone who defends the grab them by the wimp comments. Fucktard is going to get us all blown sky high and someone is here trying to act like "correcting" someone on that goddamn grab them by the wimp bullshit is still important. It no longer fucking matters. No one gives a shit if you think trump didn't say it. But for godsake stop fucking "mansplaining" it. Good grief. For the record I'm not defending the comment that people are CLAIMING that he made. It wouldn't be defensible. I'm defending the true and verifiable fact (if anyone would bother listening to the actual freaking recording, and not ignoring the parts that don't fit preconceived notions) that he never said he did anything. I'll stop "mansplaining" it, when women stop "womanrealityignoring". Deal? Good grief. ETA: and I wouldn't have had to correct the lie, if the lie hadn't been brought up by someone else in the first place... So how about drawing your ire to the source of the problem... not the solution.

time to go back to that ignore button. It's just not worth it to argue with arrogance & an over inflated male ego.

I think that was a reference to the transgender Texas high-schooler who, because of a stupid Texas rule was not allowed to wrestle against boys as he wanted to, but was instead forced to wrestle girls and won the state championship. Or the physically male transgender track runner that beat all the girls at the track meet, quite handily... but wouldn't have finished better than dead last against other boys. Connecticut transgender sprinter Andraya Yearwood wins two state titles amidst controversy
From a linked article INSIDE that link: Reminds me of the Futurama episode where Bender competes as a fembot.

You didn't hear the recording if you claim that he didn't brag that he could just "grab them by the pu$$y". That IS sexual assault, btw. And he bragged that he could do it because he was "a star" I heard the recording... apparently you didn't. "You can" were his words that preceded "grab them by the {you know}", not "I have", nor "I will"... hell... not even "I can"... it was "YOU can". ... ...
Trump: "Yeah that's her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."
Bush: "Whatever you want."
Trump: "Grab them by the . You can do anything." www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37595321

I used to teach English as a second language. Many languages don't have words that change depending on the emphasis. One of the exercises I used to show this was the phrase:
I did not say you stole my brown hat (indicating someone else said it)
I did not say you stole my brown hat (but I think it)
I did not say you stole my brown hat (but I think it was stolen by someone, just not you)
I did not say you stole my brown hat (perhaps you just meant to borrow it)
I did not say you stole my brown hat (I said you stole my white one)
So the phrase:
"YOU can do anything" is quite different from "You can do ANYTHING"
All one has to do is listen to the emphasis
And of course: "I moved on her like a bitch" needs no emphasis to be clear. Your guy is a pig and you cannot splain away his behavior.

... And of course: "I moved on her like a bitch" needs no emphasis to be clear. Your guy is a pig and you cannot splain away his behavior.Two things: - He's not "my guy", I'm just defending reality against the constant re-writing that many like to do.
- That one ("I moved on her like a bitch") is not defensible, and I would never try and defend it. I agree he's a scumbag. I just wish people would use his actual scum-bagginess against him. There's no need to invent more. There's already plenty of ammo to use against him. Why screw up the argument by using lies when the truth is just as bad if not worse?
