You are starting to unravel. I'm hardly a troll.


I'm not even that upset at what Trump said. It is certainly not out of character.

I'm more concerned with substantive issues, then any candidates sexual proclivities.

People have the right to be outraged though, as are the people who are outraged at the outrage.

It is all free speech.

Leader v follower? Are you referring to your weird comment about my husband working for the government vs you who are self employed?

Everyone reports to someone. As a self employed individual you report to the government and such, more so if you have employees (insurance, etc.).

We are quite comfortable financially, and if you make more then great!! You don't know my husband's rank so whether he is a leader or a follower there is not determined. I also have no trouble with followers.

DH retires at 50, I retired at 47, and we live in Hawaii - we have been blessed (and worked very hard!).

Probably why I'm self employed and set my own worth and destiny, while your husband is employed and under the control of someone else determining his worth in life & guiding his way down a path.


You made my point better than I ever could.

I'm fine with that, and glad I could help you out. Luckily they really value him.

I have to wonder how many of the men in this thread who are complaining that it's not acceptable to talk about women the way Trump did would absolutely lose their **** if it were a gay man talking about kissing them or grabbing their crotch.

I'm a straight guy.

If a gay guy or anyone else (who knows how many genders the SJWs have us at now) grabbed my crotch I would simply tell him "no, not interested".

Not harassment. Not assault. Nothing to report or worry about.

Normal adults understand that an initial sexual advance has traditionally not received verbal or written consent prior to the act.

Normal adults also understand that not everyone shares your personal morals/values on what is "appropriate" or "acceptable" in terms of a sexual advance.

But this is how humans interact. That is why understanding consent in sexual advances is important to understand.

The reason why this is a big problem for most is because they have a collectivist mentality.

Uh huh. The only reason you say it doesn't bother you is because it's not something you have to worry about. If you were in danger of being subjected to unwanted groping by a percentage of half the population and it could happen anywhere at any time from a complete stranger and you couldn't tell who was going to try it and people would tell you it's your own fault because of how you dress you would probably feel differently.

But go ahead and keep pretending that being felt up by a stranger or someone you have expressed no interest in having a relationship with is the same as an initial sexual advance from someone you are having a relationship with is the same thing.

And in what alternate world does collectivism have anything to do with it? Anyone who is not OK with someone talking about forcing themselves on them is suddenly a communist?
