I am a very prim and proper 72 yr old woman, of fine breeding. If you think we women do not know that men talk like that in the locker room, and in all guy groups, you are very naive.
We have known boys to talk like this since we were teens, and mostly it is to show off to each other - like gorillas smacking their chests, to show that they are “manly”
I think it is a ridiculous news story, and damages only the newsies and networks that are in all out “clutching pearls mode before they take to their fainting couches”.
And, in the meantime, who has actually done the raping? Not just engaged in guy yakking.
Of course, you, dear snark, have never engaged in such banter?
I don’t have the money or the fame to walk up to a woman and “grab her” privates without getting arrested. And no... I have said some things in my day but I can quite literally and honestly say, I have never said things like that about a married woman nor single. Never. I understand Trump is of a different upbringing. One of fame and wealth. Maybe he can say that and get away with it. I can not and never could.
I am not so easily dismissive of his character as some are today. Just like I was not dismissive of Billy Clinton.
Problem is the drivebys will run this three minute tape a zillion times until every woman in the country can recite it by heart. My big question is should Trump counter all this by showing how Hillary ran the bimbo eruptions knowingly savaging women that bill had raped. Or will that back fire on him as well? We really need women's opinions on this, IMHO.
