We pretty much already knew it, but now he's come out and said it himself -- Donald Trump is not a feminist.
British news host Piers Morgan tweeted a quote from his recent interview with the Prez, in which Trump apparently says, "‘No, I wouldn't say I'm a feminist. I mean, I think that would be, maybe, going too far. I'm for women, I'm for men, I’m for everyone."
BREAKING NEWS: President Trump has declared he is NOT a feminist.
He tells me: ‘No, I wouldn't say I'm a feminist. I mean, I think that would be, maybe, going too far. I'm for women, I'm for men, I’m for everyone.'
Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least 15 women. He's repeatedly denied the claims.
I agree. It’s shameful.
Radical feminists believe that women are victims of male oppression and male domination. They believe that children are a burden and that marriage is a form of slavery that is counterproductive to a woman's self actualization. Women have the right to have abortions so that they can have the same sexual freedom as men. This is an important way that they can be equal to men. This is just leftist identity politics and strategic theory.

The way he is portrayed, you’d think he would have had all sorts of complaints from those women. You sure don’t hear of it do ya.
The guy has gotten a bad rap. Make me wonder about all the trash I used to hear about him now.
It’s too bad the media won’t report this.
I agree.
Okay, that’s a lot of women.
But, he was only doing it to deflect from the well-known fact that he hates women.
(As any Trump-hating liberal and the people at CNN and MSNBC and the Washington Post and NY Times and the HuffPost and Yahoo and ABC/CBS/NBC would spin it)
I agree with your comment I just don't agree with misspelling the name GOD.
No one around here is going to be offended by using that name spelled as we all know it belongs G O D.
Stupid people who gather somewhere other than here might find an issue because Jesus was depicted as a white male by some artist somewhere in time. True believers understand that isn't important and it's off message.
Same goes for the trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It isn't sexist, it isn't about being sexually male. We understand these are eternal beings that have no need to reproduce that we know of and even thinking about it is well beyond our paygrade.
Those who have no concept of a loving father have truly been deprived of an emotion and a connection both into and out from themselves are in such a position of loss I search for, but fail to find the words.
I don’t remember hearing trash about him. I know he was at one time always in the gossip pages but none of it was bad, it was just him being a bit of a player. We heard about him all the time in Europe. When we came to visit NYC then, we definitely went to Trump tower. He was a big deal.
Please forgive me. Not every Jew agrees but it is my way of respect for the Almighty, by not writing out His holy name in full online where it can be deleted or whatever. Maybe the internet really is forever so maybe one day I will change my tradition. Lol. But I mean absolutely the opposite of disrespect.
Thanks for the mention. I had thought he took some bad press over the years.
FWIW, even New Testament authors showed such deference by referring to the Christian title of Jesus in the Greek as KS short for Kurios or Lord. So it ain’t “just” a traditional Jewish thing but an early Christian one as well. If the purpose is to afford glory to the Lord, then any honest means affords said glory. This is where charity is needed.
The linguistic activists who wrote the definitions for feminism are incompetent liars due to each, their subjective or opportunistic nature. By its word roots and its only use, feminism means for women exclusive to any other group, and everyone capable of reason knows it. The greater truth of the matter is that feminism is, in practice, misogamy.
The President made the right choice in answering once again. Well done!

Jews do not casually write any Name of God. This practice does not come from the commandment not to take the Lord’s Name in vain, as many suppose. In Jewish thought, that commandment refers solely to oath-taking, and is a prohibition against swearing by God’s Name falsely or frivolously (the word normally translated as “in vain” literally means “for falsehood”).
Judaism does not prohibit writing the Name of God per se; it prohibits only erasing or defacing a Name of God. However, observant Jews avoid writing any Name of God casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated or destroyed accidentally or by one who does not know better.
The commandment not to erase or deface the name of God comes from Deut. 12:3. In that passage, the people are commanded that when they take over the promised land, they should destroy all things related to the idolatrous religions of that region, and should utterly destroy the names of the local deities. Immediately afterwards, we are commanded not to do the same to our God. From this, the rabbis inferred that we are commanded not to destroy any holy thing, and not to erase or deface a Name of God.
It is worth noting that this prohibition against erasing or defacing Names of God applies only to Names that are written in some kind of permanent form. Orthodox rabbis have held that writing on a computer is not a permanent form, thus it is not a violation to type God’s Name into a computer and then backspace over it or cut and paste it, or copy and delete files with God’s Name in them. However, once you print the document out, it becomes a permanent form. That is why observant Jews avoid writing a Name of God online: because there is a risk that someone else will print it out and deface it. See a 1998 discussion of the issue at The Sanctity of God’s Name, Part 1: Erasing Sacred Texts from a Computer Screen if you’re interested, but be aware that the lengthy article is thick with technical religious jargon, not always explained.
Normally, we avoid writing the Name by substituting letters or syllables, for example, writing “G-d” instead of “God.” In addition, the number 15, which would ordinarily be written in Hebrew as Yod-Hei (10-5), is normally written as Teit-Vav (9-6), because Yod-Hei is a Name. See Hebrew Alphabet for more information about using letters as numerals.

I’m sorry that I’ve made it unclear. This is kind of what I meant.
Ideally, men and women complement each other, each making up for the weaknesses in the other. “Feminism” has just messed everything up, really. I’m glad Trump says he’s not a feminist.
“This making stuff up, really grates me.”

Me, too.
Right now it appears we could almost make a good regiment for masculinity, the way men are bashed today. But we should not. We should fight with all our fiber these PC attempts to raise up one group over some perceived slight to re-slight the opposite group. It is a total failure.
(Agree with you, feminism ruined a lot of things.)
They say that like it's a bad thing...
I know many Jews including Messianic Jews who believe fervently in both the Old and New Testaments. The latter believe Christ is the Son of God and in fact God incarnate. Their choice not to ever use God aka Yahweh aka Jeshua’s name in full is a sign of respect, not one of derision. But they’ll happily spell out Muhammad and Allah. /Hope the point is clear, not trying to pick a fight.
