Men have joked forever. Men have groped forever. Stay away from those ya dont like. 1grope deserves a kick. If you stay around and get picked on, ya should have known better.
If ya dress with half your body showing, its a come on.
Remember biden is the groper.. he showered with his daughter.. he is touchy feely with young ladies.. he did a lousy job raising his son. At a meeting on the trip to Ireland, he told his son to stand up with a gesture “I’m proud of ya.” Proud?
To hone in on a single issue you dont know if true or not... and forget things were so much better under Trump, and they cant do their dirty workbwith him at the helm.. they dont care if your grocery bill has doubled..they want a weak usable one in charge
Speak for yourself. I don’t know what social circles you grew up in, but I’ve been on this planet fifty years nearly and have NEVER heard anyone casually laugh about groping or raping women who wasn’t cruising for a bruising.
I’ve heard some colourful jokes on that topic but the USUALLY VERY DRUNK people who tell them certainly never follow up a calling out with anything that sounds like “yeah, I’ve done it, we’ve all done it, am I right?!” WHEN SOBER.
It would be tantamount to pleading guilty if a defendant had such talk played back to the jury via recorded interviews taken when the defendant was stone cold sober.
We all know the score as regards how character witness works in the courtroom. It usually works against guilty verdicts; women in court lose rape cases because their general sexual conduct is at best loose, at worst bordering on nymphomania... and their evidence isn’t very convincing.
But never forget that it goes both ways. If the prosecution could show an alleged criminal boasting about his crimes it would be mad not to, because that reinforces rather than weakens any circumstantial evidence tying him to the crime.
Eg “Sure I admitted I’m a killer but so what, I didn’t kill THAT one” wouldn’t be a strong defense!
The prosecution played dirty. But it’s not an unprecedented strategy. Trump didn’t have to double down on the right of “stars” to grope women. But he did. On camera.
And they used it because winning is the aim of the game. Whether we think it’s dirty pool or not, the real lesson to learn is, if you want to completely clear your name in a historical sexual assault case, don’t bloody admit on camera more than once that you’re a groper and don’t defend groping in a serious interview.
