Trump's "She's Not My Type" Comments Perpetrate the Myth that Rape is About Sex

[dlk]

It isn’t but, instead, is about asserting power and control over the victim to humiliate and degrade them. The president of the United States is some piece of work. Thank you GOP.

1. ""She's Not My Type""

So he kinda sorta admitted if she "was" his type he would have done it, yes?

19. Yes. That too.

But he was using her looks as an excuse as she is now. 25 years ago is a different story.

2. But....

She is only one boob job and one face lift away from being his type.

3. It would have been done to dominate her, and to show dominance over her husband.

.

I'm sure she was a factor, but I kinda think he was also doing it to humiliate and show power over her husband.

10. yes, she counted for nothing (as is the case for most women) from his viewpoint

He is a sadist who gets off on humiliating others....btw, her husband was African-American.
I believe Ms. Carroll, but I do wish that she had gone public prior to the 2016 election, rather than waiting until her book came out.
It could have made a huge difference at that point in time.

4. He usually only rapes his type?

I still cannot believe this man was elected president.

5. Well...

he wasn't elected, he cheated and it was pretty obviously blatant yet he's squatting in the Oval Office.

7. It's probably happened so often he can't remember who they are

As for 'type,' he marries the vulnerable ones who can't leave (him/the country) and assaults the independent powerful ones

[imanamerican63]

6. "He wasn't her type", because she fought back!

He is a pathetic weasel, who thinks he controls everything around him!

[renate]

8. What a despicable turd

It’s not about type, it’s about power and control and humiliation.

He is so gross.

[58Sunliner]

9. Yep. He is not even human at this point. Just a loathsome pile of feces.

[dlk]

11. The Poser President...

[RobinA]

12. Ya, But

he thinks rape is about sex. To him, sex is power, but, nuanced guy that he is, he never looks past the sex part. He's a giant id with an orange roof.

[dlk]

13. That's Why Rape Isn't Really About Sex

It’s the vehicle to assert power and control by abusing someone in a very personal way. It’s not about pleasure, other than a sadistic pleasure in harming and causing pain to someone else. It takes a twisted mind...

14. The bad part

The bad part here is that most people probably believe it. Trump is a despicable human being. He thinks nothing of stealing, lying, and groping women. It is not hard to believe that he is guilty of all sorts of things. This is just another part of his horrible life.

15. "And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything."

Never forget this is what the creep said.

[BKDem]

16. Trump is a pig.

Full stop.

[Marcuse]

17. "Too ugly to rape"was Ratko Mladic's defense during the Bosnian War.

20. Rape is not about liking someone

It is about having sex when the rapist wants it.
