To the woman in the Trump Can Grab My P@@@Y Shirt

[rpannier]

This is to/about the woman who attended a Trump Rally Wearing a Homemade Shirt that said Trump Can Grab My Pus..

Madam,
I saw a picture of you wearing a homemade tank top shirt sporting 'Trump Can Grab My Pussy'

This has nothing to do with my political feelings toward your shirt or whether my personal morals have been offended or anything. I don't care about the coarse words he used (though some people may). In fact, I am probably one of the last people to have the right to call you, Trump or anyone else out for lax morals; one because my past is hardly one of high morals and virtue, two, maybe, because I don't belong to the Party of Personal Responsibility as you do and three I don't care what you do or want as long as you and the person your with are okay with

Interestingly enough, your shirt goes to the heart of it and you don't seem to be aware of it:

The first is consent. If your shirt rings true and is not some attempt to just garner attention, then you are saying to Mr Trump that he may touch your genital area. Fine. I don't have a problem with that, as long as you both agree to it, I don't care if Donald Trump walks down off the podium in Cincinnati and tells you how much he loves your shirt and wishes to show his appreciation for your support right there.
I'm not going to watch. But... if that's what you want and it happens... good on you.
Again, you both consented.
Which in the case of these other women it wasn't true. They did not consent. By his very words, he admits that he didn't get consent and he didn't care (still doesn't). He just walked up and started groping them. If you still don't understand why that's a problem, maybe you're missing the concept of power, which Mr Trump enjoys flaunting for the whole world.
If you missed it, Mr Trump clearly says he can go backstage where no other men are because he owns the show. He walks in on them while they are in various states of undress and he thinks that's okay

Second, and this is an issue that doesn't just afflict you or just Trump supporters. It's the idea that you seem to think
because I am okay with it happening to me, no one else should have an issue with it either.
Your shirt is a self-important piece of work designed to denigrate anyone who doesn't share your place in the world.
Again, I'm okay with you agreeing to it (point 1) and not having a problem with it. But that doesn't mean others have to accept it just because in your world everything you think is fine is automatically just peachy keen
I'd be curious, had Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Dick Durbin or Gov Jerry Brown forced themselves upon you and started groping you without your consent would that be okay? Or, would you protest?
And if you did protest, would it be okay for other women (or me) to denigrate you for being whiny when it would be okay with us for these men (or women if it were one) to do so?

TBH, for me, I don't care if he says I groped their pu$$5, grabbed their a$$ or anything else. Do not think of me as a prude. I don't offend easily by those words. But, I think it says something about the individual when they use those words; much the same way when people overuse profane words.
But, this issue really shouldn't be about the middle-school potty mouth Mr Trump posses. It's about the crime he admitted to having committed.
And as I stated in the beginning, your lack of awareness is what your shirt says to me... You missed the whole point and your shirt speaks volumes to that.

1. Well said!

And if I might add?

This woman is oblivious to the fact that her idol would take one look at her, and declare her an old, ugly pig who no man - least of all him - would ever be desperate enough to want. And she'd vote for him anyway - because she's that fuckin' stupid, and that lacking in self-respect.

[rpannier]

11. Thanks Nance

And you may add anything you wish
Thanks again

[Cha]

16. Yeah, she totally missed that part

of trump's persona, even though he's been hurling insults at everyone left and right, who doesn't stand up to his strict inspection.

He must not own any mirrors.

[erronis]

22. He's got lots of mirrors; they're all warped.

I think I've seen them for sale online:

- How to make a blutto into a hulk.
- How to make a dumbshit into a witty riposter.
- How to make a sexual predator into a object of non-disgust
- How to make a loser into a presidential candidate
- How to make a loser into a rebuglican candidate (whoops - too easy and it duplicates the prior one)
- How to make a golden-spoon fed aristocrat into a champion of the underdogs/deplorables (sorry, real dogs)
- How to make a family of misfits, perverts into the wannabe First Family

I'm getting tired. This is the most ridiculous excuse for a human being I have ever seen. And yet there are some that want to worship him. Wonder if there aren't some gift checks in the mail...

[jberryhill]

35. He got this one slightly used

[Neema]

29. The idea of consent was the first thing I thought when I saw that photo, then

the second thing I thought was "boy she's as clueless about herself as he is about himself." If he saw her he'd declare her way too old, way too fat and way too ugly to touch. Not that it's my opinion about her (although given what she did my opinion about her personality isn't too high), but does she really not understand what this guy is all about?

[Initech]

2. That is the textbook definition of "low information voter".

[Richard D]

3. Well said . . .

. . . and brilliant.

Can I share on FB? Many really need to hear and understand this.

[rpannier]

5. of course

thanks

[Spitfire of ATJ]

4. Exactly, his victims didn't feel honored to be good enough to meet his high standards.

[Stubborn]

6. So well put, and written, that I thought this was an article.

Good job!

[malaise]

7. Excellent post

Consent matters

[Ilsa]

8. In a way, her tank top message sounds like

She knows and accepts the accusations against thrump. It's a shame she doesn't know or care how degrading sexual assault and sexual battery are. Shame on her.

[Sophiegirl]

9. Thank you for posting this

I could write a really terrible rant today, but I am too damn angry right now.

I appreciate that you did.

[rpannier]

13. NP

Glad it helped a little

[brer cat]

10. Well done, rpannier!

[rpannier]

12. Thank You Brer Cat

[treestar]

14. she thinks she and hers are immune

safe from it totally. And so she can afford to laugh at victims of it.

[Saphire]

18. She thinks that's the way "real tough,brawny he-men" are

and it excites her. She has no idea what a "real" man is, or how one acts.

[Cha]

15. Wow.. Excellent point, rpannier! This woman thinks she's funny and does not

have one clue why people are so distraught and outraged.

That's exactly what the trumps have been trying to do since he got busted on tape.. distract from his actual sexual assaults by focusing on trying to make light of the word "pussy". For instance when Melania wore that $1000 blouse to the debate called the Pussy Bow.

All the trumps think they're so clever but then she had to plagiarize Michelle Obama's 2008 DNC speech for her 2016 RNC one.. so not clever after all.

Thank you so much.. this is brilliant!

[smirkymonkey]

17. Wonder how these people would have reacted if a bunch of Dem women would

have worn "I'll smoke Bill Clinton's cigar any time!" T-shirts back when the republicans were trying to impeach him?

We never would have heard the end of it.

[greymattermom]

19. How about Bill Cosby?

Can he grab it too?

[Nolimit]

20. I think anything said to this woman would go over her head.

Didn't Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer get love letters and marriage proposals from women? Some 26-year old girl almost married Charles Manson a few years ago. Some people are just too nutty to reason with.

[a la izquierda]

27. Agreed. It's a total waste of time trying to reason with folks like this. nt

[Stonepounder]

21. Absolutely spot on. This OP is a home run. K&R and off to the greatest pages with you!

[IronLionZion]

23. Some of them have admitted that they don't need consent

like Rush Limbaugh who thinks it is a leftist obsession http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028229346

But the vast majority are willfully clueless. They desperately try to claim it's about something or use false equivalence with Beyonce lyrics or the many female comedians who joke about sex.

26. Oh

Bravo!

[forgotmylogin]

28. It is totally a lesson in consent!!

Well said.

I also have a problem with dismissing unwanted sexual advances with the notion that all a woman must do is scream, kick him in the balls, poke him in the eye, whatever, as if no assault would happen if women fought back. While women can and do stop unwanted sexual advances and assault, in many cases, for whatever reason, they don't or can't and they should never be made to feel it's their fault. I've seen too many threads that say, all you have to do is x, y or z and you can stop it. Well, maybe, but not always.

31. As bad as the sexual stuff is, THIS shows the real danger and threat Trump represents ...

32. I would ask her if she wanted the same for her daughters, sisters, mother.

I think not. I know not.

[Jon King]

33. She thinks she is on a reality show

Thats basically it. That lady thinks this is all just one big reality show. Wearing that shirt made her feel like she was a bigger part of it. In her tiny world, she now thinks she has just a little more prestige.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

34. If only she were capable of reading your well-reasoned arguments.

Sadly, these people are beyond reason.

[LeftyMom]

36. It also compounds the disrespect for his wife.

She knows he's gross, but she doesn't need to see strange women wearing homemade t shirts inviting her husband to fingerbang them to add insult to the ongoing injury.

[jonno1]

37. And there you have it...

Trump can take her medical insurance away, shoot her in the middle of the street, and then grab her pussy, and she's fine with it.
