In reply to the discussion: DU Men, please enlighten us. What makes men like Donald Trump treat women with such [View all]MicaelS
(8,747 posts)13. Because they see women as...
Purely an object for their visual and sexual gratification. They don't see women as people with their own feelings, thoughts and needs. They look at women as trophies. Literally. Trump is wealthy enough that he doesn't think he has to take no for an answer.
And much of it is immaturity. They never grew out of adolescence, when the only thing that matters to many young males is "getting lots of p...."
pardon the vulgarity). And boasting about their sexual activity as if it were a scoreboard. Not caring anything about the girls. It starts young, too. I remember one guy back in 7th grade (age 12-13). All he could talk about was that "he was not getting enough p....". He would say this in front of his "girlfriend".
