2016 Postmortem

(45 posts)28. The Truth
Unless one is super religious or sheltered, most guys have talked about women (they like) sexually, which is normal. They talk about who they want to get with and yes her looks. That is locker room banter. HOWEVER, most guys do not talk about controlling women against their will, or groping them, or grabbing them by their genitals using power/money as influence. Those guys do exist and they are usually predators, sex offenders, molesters, and abusers. That is the difference between men and disgusting/perverse men.
Most hetereosexual men see women as creatures of desire.
Men like Trump see them as objects that they should "conquer" and brag about with other like minded men.

I'll chime in for my cousin who did talk exactly like that- and most of his friends just laughed....

Never said it, never heard it said either. People I know would call it out then and there.

I've said depraved things. I've never been describing my own actions, however, in those terms.
