Bill Clinton is a rapist, and Hillary threatened those women into silence. If we're talking about fair treatment of women, we can't ignore decades worth of abuse from the Clintons. I don't necessarily support trumps comments, but they're words, not actions.
I don't know; it seems like all the responses to Trump's tape take the form of "I was raped/grabbed by the pussy when I was 11, therefore Trump using the same set of words means he's a rapist."
I just read an article about rape culture. And the women who wrote the article, who claims multiple instances of sexual assault/rape, seems to think that men who brag about bedding women consensually are insulting to her.
It's apparent that Trump has no shortage of women around him, so I don't see his need to try that hard to bed women, even if he's married. But, I could've said the same thing about Bill Clinton.
I've personally said that I would fuck a given woman until 'we both died of de-hydration'. Anyone who takes that literally is assuming that I'm contemplating a murder-suicide (which I'm not). When you're shooting the shit with your good friends and talking big, I wouldn't be so quick to subjecting your words to textual scrutiny.
