[quote=FlyerInHi]I caught up with the Trump surrogates. They’re are arguing that the way Trump talks about women is normal. The “elites” have outdated notions and are disrespecting the average American….[/quote]Actually, they’re correct. Most of us boomer females (along with senior females in the WWII generation) were used to hearing “locker room talk” from males, especially if we heard conversations in which they felt no one was listening. We KNEW from a young age that men called the shots in life and went along to get along at our jobs so we could keep them. We didn’t let leering men or their rude remarks affect us in any way, shape or form. H@ll, I was even approached by jeering pimps in Lincoln Continentals while out jogging in SD numerous times over a period of years! I just ran away from the road and went about my business. But this didn’t stop happening until the SDPD Vice Squad got a handle on the problem. (I never filed any complaints.) I’ve had several workplaces in the past which today would be considered “hotbeds of ongoing sexual harassment.” That’s the way it was then and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
Even Arianne Zuckor, the Days of Our Lives actor (a Gen X) whom some of Trumps comments on the bus were directed to stated today that she is not taking it personally and “isn’t surprised.”
I’ve posted here recently that women professionals in the entertainment industry were/are routinely exposed to language like Trump’s/Billy Bush’s and just let it roll off their backs. They understood the “lay of the land” before even entering the profession.
It doesn’t make these comments “right,” but we didn’t whine and scream sexual harassment for mere comments or males brushing up against us at work. We told them to bug off if we felt like it … yes, even if they were a “manager.” Methinks a big reason for “hostile work environments” today are due to whiny millennial females who routinely file false sexual harassment claims over comments they overhear. All their male co-workers have to walk on eggshells around them as long as they work alongside them.
Frankly, I’m tired of hearing about all these “bimbo eruptions” that the Clinton Campaign has recently dug up. These women have had up to 34 years to come forward to “complain” about the way Trump treated them but did not choose to do so until the Clinton campaign dug them out of the archives and made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. I don’t consider any of them “victims,” ESPecially the now 74-year-old former “beauty queen” who claimed she was once groped while Trump’s seat-mate on a commercial flight 34 years ago, lol …..
