It is not just talk and it is not acceptable

For Those That Are Justifying Donald Trump’s “Locker Room Talk”
Boing Boing

Sign on to Facebook and you are bound to see some video, article, or image related to Donald Trump and his “locker room talk.” I am beyond astonished that so many people are justifying what was said. The fact that everyone is ignoring that he said “just kiss. I don’t even wait” or said “Grab them by the pu**y.” This ladies and gentlemen equates to sexual assault and the fact that people are justifying this and saying that there is nothing wrong with this is astonishing and sickening.

So many people are saying that they’ve heard worst, that it isn't a big deal. Others are saying that what Donald Trump said doesn't matter because Bill Clinton is the rapist not Trump. So many justifications and so little respect. If you justify what Donald Trump said you are either in love with him, stupid, or simply don’t understand the concept of sexual assault. No one in their right mind can justify what Donald Trump said, it is in no way okay and it is in no way okay to still support a man who states that he just "grabs the by the pu**y" because he is wealthy.

As a woman, as a human being I am repulsed by him and I am repulsed by all those who still support him and are using this for attention. So many women are sexually assaulted on a daily basis and we are simply sending the message that if the abuser is wealthy it does not constitute assault, it is justifiable.

As a society we need to stop justifying what people like Donald Trump do and say. We need to start standing up and have to realize that anything like what Donald Trump said is more than wrong, it cannot be justified, and it cannot be praised.

If you justify what he said, you are just as bad as him, even worse. Don't cry out when others start expressing themselves in the same manner and don't try to say others are rapists when you justify Donald Trump.

Because Donald Trump's "locker room talk" is just like saying "boys will be boys" and simply intensifies rape culture.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
