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'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
