Donald Trump's "Locker Room Talk"

"You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful-- I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p*ssy. You can do anything". These disturbing words were spoken by our 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump. These words were said in a recently leaked video from 2005 that went viral. This video of Donald Trump has been dismissed as "locker room talk" by himself and his supporters.

Many of his supporters are making fun of the fact that we are mad he said "p*ssy" but, this is not why people are mad. This is not "locker room talk" or "boys will be boys" this is describing sexual assault. He is describing kissing and grabbing women's genitals without their consent, that is sexual assault. Donald Trump has a history of sexually assaulting women so, these are not only words but actions as well.

Donald Trump's ex-wife, Ivana Zelnickova claimed he had raped her and that their divorce was on the grounds of his cruel and inhuman treatment of her, according to a report in the New York Times from December 1990.

Donald Trump's second accusation of sexual assault comes from Jill Harth, he worked with her and her partner on a business deal and was leered at, groped on several occasions and he even attempted rape upon her. Jill withdrew her lawsuit against him but, still stands by these claims.

The third accusation comes from a federal lawsuit by an unnamed "Jane Doe" who claims Trump raped her when she was thirteen back in 1994. She claims that she attended parties with Donald Trump and his friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein is a registered sex offender who is also named as the "billionaire pedophile" and Donald Trump has been heard calling him a "terrific guy". The lawsuit against Trump claims that he tied her to the bed, exposed himself to her and then violently raped her. Jane Doe also claims after the violent attack he threatened her not to tell anyone or her and her family's lives would be ruined.

The fact that Donald Trump can say and do these things only proves the fact that misogyny, inequality and rape culture not only exists but, is prospering.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
