This is the average white American male. He's happy to normalize and even glorify physical and emotional domination, violation, and abuse of everyone that isn't him.
Actually, legitimately curious as to whether this is something that should be reported to a moderator.

It's true though.

It's really not. The amount of White men that would agree with Trump's comments are minority.
So, is that an actionable post? I am not an expert on the rules here to say the least.

While a majority may not agree with them (as a White man, I certainly hope at least that much is true), it's clear that a supermajority of them consider them to be within the range of what's acceptable, since they are preparing to vote for the man who made those comment.

So, all Dems who are voting for Hillary think everything she's done is "within the range of what's acceptable"? I know I'm strongly considering voting for her, but I still think a lot of her stuff she's done is bad.

You don't have to agree with everything someone says or does to decide to vote for that person.

The point is that there are different degrees of bad. Having your priorities upside down in this regard is itself a moral failure.

I see Tony's slipping into the classic Atlas fallacy of assuming that people put thought into how they vote.

Any serious belief in democracy requires a belief that people that people are the best judges of their voting decisions. The "they do not know what they are doing" excuse might be empirically true, but it's morally irrelevant.

Please explain to me why this doesn't fit the bill.

There's rational panicking, and then there's panicking when the poll shows your candidate up by 7.

Trump was leading? After the first debate? And people think he's not going to pull ahead by next month, after weeks of Trump's smear campaign against Clinton which apparently the joke state of WI is so eager to buy into? LOL

Trump will win WI, IA, OH and probably the election. I'm not following this race anymore. Just don't care.

I do this once every few days and feel incredibly stupid afterwards, but it is what it is. Just ignore my posts on the subject, it's not like I bring any brilliant insights to the discussion anyway.

Because masculinity as a concept had led to people bragging about sexual assault and then hiding behind it, therefore calling for its destruction is neither absurd nor ignorant.
