Hide Behind the Poll: Trump Locker Room Talk

[Ban my account ffs!]

Have you engaged in this kind of talk before?  Speak up if you dare!


Personally I can't recall actually taking part in such talk.. though I will admit laughing and giggling at it, especially if I wanted to fit in. 

[LLR]

No (normal 13 year old)

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Absolutely not.

[NeverAgain]

Not in the way he did it. I mean I've said some sh*t, but not close to the disgusting things he's said.

[Joe Republic]

Nope (straight, red-blooded, etc)

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Option 2. Me and my friends only partake in intellectual, high-brow locker room talk.

[Vosem]

Sure, in high school, but it never reached the Trumpy point of explicitly advocating sexual assault and I was 15-17, not 59.

[Slow Learner]

No, and I live in Ardoyne, hardly a metropolitan liberal hub.

[‼realJohnEwards‼]

No. I heard this kind of talk a lot in high school, but I was never the one to join in (awkward, gray asexual)

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The worst I've heard is 'she's hot. I [Inks]ed her', without much elaboration, and the worst I've engaged in is 'she's hot. I'd like to [Inks] her', also without much elaboration.

I have commented on girls' looks - in nonspecific but still implicitly objectifying ways - a few times in the past, including in social settings. I feel awful for that, and over time I've tried to become more conscious of my internalized sexism and committed to eradicating any trace of it. I'm not a good person, but I can become a better one.

However, I have never expressed entitlement to sex or a desire to transgress any moral boundary to obtain it. If that is what most men do, then most men are sh*t and I feel dirty just sharing chromosomes with them.

I gym every other day. Never heard language like it from anyone old enough to grow fuzz on their lip. Does saying 'I'd sink my dick into that' about a gay guy's glorious ass count? 'Gay on gay' banter is a little different.

This might be the most Tony post ever

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

I would never comment about a female like that, and I viciously shame everyone who does obviously

I'm genuinely not sure if you mean it as a compliment or an insult.

[kyc0705]

You'd figure that kind of talk would peak among teenagers, but as someone currently in high school, I can say that I've never heard a conversation in a locker room which was remotely close to what was on the tape.

Oh, compliment, of course!

[Ban my account ffs!]

Obviously the type of stuff I heard was in high school and while vulgar and objectifying (of women), it still implied consent. 

That is much different than Donald saying "I'm a star, I can do it and get away with it"... has he not noticed the seeming uptick in falling stars lately?  (Probably an artifact of more cameras but just go along with this for my implication)

[Illiniwek]

I have joked around using language that is horrid and I would never dream of using in mixed company, but I have never genuinely meant anything near as awful as what trump was saying.

[Bacon King]

The worst I've ever done was probably in my fraternity days when everyone would boast about sexual exploits but nothing Trump-esque. I can think of only one guy who talked like that and everyone else just rolled their eyes and shook their head at him

[Crumpets]

No. The worst I can remember were some conversations in high school about who were the hottest girls in each grade and what *ahem* "features" lead us to that determination. It generally made me very uncomfortable, especially since I was dating someone from another school at the time, so I usually just fell back on saying my close female friends were "cute" and left it at that.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Option #3; I've talked about women's appearances with my brother, my best friend, etc. Who hasn't? But I have only once heard someone say something along the lines of what Trump said about physically engaging them, and that was my (as of two weeks ago) former roommate who I mentioned in the Update. Mind you, he was accused of rape in London.

[Xing]

I've certainly been in the presence of other guys talking about girls' looks, and I'll admit that I've commented on what I find attractive. I've never said or personally heard anything close to being as awful as what Trump said.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Worth noting that I'm actually more accustomed to discussing pretty women with lesbian or bi women than with other men.
