This is Donald Trump being creepy with his 14 year old daughter
This is Marybeth Glenn, a conservative who quit the Republican party after lambasting the men in the party for being misogynistic wimps
This is a really shitty book
This is the link to the article which inspired my Facebook rant
For those of you who consider yourselves conservatives, instead of railing against those of us who can't abide the idea of a raging racist, misogynist xenophobe representing the United States, perhaps you need to read what this lady has to say.
I have very little hope that anyone who is hell-bent on supporting The Rump will change their minds at this point, but when you have people defecting from the Republican party over their support of him, maybe its time to think twice rather than accusing those of us who can't abide his hatred of pretty much everybody and demeaning attitude towards women of being hypocrites for taking his exception to a 60 year old Donald T. Rump saying he would grab a woman "by the pussy," but not railing against a crappy bit of "erotic" fiction, the key word here being fiction.The comparison of The Rump's misogynist remarks to Fifty Shades of How The Hell Does Anyone Find This Sexy isn't tomato-tomahto, it's more tomato-moon rock. The two things aren't even on the same planet, let alone in the same zip code. It isn't an accurate comparison.
Actually, I do find Fifty Shades of Abusive Relationship offensive because it depicts an abusive relationship in a positive light. But that shitty piece of fiction doesn't pose any real kind of threat. It's a book. It isn't going to walk up to a woman and grab her in the privates. It isn't even going to encourage a man to walk up to a woman and grab her in the privates, because it isn't men who are reading that shit. Men--some very misguided, misinformed men, however--take the words of a so called "alpha male" like Donald Trump to heart and think it's okay to treat women like trash. I hate to pull out the old chestnut, but how would you feel if it had been an important woman in your life--your sister, your mother, your daughter--that Trump and his sleazy wingman Billy Bush were chortling about like she was nothing but tits and ass? How can you really abide Trump telling the ever disgusting Howard Stern that it's okay to call his daughter a piece of ass and talking about his daughter like she's a porn performer that he's been masturbating over?
For whoever came up with the WTF idea that Fifty Shades of Gray was an apt comparison to Donald Trump's misogyny, I'm rather offended at the assertion that ALL women just lurrrrve Fifty Shades of Gray and will defend it to the death. I hate that shit. It depicts a really abusive relationship as sexy. It encourages women to give up their agency over an obsession with an abusive man. It's unhealthy as fuck. On top of all that, it's a shitty read. A technical manual is a better read than that garbage.
To wrap up this rant, it isn't the swearing that I care about. Obviously, I use extremely salty language, and I'm not about to stop doing so. However, I'm not bragging about grabbing anybody by the privates or forcing them to kiss me. Also, I can't believe I'm defending an even shittier book than Twilight, but for all it's faults, neither is Fifty Shades of Gray.
I don't want all the hard work that so many women have done to be treated like human beings set back decades by a despicable creep who even talks about his daughter like she's there for the taking sexually. Fifty Shades of Blech isn't even part of the equation. How anybody brought it into the equation in the first place is mind-boggling.
Rant ended.
