ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri Your bringing up Trump is just a way to minimize what Robinson said. You know it and so does everyone else. I was pretty sure she was just pointing out the hypocrisy involved. Of course, I can't say that Greta wasn't attempting to do the same thing. However, what Richmond said is quite different from what Trump said. Richmond said Conway looked familiar on her knees... it's crude and derogatory, but not exactly sexist. Being on your knees can mean a lot of different things, and Richmond didn't say it applied to women everywhere... just her. Even if it probably did mean what everyone thinks it means, it was only about her. Trump said as long as a man has money and power, he can grab women by the pussy whenever he wants. Here, Trump is essentially stating that all women are whores. The generalization is what makes it sexist, not the sexual content. You can call out Richmond for basically calling Conway a slut-- I'm not familiar with her sexual history but it's still probably not the classiest thing in the world to say. But to compare that to calling women everywhere whores who will fuck anyone with fame and money is a stretch. They are both sexist and wrong. There was no attempt by me to make them equal outside of them both being sexist. The OP wasn't about Trump, either. There was no mention of Trump until Lucy brought him up. And, the only reason she did so was minimize what the Democrat said. More sexist or less sexist, doesn't matter. It was sexist, and should be treated as such. The whole "but the other side does it too" defense is stupid and pointless. Lucy has railed against people who use that defense - and rightly so. Apparently, it's only a bad thing when it's not her doing it.
