Well, according to some women, he was not just a philanderer but a molester.

I think thereās a huge difference between the creepiness of stating on TV that you hope your baby daughter grows up to have her momās breasts and legs and the ultra-creepiness of suggesting that you want to fuck a one year old. Trumpās creepy enough to objectify his daughter, but I donāt think anyone had been suggesting that he was lusting after a baby (until now).
That could be true also. But the photo labeling him a āmisogynistā in the comment above shows him standing next to Monica Lewinsky, who claimed the affair she had with Clinton was consensual.
Even if Bill Clinton was/is a misogynist in his private life, Iām pretty sure he never went on national TV to say how heād probably be dating Chelsea if he wasnāt already married to her mother.

Yes, that is true.
I think the issue around Bill in this campaign is that Hillary played a big role in hushing up women who came forward with claims that her husband molested them, not just in her personal life, but had a role in publicly silencing them.

Just as it is sexual harassment to objectify those you work with Iād say the same can be said of the sexual objectification of family members. Of course you are right in that sexually harrasing a child is not pedophilla per se so please excuse my imprecise use of the term pedo creeper in what was simply an off hand post written as light admonishment to those who are defending this creep.
I donāt think that accusing someone on the board of being a pedophile counts as ālight admonishmentā.

Really?
As I said, pedo creeper is an imprecise term. Trump actually didnāt express that he wanted to have sex with his baby daughter. He only sexually objectified her which is technically not pedophila. And he only publicly expressed his desire to have sex with his other daughter when she was too old for him to be called a pedophile.
As for the rest of it, yeah that was light admonishment. Much worse could and probably should be said about people who want to normalize the act of sexually objectifying children but I definitely wonāt call them pedophiles any more.
No. Pedo, if you didnāt realize, is short for āpedophileā. You were explicitly calling people on this board, and Trump, pedophiles. Thatās not a term to just toss around ignorantly and then say āha ha just admonishing you lolā. Itās not an āimprecise termā.
Iām glad you learned something today.

Iāve been meaning to watch this. I think Lewinsky got a bad deal in all of that. She was, what 21 years old? I feel bad for her that people treated her so poorly.

I always had a soft spot for her. I was right around the same age and felt that all the youthful stupid choices I had made were not that far behind me. She just had the bad chance of making her mistakes on a bigger stage. Everyone called her all kinds of awful things just for wanting to believe that she had some kind of sexual soulmate out thereā¦and him taking advantage of that.

Me too. She doesnāt seem like a bad woman at allā¦ just someone caught up in the power dynamics of the president. Iām glad sheās working to move on with her lifeā¦
And letās not forget both Linda Tripp and Ann Coulter in all this, too.

I worked out next to Linda Tripp one day at the gym, right in the middle of the whole mess in the news cycle. It was a surreal. Or dare I say, Trippy?

OMG! Did you glare at her? Although to be fair, she came under fire too, for doing what she thought was the right thingā¦ I canāt imagine that the spotlight was kind to her.

I actually didnāt realize it until after I got off the treadmill and went to get my super plush towel (it was a fancy gym). The person manning the sign in/towel desk pointed it out. THEN I glared. Lol.
