I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll have to say it again. But it’s worth saying now in response to the above. Libertarianism is to the social sciences what Creationism is to the physical sciences. ---

Lots of sarcasm. But I really do believe that a lot of people believe that the “father/brother/husband will whip his ass” model works, and even if they don’t articulate it to himself, this logic underlays it. It’s why it’s okay to harass “those” women, the ones no man is willing to protect. ---

Hmm, I’ve generally interpreted that as the “women are property” theory. You should respect the man and his wife, sister, daughter. But if you come upon an unowned woman you aren’t constrained by being civil to her owner. ---

> [@asahi](#): > > I guarantee you that the people who are downplaying Trump’s assaults are the same sort of folk who would take the law into their own hands if anyone tried it with their daughters, wives, or sisters. Maybe that’s what they’re really arguing here – liberals are just a bunch of whiny pussies who lack violent tendencies like good Americans. > [@MandaJo](#): > > Also, women worth protecting have a man ready and able to do so informallly.

Well, yeah, of course – respect can only be based on the other person fearing that you or yours will individually harm them if they mess with you, isn’t it? That’s the Trump Way. ---

But if you come upon an unowned woman you aren’t constrained by being civil to her owner. My theory explains why these men so often seem to resent women who don’t meet conventional standards of attractiveness or otherwise are unappealing (introverted or whatever): that’s how women are supposed to protect themselves, and if you aren’t capable of that, you’re unworthy of protection. ---

What a charmer. > **[Trump Jr. joked about Aurora shooting, Arab stereotypes, overweight people in...](https://money.cnn.com/2016/10/17/media/don-jr-on-shock-jock-radio/)** > > Trump Jr. has a history of engaging in controversial conversations with radio shock-jocks, a review of his appearances on various programs by CNN's KFile reveals. And no, this shouldn’t affect anyone’s vote; jr isn’t running. But he’s a piece of work. ---
