trump jr: women who cant handle harassment should teach kindergarten

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.

???

Sarcasm.

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.

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.

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.

And no, this shouldn’t affect anyone’s vote; jr isn’t running. But he’s a piece of work.

I’d say that depends on how far the apple fell from the tree.
