Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” Taylor wrote, recalling an alleged exchange with Kelly, who served as Trump’s chief of staff between 2017 and 2019.

      Says less projecting, more rationalizing the creepy behavior of men in her own life, quite possibly towards her directly

        The role of women in upholding patriarchy is a pretty well explored topic, and here we're seeing it live in color.

          Gender norms are mostly policed by members of the same assigned gender, both in men and in women. This entire toxic masculinity and redpill shit isn't because of the ladies as these creeps always claim, it's exclusively about not being bullied by men.

            Well, there is a real extent to which some aspects of toxic masculinity (i.e. masculinity as in amab gender norms) is policed by women, and also a much larger extent to which the inverse is policed by men. In general, it wasn't women forcing women to carry pregnancies to term, to not have agency over their lives, to consider the aging that they have experienced as a devaluation of every type of worth they have, etc. Women did contribute, but it's plainly men who do most of that.

    CW' discussion of CSA, satanic panic, A*erica

    spoiler

    One of the only good things to come out of the Satanic Panic was that researchers who weren't religious freaks started to look in to child abuse as a topic of research. That's when science started to find out that almost all child sexual abuse was committed by family members or close family friends, usually but not exclusively men. Before the assumptions had been that violence was committed by strangers and "that sort of thing" didn't happen in "respectable" families. Well, here's the President of the United States, which is about as "respectable" as it gets.
