Donald Trump (click here) barged in on Miss Teen USA contestants while they were
changing clothes, and engaged in “creepy” dressing room banter with the
girls — some as young as 15, according to a report.
At least four women told Buzzfeed that the mogul
— who owned the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants from
1996 until last year — nonchalantly strolled into their dressing room
during the 1997 pageant.
“I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh
my God, there’s a man in here!’” former Miss Vermont Teen USA Mariah
Billado told the site about the alleged 1997 incident.
The Donald, she recalled, responded, saying something like: “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”...
Often the participants in the dressing rooms other than Miss Universe included young women less than 18 years of age.
Enough.
This cannot be tolerated in leadership. This is not marital issues, this is being content with his wife on his arm while satisfying his ego driven PRIVILEGED status. These young women were made to tolerate a man walking through their dressing room while preparing for the runway to win their pageant and potential scholarships and status that would win them careers. They were compromised in remaining silent about such sexual exploitation.
His locker room boy talk is one thing, but, to have it backed up by the actual acts of compromising young women's privacy is all that is needed to understand. His locker room boy talk was real.
Where the women were 18 and older that is still no excuse for Donald Trump's behavior. The women did not enter into an agreement that allows the owner of the beauty pageant special status to gawk at their bodies. These women were seeking status and more; they weren't looking for a chance to be Trump's other woman.
How many women today that have taken part in the pageants when Donald Trump was owner can be considered damaged goods? How many will receive cold shoulders to their careers because they were gawked at by Trump? How many will be expected to be compromised as they were with Trump? This is an outrage and for any man to simply look the other way because power in the White House will be more advantageous under Trump is typical of old white men that laugh at women in their alarm and abuse.
I think Newt Gingrich has had as many marrages as Donald Trump, hasn't he?"
Fascinated with sex" would require a person to seek details beyond what was volunteered by Mr. Trump. In other words, "tell me more." It was Donald Trump that insisted the details be known. It didn't take much prodding either.
Accusing Megan Kelly of being fascinated with sex is nothing short of sexism. Somehow Newt Gingrich can have all the details, but, a powerful woman brings up the subject and she is off balance from her first words regarding the FACTS known to the public.
Typical.
It proves how under educated a person such as Newt Gingrich is about women's issues. He doesn't even understand the definition of sexism, discrimination and oppression. All these years in the public eye and he knows nothing about his own behaviors and belief and what is known about them. There are definitions regarding his behaviors that are identifiable as victimizing. Such behaviors are identified regularly by women's shelters to empower a battered woman.
All those behaviors are forms of abuse.
