I toyed with the idea of asking you how you would feel if it happened to your daughter but thought it would be in poor taste.

You went there, but you are from an age where that kind of thing was just what men did.

Trumps attitude to women during the campaign was less than glorious Ivor.

[-Talbot-]

"The march is an important way to protest against the normalisation of Donald Trump and the politics of hate and misogyny which swirl around him."



Just in case anyone wanted the full quote.

[mikey4444]

Trump also made a distinct off-colour remark about his own daughter, saying, quite openly that if it wasn't his daughter, he would date her.

Breathtakingly crass and offensive.

[-Talbot-]

All depends what goes through your mind when you read that, mikey.

[mikey4444]

Talbot....I will tell you what was going through my mind when Trump said that....how will anybody ever vote for this crass, boorish ignoramus after listening to that.

He has appointed five women to his administration, not a lot but just saying.

[Zacs-Master]

Could be for all sorts of reasons ladyb.

[-Talbot-]

Someone has to make the tea and put out biscuits.

Interesting Zacs. Such as?

Just for some context - that's 5 women out of 31 posts.

Obama's administration was two thirds men.

So it means that the number of women in top Government positions has exactly halved.

Not sure if DT poses the largest threat towards hate and misogyny in the UK.

All depends in what context he said it?

If it was from a proud and loving father, and not in a leering and lecherous way, then I can see no harm in it whatsoever.

Take your pic, AOG.
