What’s your plan to do that roc?

I'm glad you asked Travis. First, communities need to take a more active role in raising children (but especially boys). We all know Hillary Clinton coined the phrase it takes a village! But seriously, it does. We can do that through our churches (probably the most ready-made units for changing behaviors), or through other civic organizations. The key is to enlist experts in child rearing and behavioral predilections like sexual dominance to engage with community leaders and teach them about how the way we raise our boys can greatly diminish or enhance their tendency toward sexual domineering behavior. Then that information is diffused to the general populace from the pulpit or other position of authority. Workshops/public information campaigns/etc. could go a long way. Thanks for giving me the opportunity, even though I suspect you were being snarky.

Snarky has been my overused word this week. Noted. Stopping now.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2017-11-17, 11:50

Oh roc do not beat yourself up look at who you’re talking to here. 99% of the time assuming I’m being snarky is a safe move.

I was just curious because people say “we need to stop this disgusting behavior!” But there’s never substance behind it and really they have no idea how to do that.

Donald Trump said you can grab women, and if you're a star, you can get away with it.

Al Franken is proving him correct.

So, if a scum bag like this guy, brings to light shit about another scum bag, are we supposed to ignore it?

Frankly, I think this girl, who was assaulted, had motives beyond bringing a scum bag to justice. I think she might have engaged in some of the same behavior that, if roles were reversed, it would, and should be considered assault. What I won't do is disregard the fact that she was assaulted because she has, allegedly, done some tawdry things herself. If a woman is a stripper on stage, that doesn't give anyone th right to assault her. If a woman is wearing certain clothes, it's the same damn thing. If a woman is acting a certain way, it doesn't give anyone the right to do anything to her at all.

Have you demanded Trump's resignations because of the complaints lodged against him?

Has Trump called for an investigation on himself for pussy grabbing, walking through dressing rooms with minors in stages of undress?

Franken screwed up and will pay the price which is at least no third term for the 66 year old Senator. What he did in the photo was wrong and the woman's account shouldn't be discounted.

That doesn't make questioning the timing of the release of the photo from the now 44 year old mother of 2 who was married 3-4 years after the photograph was taken any less cogent.

Your idea that you and others should dictate my daughter's medical decisions are twisted but fit in with your respect for one party authoriarian government led by oligarchs.

he should step aside.

As should the 'christian' sexual predator and the child molester in Alabama.

As unfortunate, sad and pathetic as these events are for women and our culture, in general, it does show a few things.

One, that women should be believed.

Two, we need to do a better job of raising children, especially our boys.. to respect and value females.

Finally, that, oddly enough, as miserable as the mainstream media is.. they hold their employees to a higher standard than the Republican party holds their leaders.

The Republican party is in the business of defending sexual predators and child molesters while the mainstream media suspends their employees.

Funny how that works out.
