Trump doesn't belong to this #metoo category.

His "they let you grab them by their pussy" comment that spawned the pussyhat protests was taken out of context and if that sounds too incredible to be true- what context could there possibly be- let me tell you about that context.

In a city where I lived, I knew some very rich single men. Through them, I learned that there was, in that city at that time, a network of professional golddiggers who swapped personal info and tips of their targets- rich men. They weren't prostitutes; they were beautiful single women apparently looking for love, with rich men.

The golddiggers would share things like bars and restaurants these men would frequent, people they associated with, events they might be going to including private parties and more also intimate details - the rich men's interests (aside from beautiful women), what pissed them off, the highly personalized Dos and Don'ts of being good company for some specific man.

The men were quite aware that anywhere they went, there might be a golddigger who had planted herself there. They were never safe and they knew it.

I knew one guy who, when he went out to a bar, always had his lawyer with him and before the lawyer would let him take a woman home, would literally force her to sign an agreement for intimacy... sex ...basically. This was long before #metoo .

In this hunted and hunter landscape there came also to exist "parties" which were nothing more than a sort of neutral meeting event where, in the guise of say an art opening or a charity, the rich men and the golddiggers would both attend and sort of do this dangerous dance of flirting and chatting and getting to know each other.

Some of the men were stupid enough to be looking for their diamond in the rough- a hooker with a heart of gold. The women were available. It was a competition between the women to a degree and a war of a kind, or a game of strategy, between the men and the women.

(Today this is more formalized and systematicized with sugardaddy websites where young women with unservicable student loan debt can go and meet the rich men who saddle them with that debt.)

This is the venue you have to have in mind when Trump was talking about grabbing their pussies. Note that, very specifically, he never said HE grabbed their pussies, he said it is possible, they will let you, grab their pussies.

What he's recounting is almost certainly the same thing I knew about. A venue where golddiggers are completely shameless and that kind of thing can and does go down, under the design and with the consent of all parties.

When I listened to the Hollywood Access tape, what I heared in Trump's voice was a certain kind of incredulity which has been worn to the bone or a kind of worldly matter-of-fact-ism about the norms prevailing in this scene. It's just the way it is in this microworld, I heard him tell Billy Bragg.

Well, that's completely factually accurate.

Of course the po' folk in the media, and their target audience, know nothing about the existence of this world and its goings-ons. They're never been invited; they're not beautiful; they're just in the dark.

I get the President of the United States is not supposed to utter the word "pussy" because, as President, he's the representatitive of our nation's most formal and public ideals, and the word "pussy" is not invited.

What kills me is to listen to the moral cluckcluckclucking of the left wing media establishment and the blue-haried SJWs and academics, all of whom belong to the class of alternative, polyamorous with s&m vinyl in their closets, safewords and 14-inch strapons. These are the same people who call prostitutes "sexworkers" and author long, sympathetic articles about "virtuous pedophiles".
