Trump; A Contrived Puritanical Outrage in a Non-puritanical World.
An article in the Santa Cruz  Sentinel Faith Section was right when it commented how 
the Trump's man speak is a contrived puritanical outrage in a 
non-puritanical world. Set the Puritan Outrage Aside — Here Are Ways You can Actually Help Women As usual such a tact trivializes the real horrors
 that women face in today's world such as  exploitation, drug 
dependence, human trafficking, leading to sexual slavery 
(nothing that can remotely be considered consensual). Today's Democrats 
are acting out to "a couple of crass comments" like "lily-white 
handkerchief swooners". The fact is some women are attracted to rich, 
powerful and/or famous men and offer up their sexuality to be part of 
their lives; talking about it, even in a crass way, does not victimize 
these women as long as these sexual interactions are  consensual (ie 
what these women will let you do...) . However this is far and away 
different from women who, due to poverty, drug abuse,  and/or living in 
oppressive nations, are forced into human trafficking and sexual 
slavery. Let's not trivialized the suffering of these women,  in the  name of nothing more than demonizing a political opponent during an election.
