PUSSYGRABBIN’
FYI: TRUMP & PENCE BOTH DO IT
Some of you are taking all of this talk of pussygrabbin’ too literally — and while there is certainly a disturbing and literal element at play, that is not the most important take-away from the Trump Tape.
If you are out there trying to define the kind of genitalia that can be grabbed or that you don’t have to be born with that genitalia to be the gender in question — then you are just really getting all up on some totally NO FUCKING DUH points.
YES any crotch items can be grabbed.
YES you can be born with them or not.
YES it is interesting and important to talk about this via gender angles, BUT this discussion goes beyond genitals or gender, and encompasses Trump’s entire campaign.
Pussygrabbin’ is to do whatever you want, without asking, and without considering the feelings of the other person. You treat them as a toy or tool, and if they are not functioning for you as such, they are a problem — disposable. You have no respect for them. Your respect is for your own instincts, desires, feelings or goals.
Talking about pussygrabbin’ is to boast that you do whatever you want, and are not ashamed to treat others like objects — in fact — you are proud of your lack of respect. Your disconnect with humans as thinking, feeling people is something to be envied — admired. It shows POWER. You could be in a “locker room,” behind closed doors, under white sheet costumes — anywhere where values and beliefs have been replaced by shock, hatred, fear, and an animalistic desire for power.
People who refuse or are unable to change, often seek an echo chamber, where they will not be questioned or told they are wrong. Trump’s associates are not true friends, but people kept around by their job, or other promises. He’s got a grab on all of them, so he’s gone a long time without hearing he is wrong. He doesn’t believe he is.
Trump has spoken this way about any number of people — not just women. He has shown an utter lack of disrespect for all kinds of Americans, and people of the world who wish to be Americans or are friends with Americans. If you are not actively admiring and agreeing to his every whim, you are essentially something he plans to control, or total garbage.
He called Mexicans rapists, has indicated that refugees are likely terrorists, has insinuated that even those who are American citizens are potential terrorists if they have certain heritage. He has sided with cops when Black citizens have been unlawfully killed. He has made a real point that if you are not white, there is a good chance you are against “us.” He even headed a birther movement against our own — and first Black — president. He has taken a grab at all of non-white America — he’s grabbed you by your future — making you wonder if you have a place in his America.
And, yes — of course, he has certainly said a whole string of disturbing things specifically about women, to let us know we are in danger of the ol’ pussygrab. After all, there is a certain element of hyper-masculinity to his deal — and the assertion specifically against the value of women or their abilities is absolutely an essential line to draw. Women are good for what he says they are good for.
To make his position of pussygrabbin’ power clear, he threatened to take away our right to make decisions about our own body (I mean come on — is this metaphor just like too boringly spot on or what?), and then threatened “some kind of punishment” if we went against his rules.
He has more than made clear his disregard for the female body over, and over — even if we only count the election cycle. The way he suggested Megyn Kelley had “blood coming out of her wherever” — the way he acted like he thought it was some gross mystery why Sec. Clinton was taking longer than the men to use the restroom during debates (we find out Melania has a separate bathroom — he probably really does have no idea), and in the same press conference says Hillary got “schlonged” — I mean — this was all inside of just 2015. Let’s not relive the whole ugly ordeal.
The thing is, Trump, I believe, is so extreme in his actions and language, especially, due to a personality disorder — so it’s sort of ridiculous to analyze his every word. If you learn the basics about Narcissistic Personality Disorder, you can see that all that he has done, and will continue to do, is part of an uncontrollable, predictable pattern. With this awareness, it’s difficult to blame him for what he cannot help — but we sure as shit can NOT have him as a president. He is a horrible person, even if he can’t help it.
(If you plan to vote for a mentally ill person for president, I don’t know how to help you. If you are having problems with insanity, Hillary Clinton has amazing plans for how to help you. Trump, does not. And I really want you to be able to get easy and affordable access to mental health care.)
But let me be clear — you don’t have to have any kind of disorder to be a pussygrabber. No. The traits that dominate that disorder can be displayed by anyone, really — and a lot of it is about a self-centered world, manipulation, and control. You can just be a terrible person with other issues.
One such person, is Mike Pence. He is a dangerous kind of pussygrabber, because he can control his behavior, and yet chooses to do horrifying things. Pence, like Trump, doesn’t view women as actual humans, but his pussygrabbin’ has come in the form of legislation that prevents women from having control of their bodies and lives. As a man and politician, HE will decide what you do with your pussy.
Mike Pence is a pussygrabber. He’s grabbed at your power, and made you feel like less of a human if you are not straight. His votes have shown he doesn’t think LGBT people should be able to have equal rights at work, serve in the military, or use the public restroom of the gender of which they identify.
Mike Pence believes a straight, white male should decide what everyone else’s body and genitals can do and where they can go. That is a real p-grab, right there.
Pence is only one of many of his kind in the GOP, who paved the way for a man like Trump to rise to the top of this election. They act shocked by him, but have normalized disordered, manipulative, controlling, anti-social behavior in their ranks by trying to demean and control human beings — by propagating evidence-free conspiracy theories — and by defining insanity with repeated attempts at the same investigations with no results — hoping to wear away at the public until they think the investigation itself, is proof enough of guilt (to name just a few tactics).
The GOP has displayed this abhorrent behavior it to the point where a man with a cluster-B personality disorder could waltz in, and instead of raising every red flag they’ve got to fly, he seems like a natural embodiment of all they believe. Now, he’s running for president, and many of the leaders are trying to feign shock that monster they built a special ramp for, and let in the front door is tearing up the place.
Don’t look at us like that. YOU invited this guy. FOR SURE.
Truly, for years, the GOP has grabbed their entire base by the crotch — pressured them to believe in complete lies, and convinced them to vote against their own interests. They were just trying to be sneaky about it.
Trump, however, lacks the ability to filter himself, and has therefore, spilled all of the damn beans. It is a gigantic mess.
Though, that’s what his supporters say they like about him. “he tells it like it is” and that they are “tired of political correctness.” AKA: if Trump grabs pussy, and wants to brag about it, he should just come out and say it. If he wants to grab it, he should.
Trump would agree. But — what these people fail to realize, is he is saying everything on his mind, because he can’t help it. He cannot discern what is ‘okay’ to say or do. He lacks empathy, and therefore can’t imagine how his words or actions might make another person feel.
Trump doesn’t wait for consent, because he doesn’t understand that his existence alone is not consent for him to do what he wants. He can only gauge your reaction once he has said it — and even then he doesn’t feel bad, so much as feel disappointed he didn’t get rave reviews — but hey, you have giant fake tits now, anyhow — who cares about you?
Of course we want a president who is a good role model — someone who respects all genders — but this isn’t just about that. Trump’s pussygrabbin has been dominating the entire election. He has been trying to rally bullies together to support him, and make people feel weak, afraid and powerless. To grab or threaten to grab at their being. To lift himself up, by making others vulnerable.
Beyond that, he has been sending us a strong message about the way he operates — he acts without thinking — without waiting — without fearing consequence — without consent — with no care for the feelings of others. Our presence in the world is far to important to have that personality (disorder) at the helm — grabbing whatever in the world he feels like grabbing — asserting power and instilling fear.
That kind of soulless grabbing is what characterizes dictators — or ISIS (even THEY have some kind of plan). Why would any American wish to emulate that?
Though, I cannot say that I am surprised — I knew the fight to put a lady-boss in the White House, would be messy. I didn’t know it was going to be pussygrabbin’-level messy — but it’s almost as if it couldn’t have been any other way.
The boys would rather totally destroy the gameboard, than lose to a girl. They will shout that it is unfair, to start over, that they weren’t playing yet — and then they will try to make us uncomfortable by pointing out our differences(that they think will be seen as weaknesses), as if to say that because we are women… or Mexican, or Muslim we don’t deserve to win, like they do.
Whether it’s Trump or Pence’s p-grab style, they both want to assert power over others’ vulnerabilities. But, as Hillary has said, there is actually strength in our differences — and while it’s just too literal that female genitals have passively played a part in striking such a deathblow for Trump, as GOP leaders rapidly retract their mild and short-lived endorsements — we are seeing proof that America’s gut instinct is for protection and celebration of our differences — and… dare I say it… progress!
Hillary, unlike Trump, has time and again used inclusive language and written plans that show understanding that we Americans are not all alike — that we have different needs, and that we all deserve to be seen, protected, and given equal rights and opportunities. If anything, she is going to be getting unwelcome hands off of your genitalia.
It seems ‘Make America Great Again’ is hinting at a time when women and people of color were nothing more than obedient property, which, if you are Trump, probably sounds pretty great — because he already does it to the extent he can get away with — it’s just ‘frowned upon,’ if not illegal. He’s saying “let me be my inappropriate, disordered self in public and don’t ever give me a hard time about it — I want to do whatever I want” — unsurprisingly trying to build an America that works specifically for him, Donald Trump, personally.
I, for one, do not want Trump or Pence in any kind of position to be pussygrabbin America, and dragging us backwards.
The active thing you can do to make sure this doesn’t happen, and show you care about the futures and bodies of those of us these men are targeting, is vote for Hillary Clinton on November 8th.
You can stay home, or vote for someone who, if they are not Clinton, is at least not Trump, but that’s like a D-.
You have a chance to get an A in Pussygrabber Prevention. Trust me — it is its own reward.
