Dear Donald Trump: Screw you.
Before your presidential candidacy even started, it was clear you did not respect women. From shaming Alicia Machado, a former Miss Universe winner for being "fat", to criticizing Megyn Kelly for being a woman simply because she was doing her job, there's one thing that's obvious: You're a sexist pig.
You're such a pig that you have even made comments about your daughter being a "nice piece of ass". Which is why it shouldn't be a surprise when you openly admitted to thinking you can help yourself to any woman, simply because you're famous, by "grabbing her in the pu***". You then justified your comments by stating it was "just locker room talk between guys" and that "all men talk like that".
Not only are you a sexist pig, but your comment is an attack on women and an insult to sexual assault survivors. Stating that you, as a man, can "take whatever you want" without consent is perpetuating rape culture throughout America, and ignoring the fact that sexual assault survivors are victims that have been violated in one of the worst ways.
In July you stated you supported North Carolina's anti-transgender law banning transgender women from using the women's restrooms because it is not considered "safe", as many expect men to pose as transgender women and sexually assault women.
The ironic thing is, I'm not afraid of being sexually assaulted by someone in a Target bathroom; I'm worried about running into someone with the mentality you portrayed that thinks they can grab me, grope me and touch me wherever they want, and it is justified because according to you, all men think they're entitled to women's bodies.
You prove that rape culture is thriving in America. By stating you can take whatever you want from a woman, you are telling other men that it's okay to take whatever they want from a woman, too- with or without consent.
Your comment is the reason we have men like Brock Turner who rape women behind dumpsters, and the mentality that statements like that are simply "locker room talk" is the reason we have judges that give guilty rapists three-month sentences.
Guess what Trump: Bragging about sexual assault is not a joking matter. Sexual assault is real, and it happens to one out of three women.
My pu*** is not yours, therefore it is not something you can grab at your convenience or pleasure. I am a daughter, a sister, a friend and a person- not an object sitting on your shelf that you can grab whenever you want.
