"Don't be a cutie pie", "Relax - Relax", "Shhhh - Just be calm"

I'm a parent of two daughters.

If you have a sister, mother, wife, daughter, granddaughter, niece, or even just a good female friend, how could you justify or excuse someone talking to them like that?

As a father, I know EXACTLY the type of person who talks to women like that.

If I heard someone talking to my daughter like that, I'd punch them in the throat.

We were cultivated to be leaders, to be no less than male counterparts.

None of the graduates I'm aware of would put up with that kind of sh*t from DJT or anyone else. And we would not remain silent.

I depend on others to do that. (in one of my jobs, I am a solo person, which is inexplicable. So, I won't waste time to watch news TV just because its there.)

It was way beyond disgusting. I would pay good money to see someone punch that syphilitic, orange fuckstick in the throat. Or, in his vile cat anus mouth.

He's so attached to being called "President Trump" it will drive him up the wall. When he blows up, read back the words he used to address professional reporters. He'll still bluster, but the point will have been made.
