I read this today:

It’s now been 26 years since I graduated high school. When I learned this past election season that the man who is now our president had been caught on tape saying, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy,” the full body rage ravaged me all over again. I could imagine my homeroom teacher sitting in the teacher’s lounge, saying, “When they’re 14 and damaged, they’ll let you do anything.” So many women who’d been his students over the course of his 25-year teaching career have shared with me that they went through the same thing with him. And for many of them, it was worse.

I believe my teacher’s behavior was chronic, compulsive and pathological. I believe he and our president are cut from the same cloth. My teacher abused his power and made school feel unsafe. I can only imagine what this kind of leadership will bring to our country.
The woman's teacher was disgusting and should have been fired or worse. Trump's talk was crude, demeaning, and disgusting and typical of what most of us who spent any time in a sports locker room growing up have heard.

So we have huge marches of women and their supporters across the country and written pieces like the one above filling the media.

On the other hand, we had another president who actually assaulted women, had a fling with a 22 year old intern that would have gotten the CEO of any company or corporation fired, lied under oath about it, got caught (forcing many of us answer our daughters' questions about what "oral sex" was at a much younger age than they should have had to ask), and then his spouse attacks those women and says they are all bimbos and unworthy of belief.

How many women's marches and soul-searching articles like the one above did we have to protest that president's conduct?

No parades. No soul-searching articles. Nothing at all. Just crickets from the lefties and women's groups.

As they say, if those people didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.
