I am a gut-level supporter of Trump, and even as a law-abiding, morality-upholding adult Christian husband and father of four lovely daughters and two handsome sons and grandfather of five wonderful grandchildren, I empathize with him in most of what he does.
As law-abiding, etc., I must and do of course register my uncompromising disapproval of Trump’s various, indeed multifarious, offenses and indiscretions, which I cannot, however, help but compare with those of his opponent’s husband and of the opponent herself as condoner and defender of her husband and accuser and chastiser of his accusers.
In which behavior, she has been and remains a blamer of victims, which makes her an unlikely model for women young and old, or anyone else. Not to mention her much publicized incompetence and venality. She’s a sorry specimen.
I am also upset at Trump. But, remember how the Republicans said that he was not a conservative or republican but a democrat, do they not realize that he said this 11 years ago when he was a democrat?
Also, there were 80 million copies of “50 Shades of Grey” sold and 64% were sold to women. The book has worse language than Trump used. Why did they purchase those books and why the outrage at only Trump and not those who purchased the book?

The standard answer is the others are not running for president, as if Bill Clinton had not.

Yes, level of outrage is not even. Lots of variations. Media, Dems (mostly identical) espouse very high levels (publicly). Grains of salt, please?

Way to Jim! Great sentiment and right on point!
I saw a great Facebook post tonight that summed it up well: “If American women are so outraged at Trump’s use of naughty words, who in the hell bought 80 million copies of ’50 Shades of Grey’?” Finally some sense in the madness…
Hope all is well with you!

Thanks, Tom. And you offer another (astute) reference to “Shades” sales. And the movie?
