Familiar Talk On Women, From an Unfamiliar Trump

NY Times ^ | 8/18/2015 | Jason Horowitz

The outspoken scion of the New York real estate developer Fred C. Trump stood on stage in Washington one day in 1992 and told a mostly female crowd of law enforcement agents to lighten up when it came to sexual harassment.

“Professional hypochondriacs,” the speaker said, were making it hard for “men to be themselves” and were turning “every sexy joke of long ago, every flirtation,” into “sexual harassment,” thus ruining “any kind of playfulness and banter. Where has the laughter gone?” As for boorish behavior, the best way to disarm it was with “humor and gentle sarcasm,” or better yet, that “potent weapon” of a “feminine exterior and a will of steel.”

The aversion to political correctness and the dispensing of unorthodox advice were straight from the playbook of Donald J. Trump, the Republican presidential candidate who has made a business, and now the beginnings of a political career, out of over-the-top oratory. But these particular Trumpisms came instead from his older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry.

The traditional media is really losing it over Trump. I wonder when they will write an article contrasting the champion of women’s rights, Hillary, with the actions of her serial rapist husband.

Great post. Obviously, Fred Trump raised his kids to be smart, logical thinkers.

Great article. Lot’s of red meat.

He's quite right. Bantering is fun. I'm a 70 year old female in a chiefly male business. I was a sharp looking blonde from age 20-50...

But put your hands on me....and that's a whole other story.

Wow!
How delightfully refreshing! How deliciously politically incorrect! It's time to do away with the lamestream media and their politically correct nonsense.

(They come down hard on Trump)..... I wonder when the MSM will write an article contrasting Hillary, the self-proclaimed champion of women’s rights, with the actions of her serial rapist husband.

MEMORY LANE---Bill gets lubed in the Oval Office.

VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. There's no business like Clinton business. They smile when they are low....b/c the Clinton show MUST go on.

Hillary's overarching political ambitions were in deep doo-doo when Bill got lewinskied. What to do? Easy. Blame it on conservatives.

Hill went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of
the VRWC." Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred for five years.

Article is written to confuse people into thinking Donald Trump said something when it was his sister. Then it tries to convince you their father made them all into sexists.

Just like they analyzed the effect Bill Clinton’s abusive father had on him. /s

I hope those who read this article note the many conservative aspects disclosed therein. I note in the article that Roy Cohen was Trump’s lawyer for a time. Does anyone know if Michael Cohen is a relative of Roy Cohen?

That’s really digging.

I was asked to post this by another Freeper.

FWIW, it was a lot more fun when folks flirted and didn't get offended by tasteless remarks.

Years ago, (when this nonsense was beginning) Angie Dickenson was asked what she did when she walked by a construction site and guys whistled at her. She said: (paraphrasing) "At my age, say thank you!"

Guys, you can whistle at me, make a tasteless remark for which I will verbally annihilate you, open doors. I won't melt!

I wasn’t criticizing you, Friend. I was calling attention to the media really digging to find stuff about Trump.

My apologies if my awkward wording looked like criticism. :-)
