Grope a dope: Trump is on the ropes now

I'm surprised there aren't more celebrities being arrested for sexual assault.

You must've had some extra straw laying around, today.

The idea of perceived authority in a situation like that being as real as legitimate authority? Not at all. There is even legal precedent for it.

No the part about being a star gives you authority over someone. I'm sure the percieved part of the equation would have to stand the reasonable person test.

Being a star may give you referent power over some, but no authority.

Men "welcome" themselves to women like this all the time on live television without permission yet for some reason the big ol' rapist Donald Trump who can't control himself around beautiful women had to wait for Bush to initiate any sort of physical contact between them and didn't even bother to tall her how good she looks.

Okay, why do you think he didn't grab her by the ***** on camera?

I never said celebrity gives you authority, I said it can result in perceived authority. And perceived authority has stood up to legal tests. If the victim perceives authority is being held by their assailant, legitimate or not, then it is a coercive action using that authority.

This is you just delving further in the assumption game to try to find someone guilty of sexual assault with no proof.

Being a star gives you no authority over anyone perceived or otherwise and I would like to see a precendent where it did based on the reasonable person concept,

There may be cases of those being swooned by star-power, but no authority. Folks just want to use the word authority because the torches were getting low and that makes it sound worse.

Is it possible Trump had power over those that he supposedly touched? Yes. Most likely why they consented to let him do it. But the power was referent, not legitimate; which is authority (percieved or otherwise)

You're just trying to play a semantics game. Authority is having power. If one has referent power, then there is going to be a perceived authority. And, whether we call it referent power, perceived authority, what have you, if someone is using that in an aggressive sexual manner it is coercive no matter what you call it. So the semantic back and forth you're engaging in is really irrelevant.

If you disagree, that's fine, but stop being a child by repeating that I didn't answer the question. 

Being a child? Youre the one who doesn't know how to answer a question. Let me break this down.

What I asked was for someone to give me an honest answer of why having the sexual conversation Trump was having makes him unfit for president.

What you then basically said was "because sexual assault is wrong". 

How does that answer my question? My question was not "Why is Trump, a man who has been convicted of sexual assault and been proven to sexually assault women unfit to be president". That's the question you are answering. But the problem is, that's not the question I asked, that's what you're trying to cleverly turn my question into. 

You're answering the question from the standpoint that Trump has sexually assaulted someone which is an intellectually dishonest answer. There's no proof he sexually assaulted anyone nor has he made that claim. So your so called answer does not fit the question.

Call it semantics if you want, but we're not talking the difference between happy and glad here and I would hope you understand that. There is nothing coercive about referent power (but there is about legitimate power "authority") and it is relevant, but yeah; go with just semantics.

I never accused him of being a rapist nor have I suggested grabbing a woman's ***** inappropriately without their consent is rape. You are disagreeing with something I never claimed. 

However, the question stands, why do you think Trump didn't grab her ***** on camera?

I'm wondering this myself.
I think that out of the 50+ (conservatively estimated, as I only kept a list of sexual partners) women I've kissed romantically, I maybe asked 2-3 (which was likely early high school).
I suppose I'm to be considered evil by the majority of the board.
But given the lack in perception of body language displayed by most in discussion of another topic, I have super-powers that have saved me from prosecution.

More on topic....

Trump is a douche.
This will sink him, especially since more of the same will come out.
It's more on public perception, than actual events and ect... (too bad it's not working that way with Clinton)

However.....

》Trump tells nothing but lies ! You can never believe him.

》Trump sexually assaulted a woman. You heard it from his own words.

PICK ONE !

Okay fine you didn't call him a rapist, so let me rephrase..... BECAUSE HE'S NOT A GOD DAMN SEXUAL ASSAULTER. I dunno, just doesn't roll as nicely off the tongue, but it'll do.

There is nothing inherently coercive in any power, only in how it is used. And yes, we are talking about the difference between happy and glad. Authority and power are synonyms, after all.

No, I understand that you're trying to pose the question as if nothing Trump claimed to do is sexual assault. Unfortunately, you're asking a question about a conversation that does describe sexual assault. 

If you're unsatisfied with the answer, it's because you haven't accepted reality yet.

Yes, but one type of power allows me to use coercion while another......


Nevermind, I'm sure you understand the difference, you just have your heels dug in. Continued discussion will prove fruitless. Let's go with semantics; I will keep this fail-proof tactic in mind.

If he has dissociative identity disorder and jerks off, he is a rapist. 

Or something. Someone tried to claim that once.

Alright.

So if anyone else could actually answer my question that'd be great.

No problem. The answer is on page 17 and 18 of the PDF

apparently some demented perverts interpret '***** oneself' completely different logistically.  they feel it necessary to involve blades and such.
