I was in long relationships and didn't date much. I Googled whether women wanted to be asked to be kissed. Google it yourself to see what I found.
By the way Trump has been married three times, with these lengths:
- Ivana Zelníčková (m. 1977–92)
- Marla Maples (m. 1993–99)
- Melania Knauss (m. 2005)
seems better than most people's marriages. I don't know how I read "rape culture" and "silence denotes consent" but under the rules that women state they want, men are in a difficult position. For example, women will prefer that they try for a kiss and to reject them. Does that mean a woman always has to be on guard and ready to reject anyone, in any context, all the time?
As a man I don't have to constantly be on guard that some girl will grab my junk or try to kiss me, at any moment, in any context, and be ready to formulate a quick yet diplomatic rejection on a moment's notice, perhaps after being techhnically sexually assaulted (in that I didn't want the unwanted touching). Whereas it seems to me that what women state they want is that situation. Or they've internalized it and normalized it.
I personally don't like hookup culture and dating culture whatsoever, and think serious relationships are a lot saner and easier. But I have to play by the rules other people set up. Which are stupid.
The percentage of women voting for Trump is not low.[1]
"According to exit polls, 53 percent of white women voted for Donald Trump".
To take an example that women do not state they want, they (obviously) do not want to be roofied or date raped (and men don't want to do it either -- I have no idea who possibly could be doing all that roofying, I can't imagine that I've ever talked to any man anywhere who would do it. It goes sooooo far beyond what is normal.) But could you imagine Bill Cosby (who has been accused of literally date-raping or roofying multiple women) would run for any office and be voted for, by anyone?
So that 53% of women is very strong. (Especially given that Trump had no political background, and was a republican; both of which speak against many people voting for him, on those grounds alone.)
One thing that I will say is, that after Googling how women like to be approached, kissed, etc, and ignoring anything not literally written by a woman, I would say there is a strong culture, as expressed by women, encouraging the behavior Trump self-reported.
As a man it's not my place to tell women what they should report wanting; that's feminists' job. At the moment they're not doing well at it. As suggested at the top, please Google whether women (in their own words) want to be asked to be kissed, and compare it with the behavior Trump self-reports. Compare this also with the women who have spoken out against his behavior.
