It's becoming the norm to accuse males running for political office of inappropriate touching

[We Never Know]

Why is this becoming the normal thing? Is our politics full of pervs?

I don't mind Trump but he's the only one on record saying if you're popular you can do whatever you want with women, even grab them by the pu$$y.

Our culture is changing at an astonishing pace. A while back, a man that I know pretty well hit me on the rear. Being who I am, that was a great surprise, and I was very conflicted. I went to an older woman and told her about it. She just laughed at me and said that he did not mean anything. I let it pass.

These days, women are demanding to be treated as equals, and I think it will take a while to work that out.

Trump is repulsive in the extreme. I can't imagine how he gets away with what he does.

Yep ... Not just men though. The women can be also.

Why is this becoming the normal thing?

Because it's the latest weapon of mass distraction from the controlled MSM that has been pushed on the masses and so now everyone's indoctrinated. There is usually an ulterior motive in politics. It's ridiculous that people don't notice that the media ignores some important things or barely covers them and then concentrates way too much attention on other things. It's not about left or right politics.

Notice they aren't talking about or exposing child abusers. I for one am sick of the MSM and their pernicious ways. Your grand delusion America and the whole world.

Money and an entitlement attitude that he can do as he pleases. I get the impression that he feels his attention is doing women a favor. A base that does not seem to care about his morality at all and in some cases appear to gather justification from it for their own actions.

I typically just ignore one-off claims like that. It's just hearsay and this instance I find it particularly petty.

What's becoming normal is reporting it.

And that's our president no less.

All that Biden stands accused of is perfectly normal and innocent given the time, place and situation of the occurrences. Must we surrender all sanity to the social justice warriors? Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right ... and I stand pretty far to the left to begin with.

The type-A personalities that seek power positions have higher than average circulating testosterone levels, among other physiological traits. They're not just driven, they're hypersexual. They're "born this way."

Even the female candidates?

Only one?
Connecticut woman says then-Vice President Joe Biden touched her inappropriately at a Greenwich fundraiser in 2009
"Creepy Uncle Joe" has been known for unwanted touching a long time.
However, his bizarre need for unwanted human (especially female) contact
doesn't seem to be a deal breaker for President. It should be about where
he stands on important issues, & what he'd do in office.

That explanation is increasingly not credible. It is much worse in Islamic cultures, where women are blamed for many things that a man does wrong.

And worse yet, many shouldn't even be considered wrong, eg, inspiring lust.

Yep -- though at lower levels than in males. It's produced in the ovaries and adrenals.
The National Institute of Health puts normal female testosterone levels at 30 - 95 ng/dl, though normal levels vary a lot by age. Men average >300.

Aggression, drive, competativeness, &c are multifactoral; influenced by both cultural, neurological and psysiological factors.
Islamic mysogeny is primarily cultural.

In primates, including humans, dominant males typically have much high levels of testosterone, as well as cortisol and other catecholamines, than non dominants. Fire a CEO or displace a dominant baboon and levels can plummet in minutes, with visible effects.

Not a very good source, I know, but you get the idea. I just posted the first one I googled.

I'm a touchy-feely kind of guy, no doubt a byproduct of the influence of my Sicilian wife & family, and it never has posed a problem as far as I know. However, I'm always quite select in when I touch or hug a woman so as to not scare her.

Why is this becoming the normal .

As people will take the accusations as fact with no evidence.

Reporting it at precise times to soil their reputation. If it happened 5 or 10 years ago, why wait?

Joe n' Hillary.

Steamy.......... Hot.......... Saucy.........

Oh...yeaaaaa!

Sing it Chef...

Seems that some here have very much a double standard as Biden is accused of being touchy-feely while Trump has been accused of sexual assault by over 20 women and recorded bragging how he can "grope" and "forcibly kiss" women, but the latter is somehow of lesser importance?

Who has actually claimed that?
I'm sure you wouldn't make it up in order to
deflect from the topic, & make it about Trump.
