Grabbing

Note on language and usage upcoming.

Though Trump is a vile misogynist and has committed most likely many sexual assaults, the phrase โ€œgrab โ€™em by the pussyโ€ doesnโ€™t mean what many people think it means.

It is not referring to physically grabbing a woman by her genitals. It is sales speak and it is used in the same context as โ€œThat ad campaign really grabbed them!โ€ What Trump was ineptly referring to is that in his view to get a woman to do what you want, you have to stimulate her prurient urges and not her intellect.

I am not defending Trump. He admitted to sexual assault of another type in the same damn statement. I just like understanding things fully. It pisses people off, I know, but I just canโ€™t seem to stop.

And this is your friendly neighborhood language maven, signing off.
