Discussion: FLOTUS: Women Who Make Sex Abuse Allegations Should 'Show The Evidence'

It should be.

This is the old Patriarchal Talking Point that "If the girl/woman doesn’t have multiple, evident bruises and/or broken bones, then she didn’t fight back and thus “was asking for it” so it’s all her fault.

What do you expect from a 3rd trophy wife that Trump picked out of a catalog (and still has the box she came in so as to ship her back to the manufacturer and trade-up to a “newer” model if he wants.)

“really hard evidence”

Is this a joke?

Quite true. There’s still a part of me that hopes she get’s her emergency payoffs from him in real money, and that if the happy day comes that Trump is imprisoned and broke, she will have some offshore accounts to call her own.
I wouldn’t enjoy seeing her doing 1 (900) ads on late night tv.

Is there anyone here that will waste time watching an interview of this vapid woman? I have better things to do with my time. I’ve blocked out that time for cleaning my toilet, which will do more to contribute to the world’s well-being than anything Melania does or says. She’s toxic.

No, she doesn’t. She never has.

And now she has ditched the pith helmet for typical colonial attire for an afternoon drink at the club, sitting in a rattan chair, fanned and served by people of colour who are kept to subservient roles.

Excuse me while I vomit.

Maybe Barron will. He seems to be the only person who’s possibly connected with her in a meaningful way.

Hey buddy, she keeps at least two or three people employed just with her mascara usage!

God bless the #jobcreators!!!

I dunno. I don’t think the testosterone-fueled mobs are any more rational. I hope humanity isn’t doomed!

With all due respect, the only hard evidence in most sex assault cases is the unfortunate victim. The FLOTUS needs to get a clue. Woefully ignorant.

You are far more kindhearted than I am.

And, you know, also men, not just women.”

We need to listen when powerful men who have been getting away with harassment and sexual abuse since they were in HS categorically deny that anything whatsoever happened. And put the entire burden on women to have made calendar entries and taken hair and fabric samples and told their parents and dozens of friends when they were 15 years old so that those old shitty lawyers Orrin Hatch and John Cornyn would have satisfactory corroboration. And evidence.

Says the woman who refuses to release information on how she allegedly “legally immigrated” to the U.S.

Not my president, not my FLOTUS.

I usually just skim read reviews to see what lame answers some folks give. I’m kind of interested in this just to see if she’s as out of it as I feel she is. A really interesting interview of her would be if Obama did it. Just because the few times they’ve been around each other she seemed relaxed. He might be able to get her to spill some beans.

It’s like a dystopian ‘Man in the High Castle’ — except instead of wearing swastikas, they just have an ® in front of their names.

I’ve been holding out on having an opinion on the First Lady. I have one now.
