    And if we’re gonna sit here and moralize what is “potentially” harmful, we can probably land on 90 things that affect a significantly wider portion of the population that we want to preemptively halt from making bad decisions. But instead this is what we are focusing a disproportionate amount of time, focus and energy on (which is really just misplaced anger). Because it’s easier to try to force conformity at best, wipe out at worst (advocates would be happy with either) less than 1% of Americans than it is to fix a problem that affects a more statistically significant population. 
    (Psssst. It’s wipe out)

    Remember, this isn’t about protecting women. 


    Also, I’m sure there are like 100 other things women would love to have dealt with in society before this “issue” is addressed.

    It's a pretty simple issue to solve that has a scientific way to show why it's an issue.  If we weren't so dumb and have to fight about every goddamn thing, we could fix this "issue" and move on pretty damn fast.

    you care so much about it maybe you can. i am not doing your work for you. you have the problem, you explain it to them. we have been through this a million times and i am not getting back into it again. there are bigger issues right now.

    maybe you can investigate hunter biden or hillary again.

    The 15-year-old female on the bottom is being pummelled and groped by a much more powerful male opponent.
    How can any sane, normal person think this is right and proper?

    It may come as no surprise that there is bad faith framing of this story.

    How sick one has to be to defend the sexual assault of any woman, especially a 15-year-old girl.

    No one is doing that.  

    Several things can be true here. Sexual assault is bad and that this is not as straightforward as you (and the "sources" you are providing) are portraying it as.

    then why do you continue to defend trump?

    if you truly cared about women, that is the first thing you would stop. 

    you don't care about women. you only care about having the issue to complain about.

    I do think the cause of Trumper brain smoothing is that they take issue with the world being complex and in order to deal with life and the world being complex, they can only process things as binary, zero sum, and reductive to make things as simple as possible in order to just function.

    And some here claim to care about women and young girls but carry water for a guilty sexual assaulter and nary bats an eye with who that sexual assaulter surrounds himself with. Disgusting.

    Trump's White House UFC headliner accused of assault, forced sex, stalking

    MMA heavyweight Alex Pereira denied the allegations in a deposition earlier this year

    “Warning: This story contains descriptions/graphic details of sexual assault and might affect those who have experienced sexual violence or know someone affected by it.

    Alex Pereira, a prominent mixed martial arts fighter set to headline the U.S. president's 80th birthday UFC event at the White House, is facing allegations of abuse from two women — and it isn't the first time.

    Court records reviewed by CBC News, including depositions, allege the 38-year-old Brazilian UFC fighter engaged in misconduct including assault, forcible confinement, coercive sexual encounters and stalking.

    With Pereira now vying for a championship in a third weight class, many combat sports enthusiasts, including Canadian fans, are expected to tune in to Sunday's fight.

    The allegations, which Pereira denies, were first reported by Maike Backhaus for German broadcaster ARD/WDR. And they come as Donald Trump's administration continues to deal with fallout from the partial release of the Epstein files.

    Epstein survivors and lawmakers have accused the administration of a coverup and not believing the women who say they were trafficked and abused by the sexual predator who was once a close friend of Trump.
