I came across this video today in my Facebook feed and I'm captivated.
It's an ardent defense of Trump from a millennial woman (Tomi Lahren is 24), which is not his demographic. It's also a blatant and honest articulation of thoughts that, I would venture to guess, a lot of us have.
Don't get me wrong. I think there are quite a few points that Tomi misses (the one about leaders being people we can admire and modeling positive character traits is only one), but she raises a point. Is anyone really surprised that some men think/talk like that? Donald Trump was unfortunate enough to be recorded and then run for president. I'm sure there are plenty of others currently disavowing Trump that use similar language.
One moral of the story is: if you're going to talk this way, don't do it while wearing a microphone.
Meanwhile, the feminist in me takes issue with how common these words have become.
