In our time, we are fearful about speaking our minds on almost anything freely. The strict social norm and moral superiority imposed by the 'ultra-sensitive' society forbids offending anyone, otherwise there will be severe personal consequences. What good is free speech if it does not offend anything or anyone. If you can not make a sexual or racial joke fearing about prosecution, there will be no indication of 'true' feelings, everything becomes a cover-up. This morphed reality is shaped by how you say it not by what you say.
Trump says 'grab her by the pussy', in private within the presence of a supposed friend. Had he said it in public that would have been inappropriate by any standards, however, he is saying it within his circle. When that 'trusted' person sneaks the recording out to the media to make extra bucks, everyone is quick to condemn 'poor' Trump as sexist. Not that I like Trump and he is anything but poor, in fact I resent him fundamentally for who he is, and maybe better put who he is not, but my point is not centered around him. The entire media, including the weed lover, Clinton lover, Netanyahu lover aloof Maher who has been joking about sex and women for many years in fact building his whole career on some such jokes, did not even mind accusing Trump as being a women hater and sometimes as sexist. Well which is it ? They are two complete opposites. But it really does not matter, some such words are coined in everyone's mind to be bashing someone without any need or desire to know the real meaning of the words.
Let me push the norms a bit further and actually a lot more for some: You can not say the "N' word - aah but blacks can. I can not as a semi-white immigrant from overseas. I would probably be given more leeway to use the word but still limited. Blacks on the other hand are immune to this word. If they are so sensitive to be offended by that, they admit to be so fragile and vulnerable. Not saying it is not going to solve all the racial problems particularly in cities where blacks disproportionately suffer in the hands of white cops who usually opt to shoot for kill rather than wound or warn. On the other hand, minority privileges will certainly not bring their dignity as a cheap buy-back of the ugly past history of this nation, either.
Colin Powell, who seems to be a 'God fearing' Christian, did not mind spewing lies in front of a very receptive audience at UN to convince everyone to go to war not only on wrong precedence but also on false evidence. I doubt that he even tried to know the truth even to this day.
The real issue, forget about sexism, misogyny, blacks, Jews, or Muslims, the most real common issue is poverty. Those black soldiers whose pride is so easy to wound by a simple word, willingly died for a cause that is arguably worse than slavery, but why ? Because only the poor goes to war to die for serving to the interests of a few multi-national conglomerates and establishment cronies feeding off of this scum.
I am looking at the democratic party presidential candidates, and how each day one goes down and quickly endorses another for some hidden game for his/her own future interests. There is no real ideology, no discussion of tackling the real problems of inequality, health, and poverty in this nation or how we are fucking up the world by putting our noses to geographies that more than eighty percent can not even pinpoint on the world's map. But they are decent! It is as if being the image of a decent Christian is all that is required to paint the eyes of the people. And the sad fact is that the people fall for it. The masses become so senseless, self-centered and awfully dumb that they do not even feel any need to know who is actually currently running in the election. More than ten percent of the public has voted for non-existing, dropped-out candidates. So, here we have millions of bipeds, literally, who have no desire to know the truth as to why they vote who they vote for, and if that person even exists in the race. However, if you tell it like it is, these sleep walkers suddenly wake up and will not flinch shoveling dirt on you to bury you alive.
