His "Look at her" comment about Stoynoff is giving me the most visceral reaction. Trump's implication that if you're not pretty enough then you're unrape-able.
When I was raped seven years ago, the guy was someone I thought was extremely attractive and I was actually thirsty to hook up and he thought it was hilarious how thirsty I was. I doubt he was complaining, but I'm the one who desperately wanted to, and I also wasn't feeling very pretty. Anyway, we got to my place and he got pretty rough with me and also he was about to fuck me without protection. That's when I wanted to stop, but I realized my options were giving him a condom or have unprotected sex. I gave him the condom and after he put it on I told him I wanted to stop. He told me I don't get to tell him to stop, since I'm the one who brought him here to fuck me so now I was gonna have to let him fuck me. I think he was hate-fucking me at that point. And I can definitely imagine him thinking he did me a favor by doing that to me. Hell, it takes everything I've got not to believe it myself. So the "Look at her" line, it bothers me on a gut level in a way that the other victim-blaming bullshit doesn't even begin to approach.

Ugh. I'm SO sorry you had to go through that. :-(((
And yes, that "Look at her" comment is incredibly offensive in every way. Rape is about power, NOT about what a woman looks like. What an asinine thing to say.
