    I fail to see how "gold-digging," coming from you, would be taken as the use of a pejorative.

    But, hey, Lena Dunham is so ugly, no one wants to sexually assault her, right Ragu?

    Hardy har har. Sexual assault jokes are funny, huh?

    You were victim blaming.

    I'm wondering if you genuinely don't remember all the posts you made on the subject.

    The argument proceeded as follows:

    1. News entities, including Slate and Politico, were stating that Donald Trump "bragged about sexual assault" as an established fact.

    2. In the relevant conversation, Trump stated, "And they let you do it."

    3. "Let you do it" arguably implies consent.

    4. Therefore, it should not be treated as an established fact that Donald Trump "bragged about sexual assault."

    You guys do realize that sexual harassment is more likely to be a less than stellar woman than a beautiful, gorgeous one right? The predators prey on the weak, the ones less likely to report and the mainstream buys into that thinking hook, line and sinker, "hey she's too ugly to be harassed/raped, who would want to harass that?"

    We should be better than that.

    OK, see, you're doing the exact thing you claimed you didn't do. "Let you do it" does not imply consent.

    No, I'm not.

    A. Ragu made the "she's too ugly joke", not me.

    2. In the circles Harvey circulated in, most of the women trying to break into the business are young and beautiful. Harvey's potential victims, even the most vulnerable ones, were likely to be beautiful

    You randomly bolded words. ... and I still didn't say anything close to your nonsense.

    For example, "the orgies he and his friends had with houses filled with hookers"? That wasn't me saying that she was a hooker, for christ's sake. That is factually what came out at Berlusconi's trial! It was me pointing out that this was the same woman who testified against Berlusconi at his trial about the orgies he and his friends had with hookers. She took him down. And now is involved in the Harvey Weinstein story.

    Yes, she *is* the zelig of models who ends up in those kinds of situations.

    Regardless, you are far afield now. This was your post:

    Which is a response to an imaginary post, because you left out the key word - "arguably."

    It completely changes the meaning.

    No, it doesn't.
