If that was true no one would have voted for Roy Moore, how seriously do we really take sexual assault in this country when we elected a president that bragged about it on tape?
Right. Some people who have been accused of rape still manage to achieve popularity for other things. Is that the whole of the evidence that America is fine with rape?

It's evidence that for a very large portion of the population, rape is perfectly acceptable as long as it's done by the right person. I guess I can put Bill Clinton (although I don't call it rape) in here too.

No, I don't think it does mean that. I'd be surprised if very many people at all based their votes on support for Trump's pussy grabbing comments or Clinton's defence of her husband or alleged laughing about getting a child rapist off. They were thinking politically.
-
I don't think they based their vote on it either, bu what happens when you decide to ignore a serious crime like rape or sexual assault just because the attacker is someone charismatic, what kind of culture does that create?
-
Do you think that people voting despite both candidates having been accused of advocating or excusing sexual assault made the general population more tolerant of sexual assault?
-
You can say Hilary excused sexual assault, but that's different from committing sexual assault. And that's not the only example I brought, it's a recurring pattern. I could excuse Roy Moore to some degree because people cared about abortions more.

I don't say this. I don't know if it's true that she got a rapist off and laughed about the victim or not. I was told this by someone who assumed I was American because I was urging Americans to pick her over Trump. Apparently, I was pro rape culture.
