Right, the “ambiguity” of 11 different women corroborating in remarkable detail this exact behavior makes me super “uncomfortable”. Look, I get that Adams’ pretense of detached psychoanalysis is a seductive approach. But you’re actually doing exactly what you claim I’m doing.

I see you've abandoned your original evidence in favor of conveniently timed accusations that have since fallen into obscurity.

Actually, I cited both his confession and the 11 corroborative accounts right off the bat. It was you who ignored one and not the other. Should we chalk it up to your confirmation bias? Are you uncomfortable? Motivated by your feelings? (Seriously, anyone can play this game.)

So all it took was an ambiguous statement from Trump and some conveniently timed accusations to make you a holy believer. The issue isn't that I'm claiming it impossible for Trump to have done something wrong. It's that you really badly want to believe that he did.

It’s the opposite: the evidence against Trump is better than it is for, say, most of the men being rightly ostracized in showbiz right now. But you’re grasping at straws trying to find some plausible way to exculpate him. It’s amazing. Want to get into specifics? I’m game.

You're free to have at it. I already know that since you regard the Access Hollywood tape as Trump making a bare admission of sexual assault, your assessment of the evidence isn't exactly reliable.

You know that begs the question, right? “I already know that since your position is one I strongly disagree with, your assessment isn’t reliable.” Happily, the point of analysis is to work *toward* a conclusion, not *from* one. (Is this going to end up a waste of my time?)

Only if that straw man you just presented were my actual position would I be begging the question. Rather, I am recognising the fact that you have read into his statement things that are not there. This bias puts you at a disadvantage.

That’s your conclusion, which you treat as a premise. That’s what question-begging is. And I could play the same game: since you are reading into his statement something that isn’t there (“I wait for permission”) your credibility is diminished. This isn’t how grown-ups argue.

Let’s dive in, because I get the sense that you’ll keep playing evasive games like this as long as I let you. Trump says, “I just start kissing them, I don’t even wait.” What do you suppose it is he’s “not waiting for”, if not permission? Give me a more probable alternative.

I’m curious if you have ever asked permission before kissing a date. How’d that turn out?

I did when I had no experience. It's a bad idea. They hate it, esp. the cute ones. Just move in. The problem with the whole 'consent' thing is that explicit consent is a big turn off for women. Demanding it is an act of courtship sabotage.
