I can see where you are coming from on this Kirk, it's about the moral compass of those casting stones on others alleged behaviour. It's a good point, no matter what you personally think of either of the people mentioned.

I think Miley's behavior is equally reprehensible because as a recording star her sexualized behaviour is going to have an impact on young girls, influencing that this kind of thing is acceptable. And also on young boys, showing them an iconic woman as a sexual object. It is a step too far to act in this way and would have far more impact on the impressionable than some sexual boasting by a fusty old man like Trump. In essence Trump is treating women as sexual objects but Miley is portraying herself as one. Neither should be acceptable.

What I don't understand with regard the allegations about Trump, and indeed with regard other media personalities accused of similar, is why no one came forward when the alleged incident happened. It must in part be down to personalities, age at the time and other factors but it's quite hard to understand why there is so little speaking out. If someone touched me inappropriately, no matter who it was, I'd scream blue murder and possibly break a few fingers. I suppose, as TS so eloquently inferred on another thread with regard some forum members, it's a good thing LT isn't doing anything excitable to Jaxie's tears. There would be hell to pay.
