Chris Jepson: Was it good for you?

I cannot for the life of me understand how Donald Trump’s approach to women serves him well in bed.

Is the literal way Mr. Trump treats (approaches) women a metaphor for how he would “govern” America?

Let’s briefly review what experts (myself) allege women want in life. I’ll quickly dispense with the basics: food, water and shelter. Security, for self and offspring. Those necessities dispensed with, what “life qualities” constitute the good life for a woman? Equality. Respect. Consideration. Loyalty. Opportunity (intellectual, artistic, professional, etc.). Connectedness. Love. Romance. To be desired. Pleasure. Adventure. No doubt others would offer additional qualities and mine are in no particular order as each woman is an individual with different needs & wants.

I am unsure what exactly Mr. Trump offers the women in his life. I’m not including his daughters but even they have been marginalized (sexually objectified) by their father. One of life’s basic necessities is security and if Mr. Trump’s spousal record (thrice married) is indicative, there is no long-term security in being “his” wife.

Forgive me now for what I am about to write (politically incorrect today). Historically speaking, marrying the “right” man has been a time-honored way for women to advance, to achieve security and status. This has been the case for thousands of years. Aligning yourself (through marriage) with the likes of a Mr. Trump is not a new phenomenon. He has that oh, so sexy bulge . . . in his back pocket that obviates his obvious shortcomings.

Be that as it may the question arises based on his behavior and public comments on women, how is it even remotely possible that women (any woman) could or would physically relate to the man?

In 1973, Erica Jong published “Fear of Flying.” The female protagonist rhapsodizes about the possibility of zipless sexual encounters. According to Jong they were zipless because "when you came together, zippers fell away like rose petals, underwear blew off in one breath like dandelion fluff. For the true ultimate zipless A-1 Xxxx, it was necessary that you never got to know the man very well." Jong also said, “And it is rarer than the unicorn. And I have never had one.”

I offer-up Jong’s perspective as a female sexual fantasy of “rose petals” and “dandelion fluff” and “rarer than the unicorn.” Women are, of course, carnal creatures but is Mr. Trump’s sexual approach “the way to zippers [falling] away like rose petals, underwear [blowing] off like dandelion fluff?” I think not.

Donald Trump speaks of freely grabbing women by their genitals, kissing them without permission, treating them, in other words, as disposable pieces of meat to be groped and consumed at will by him. Mr. Trump has for decades denigrated women, mocked their free will and undeniably assaulted their minds and bodies.

When Mr. Trump said “No” to the Oct. 9 debate question of whether or not he had sexually assaulted women, I said to my fellow TV viewers, “You will see Cos-like [Bill Cosby] numbers of women coming forward to call him out for what he is, a lying bully.”

The lack of respect Trump has for women, well, we could spend hours psychoanalyzing his behavior. Suffice it to say, he’s one sick pup.

Mr. Trump would have us — figuratively speaking — fall into bed with him by electing him president. If how he treats women is any indication, the pleasure would be all his.
