FYI - Apparently the photo was taken in 1987, whereas the alleged, and again I say alleged incident took place in 1994 or 1995.

E. Jean Carroll's narrative of the Trump encounter - DIRECTIONS: Scroll down about half-way down to the paragraph, "Which brings me to..." just above the pic of what appears to be an old TV appearance. Just below that, start at the paragraph that begins with, "And I say to No. 20...":

Perspective Needed -- Feminism's Lie: Denying Reality About Sexual Power And Rape
[community.seattletimes.nwsource.com]
Camille Paglia:
"Running to mommy and daddy or the campus grievance committee is unworthy of strong women. Posting lists of guilty men in the toilet is cowardly, infantile stuff."
"A woman going to a fraternity party is walking into Testosterone Flats, full of prickly cacti and blazing guns. If she goes, she should be armed with resolute alertness. She should arrive with girlfriends and leave with them. A girl who lets herself get dead drunk at a fraternity party is a fool. A girl who goes upstairs alone with a brother at a fraternity party is an idiot. Feminists call this ``blaming the victim.'' I call it common sense."
"The only solution to date rape is female self-awareness and self-control. A woman's No. 1 line of defense against rape is herself. When a real rape occurs, she should report it to the police. Complaining to college committees because the courts ``take too long'' is ridiculous."

The entire Q&A, which I, Loner, encourage listening to in its entirety(1 hour):

Jordan Peterson:
“But here’s the comical part. This just made me laugh, man. What were the five categories of most desirable male entity used most broadly in female pornography? It’s so embarrassing. Women you have to cover your heads while I say this:
“Vampire, werewolf, BILLIONAIRE, surgeon, and pirate.”

To have any opinion worth a damn you have to read Ms. Carroll's account of what happened. It doesn't take long if you know where to start.
You'll have to read the entire Paglia article(5 minutes?).
The Peterson excerpt is only 3 minutes or so.

What does Ms. Carroll say in the piece referenced above? "Do I attract hideous men? Possibly." She's also a writer. And it seems to me that she is inclined to seek or make good stories. I sure didn't want to read all of the blather in the piece, and I didn't. But a little below "hideous" I did read a bit about No. 15 and wonder, is she setting these guys up? Note No. 15's comment, "You're smart", and her response, "Thank you!", coupled with her earlier perception, 'gravel-voiced Moonves apparently takes one look at me — a 50-something journalist in a pair of old brown-and-beige oxfords — and his life is no longer his own.'

But, back to Trump. So, she's bantering back and forth with Billionaire about who's going to be trying on lingerie as they make their way back to a fitting room in an area of Bergdorf's with no other people ANYWHERE to be seen, and NO ALARM BELLS go off? BULLSHIT! Her following comment, "...and as I write this, I am staggered by my stupidity." Well, I'm staggered(not really) at her hubris. This woman knows exactly what she is doing!! Disagree? So, I guess you would argue that after all of the other experiences that she has had she can't put WHAT together? Nope! I ain't buyin' it! And sure, Trump has 200 lawyers. But Gloria Allred was already in full swing in the mid-90's. So that dog don't hunt. To argue that adequate options do not exist to mount an assault prosecution is a LIE! Certainly going forward reporting a crime years after it is committed should throw a shadow over the accusation, if not discrediting it altogether. This is the 21st century people. If a crime has been committed, step up now or shut up forever. Handle it!
