Trump Supporters Criticize MeToo: Women Should Cross Their Legs, Quit Acting Like They Want Somethin

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump traveled to Erie, Pennsylvania to hold yet another MAGA rally.
Rebel HQ, a show on progressive network The Young Turks, showed up too and interviewed Trump supporters about their views on the recent Brett Kavanaugh proceeding and the #HimToo hashtag.
The #HimToo movement is, according to Vox, an “online movement spreading myths about false rape allegations” that gained social media steam during the Kavanaugh proceedings, and reporter Emma Vigeland asked supporters their thoughts.

Asked what she thought about the counterpunch to the #MeToo movement, one female Trump supporter wearing an ‘Adorably Deplorable’ shirt said she “absolutely” supports #HimToo.
“I have four sons and five brothers,” the woman said. “So I want our men protected.”
Another man wearing a red Trump hat agreed that the accusations made against men were a “total leftist thing.”

The most shocking remarks, though, came from still another female Trump supporter who suggested that the real issue was women’s inability to keep their legs crossed and buttoned up.
“I have said it for a long time, women should button their blouse, cross their legs, and quit acting like they want something and then they won’t get it,” the woman wearing a v-neck blouse said.
She then suggested the women assaulted by Harvey Weinstein “knew what they were doing.”

They're deplorable, all right, but in no way "adorable."

This is not a winning argument.
Do they actually think that only Democrats are the rapists / assaulters, and only Republicans are the victims?
Completely absurd - and bizarre.
It's basically their way of saying "fuck you" to the real victims and trying to make martyrs out of the people who commit the crimes in the first place. It's really the adult equivalent of the old playground saying "I know you are, but what am I?".
