You have a serious weakness in reading comprehension. There are more than a dozen posters, which are either euros (which are by US politics thread definition always considered somewhere between far left and communists) or US lefties saying that this discussion about "mess -> sexism" is completelly bullocks. I doubt any of those posters considers doodsmacks posts as sane... And instead of just enjoying it, you do your very best again and again to jump into doodsmacks boat of bullshit posts and help him to steer this thread into the abyss of contentless nonsense this election cycle has become.
and by the time this post was written, probably another few dozen posters have joined the above dozen
e: oh, it calmed down

I don't think bringing up Trump's sexist language and looking at patterns is asinine.
"blood coming out of her wherever"
Let's consider how many people ITT defend this comment. And then realize the issue is worth discussing.

I'm sorry but calling someone who's sweating profusely a mess is not the same as calling someone a mess as a person. To call it trolling is to ignore the pattern.

Let's consider how many people ITT defend this comment. And then realize the issue is worth discussing.
I think the point is that for him to be sexist that his insults need to be streamlined to women, which they arent. He insults everybody pretty much equally.
What is sexist or not is predicated on whether he reserves his insults for women and not men. But he insults everyone pretty equally. So I dont think hes sexist hes just a douchebag with thin skin.
He might well be sexist but his insults and comments are rarely about women in general except that whole "if dinners on the table I go through roof" comment and maybe one or 2 here or there, which is a sexist comment but not not one to read that heavily into it which is one of the more annoying things about the PC brigade.
Most of his attacks have been at "personalities" that got under his skin, irrespective of whether they are men or women. Either way as people have mentioned I dont see why this needs to be debated.

If anything the fact that he allowed himself to fall to that level is a pretty big indictment, most people just ignored it.
I think hes just upset that no one came to save him from the troll (which some people were nice enough to do for that matter).

Well not all insults are created equal. It's about the pattern.
"blood coming out of her wherever" "look at that face, are we serious?"
To name a few. Trump's supporters including xDaunt, oBlade and Templar defend these statements as not sexist. Therefore it's a worthwhile topic.

You are missing the point.
Sexism is prejudice based on someones gender. Its been pretty clear that he wasnt insulting the women in these cases because they were women, he was insulting them because he didnt like them. The point isnt that he isnt an asshole its that at this point there is plenty of evidence that those comments are consistent for everyone regardless of their gender.
Again he may well be sexist, but those comments based on his record are no longer evidence of that fact. If you are talking about patterns. The pattern to me is
Trump gets pissed off -> Trump insults. Thats the only discernible pattern.
And again to make it really really clear because this is the last time I will entertain this. He isnt just insulting women based on their gender. Hes just insulting them and everyone else that gets under his skin. Which is like super easy to do.

Actually we had a whole exchange a while ago in which GGTemplar talked about the sexism in both campaigns and conceded the sexism in Trump's remarks. This topic was actually having some value before you shit it up.

Although I agree that Trump attacks everyone the instant he gets a chance, I’ve never been a huge fan of the “he is horrible to everyone, so he isn’t racist/sexist” argument. It is possible that he is both horrible to everyone and be a horrible sexist asshole at the same time.
But you are right that the comments themselves are not what should convince people. It is the interview about his wives and other stories about how he has treated women. There are plenty of those out there.

If you want to look for evidence of Trump being sexist, you only have to try a little harder than microscopically dissecting how he insults people. There's really no reason to be so attached to this one stupid line of attack.
This discussion is really pointless.

I disagree. Many of his comments towards women are explicitly anti-woman comments, whereas he doesn't make fun of men for being men.
He's a dick towards plenty of groups, but that just means he's sexist towards women and racist towards Hispanics and bigoted towards Muslims, etc. He's a shitty person in general, true, but he's also made very prejudicial statements as well.

The language is different. Different insults are different. That he insults everyone doesn't preclude the possibility he uses different language, by and large, for different genders.

Let me know when he starts using gendered insults like bitch or pussy to describe Republicans who won't get behind him and we'll talk.

It is the interview about his wives and other stories about how he has treated women. There are plenty of those out there.
Well I added that caveat in the edit. I myself think he is both racist as sexist. But I wouldn't present those insults as arguments that he is sexist because in isolation those comments are maybe sexist but he has never really pinpointed anyone's gender as being the reason that he insults them. Nor has he belittled anyone else by using women based demeaning terms. Or maybe I didnt pay enough attention.
As for his racism. He's literally claimed that people are bad by virtue of their race or nationality so there isnt much left to discuss there.
