Whether we like it or not.

Donald Trump took his frequent habit of describing himself as a “protector” of women further on Wednesday night in Wisconsin, when he declared he would protect them “whether the women like it or not” if he wins a second term in the White House.

“I said, ‘Well, I’m going to do it, whether the women like it or not,’” Trump said. “I’m going to protect them.”

Of course he did. That’s how he thinks of women. The best ones are hotties he wants to grab by the pussy and the worst ones tell us what a loathsome lump of flesh he is. Either way we’re not independent humans, we’re just things men get to use and boss around and punish.

Trump told the rally crowd on Wednesday that his advisers had been counseling him against describing himself as a “protector” for women.

“They said, ‘Sir, I just think it’s inappropriate for you to say.’ I pay these guys a lot of money; can you believe it?” Trump said.

Yes, you dolt. They’re telling you to stop talking about women as if we were children, because it’s insulting.

Trump began talking about himself as a “protector of women” at a rally in September, when he said, “I am your protector. I want to be your protector. As president, I have to be your protector. I hope you don’t make too much of it. I hope the fake news doesn’t go, ‘Oh, he wants to be their protector.’ Well, I am. As president, I have to be your protector.”

In other words you’re telling us we’re defective and need your “protection.”

We’re not; we don’t.
