Justin Trudeau again defends himself against groping allegation

Every time a liberal male declares himself a “feminist “ it turns out they are hiding a misogynist past. Unfortunately, it appears Trudeau was no different.

I think in this case (and some, but certainly not all others) the better term is sexist than misogynist. The Merriam-Webster dictionary has a simple, and rightfully damning definition of mysogyny: Hatred of women. Sexism, on the other hand, has two definitions in that same dictionary: 1) prejudice or discrimination based on sex;  especially : discrimination against women, and 2) behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex. Both mysogyny and sexism should be decried by society and its leaders.

In that story he was also quoted as saying "I would not have been so forward" had he known she was a reporter.

That sounds dirt-baggish. Regardless of profession, he was wrong in groping her.

Usually when I read a poster use 'every time' or extremist terms like that I assume that poster is either a binary thinker showing limited scope, oversimplifying an issue to appeal to an intellectually vulnerable audience, or is just flat-out flaming. By using 'misogynist', it's clearly flaming - for an intellectually vulnerable audience

In these days of #MeToo, there is no such thing as alleged; Trudeau is guilty. He needs to do the right thing and resign as Canada's leader immediately.
