(79,266 posts)I don't know who alerted on you, but some people may feel you missed an important point about rape.
A point I made in response to you.
That most rapists don't care about looks.
It is a crime of violence, humiliation, sexual control.
Most men can get or buy consensual sex with women of any appearance they like.
But rapists don't want that, they like the cruelty and terror they instill.
All of that said, from a clinical perspective some rapists and serial killers are looking for a certain appearance.
So their victims tend to look alike.
And in the particular case of the Trump rapes, appearance of the victim does seem to be an issue.
Stormy and EJean Carroll were both attractive blonds. Two of his wives were attractive blonds.
His daughter he lusts after is an attractive blond.
So I think your comment is legit, but it rubbed some women the wrong way for the reason I outlined.
ETA I wanted to add a point that we should consider. For Trump, it may not be about attractiveness per se, but
about APPEARANCE. Trump's mother was an attractive blond and I wonder if his anger at his mother is a core
issue in his rapes and crimes. Many serial killers of women have mother issues, a lot of anger at the women in their life.
