Last week, when a video emerged of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump bragging to the TV personality Billy Bush about sexually predatory advances on women, Americans put on their most shocked faces. Such lewd talk of adultery and nasty behavior coming from a presidential candidate’s mouth! Trump crossed a line, and he did little to walk it back when he dismissed the controversy as a “distraction” and and overreaction to “locker room banter.” Prominent Republicans scrambled to retract their endorsements.
Playwright Dario Fo, who died in Milan, Italy, today (Oct. 13) at age 90, was many things. An actor, a singer, a writer, a public intellectual, a political activist, an anti-fascist, a failed architect, a stage director, a designer, a painter. He was a grateful husband and partner, who never failed to acknowledge the instrumental role his wife, playwright, actress, and feminist activist Franca Rame, played in his achievements. He was a father. He was an enthusiastic man who described himself and his life as ”extraordinarily lucky.”

The video surfaced by the Washington Post, in which Donald Trump and television host Billy Bush discuss women in the most vile way is both horrifying and completely unsurprising. Women and their bodies are treated like objects: “she’s now got the big phony tits and everything” […] “nice legs, huh?” “oh, that’s good legs.” We’ve heard this from Trump before, but what’s new is the outright predation: “I’ve gotta use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her.”

You’ve been there: a bowl of salsa, guacamole, or some other type of dip sits on a party table right next to crackers and tortilla chips. You want some, but can’t help wondering: have the other people at the party been double dipping?

“I have a tremendous income. And the reason I say that is not in a braggadocious way,” said Donald Trump last night (Sept. 26), during the first US presidential debate.
Last night (Sept. 26) the first presidential debate of 2016 was also the first gender balanced debate in history: for the very first time, a woman was on the stage, and the way the debate unfolded—with Donald Trump interrupting Hillary Clinton 51 times, and being openly sexist towards her—was a tangible reminder that never before women had come this close to leading the US.
There is a unwritten rule in presidential debates—and general conversation—that people should not interrupt each other. All too often in professional situations, men interrupt women.
