In a 1998 BBC interview, Trump, discussing his book The Art of the Comeback, offers yet another way to evaluate women: There are "smart" women, he says — and then there are feminists. Trump wrote in his book that intelligent women play up their femininity on the outside while being "real killers on the inside." In the interview, he describes the “smart” ones in details.

In mid-October, a woman in Madison, Wisconsin, reported a sexual assault to local law enforcement. In her police report, the 20-year-old victim alleged that Alec Cook, a student at the University of Wisconsin, attacked her in his apartment on Oct. 12, strangling her "until she eventually stopped fighting and he took it as permission," according to CBS. Over the course of two hours, Cook raped her again and again.
As it turns out, this woman wasn't Cook's only victim — far from it. After police arrested him, similar stories began trickling in. By any measure, it's sad news — partially because it's not particularly shocking. This snowball effect in sexual assault reporting is a pattern that's become increasingly visible over the past few years — and there are psychological reasons why.

At Wednesday night's debate, though, Donald Trump made one thing plain: He hasn't the faintest idea of what an abortion entails.
Most "late-term abortions" — a colloquial term people commonly use to describe abortions 20 or more weeks into a pregnancy — occur under extreme circumstances in which either the pregnant person's or the fetus' life is in jeopardy.
Such was the devastation Judy Nicastro met when she was pregnant with twins five years ago.
don’t grab her by the brain. don’t grab her by anything. leave her alone. also, don’t turn “grab her by the x” into a thing. no matter how good the intentions

On Wednesday night, 16 Handles, a frozen yogurt retailer, sent an email blast that told its subscribers to "Grab 'em by the fro-yo" apparently referencing the Trump tapes. Twitter users quickly let them know they f*cked up. The 16 Handles team sent an apology email with a reminder for their customers.

Add Khloé Kardashian to the ever-growing list of the women Donald Trump has insulted. On the set of Celebrity Apprentice is 2009, Trump allegedly called Kardashian a "piglet" and fired her without merit. Kardashian has now responded and is taking the high road.

hell to the yes. women across the country are protesting outside Trump buildings with #GOPHandsOffMe and “Pussy Grabs Back.” One woman’s “Trump is trash” sign is particularly good.

Ending sexual assault starts with talking to young men about their role in preventing rape. Michelle Obama addressed this concept in her speech Thursday. But as of right now, only one state has adopted a yes-means-yes form of consent education in high school.

Donald Trump went on the attack Friday afternoon against the women who have accused him of groping and kissing them against their will, suggesting these women were too unattractive for him, adding that they were merely seeking "fame." In the same speech, Trump subtly insulted Hillary Clinton’s appearance.

A newly unearthed recording of Trump on Howard Stern reveals, while discussing Linsday Lohan, the nominee said "deeply troubled" women are "always the best in bed.” Mental health stigma and sexism all rolled into one. The audio comes as Trump's support among women is plummeting. Just look at these numbers.

On Thursday, Donald Trump discredited a People reporter’s story of being sexually assaulted by him by telling the audience to, “Look at her.” He’s implying she’s not attractive enough to be his victim. Sexual assault is not about sex. It’s about power. But that’s exactly why he brought up her looks.

Several women have come forward accusing Trump of sexual assault. The response has been predictable: His supporters have challenged these claims and cast doubt on their timing. Why hadn't they come forward before? The question answers itself.

It could have been an accident ... right? Two days after incriminating audio of her husband saying "grab them by the pussy" was leaked, Melania Trump wore a hot pink blouse with what's known as a "pussy bow" at the neck. We have some theories about what she may have been trying to say.

Hating Donald Trump is now officially a fashion statement. At New York Fashion Week, R13 sent several models down the runway wearing dresses with a pointed message regarding the Republican presidential nominee. And this isn't even the first time a designer has addressed Donald Trump. At Paris' Men's Fashion Week, a model walked the runway wearing a rather startling rubber Trump mask.

Because so much attention is usually placed on what she is wearing, sometimes overshadowing her opinions, we asked badass grandma Baddie Winkle her thoughts on the biggest pop culture trends at the moment.
