President Barack Obama and Frank Bruni’s opinion piece<\/a> in The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0remind us that we don’t need to be parents of girls or have a wife to know what’s not acceptable — what pulls all of us down. \u00a0Bruni raises the question: Why do our “leaders” need daughters or wives to know what behaviors around and toward them are wrong? What about all those people with sons? Do they care less?<\/p>\n

I have two sons and a daughter. But if I didn’t have children, I’d still know that what Donald Trump has said about women is despicable. Yes, I am a woman. But my husband can’t recall “locker room” conversations like the one<\/a> Trump had with Billy Bush. And neither can male athletes who refuse<\/a> to be used as an excuse for the inexcusable.<\/p>\n

Perhaps I should be saying, “I have two sons and that makes me worry about Donald Trump becoming a role model as a U.S. president.” But it doesn’t take a daughter, mother, sister, son, father, spouse or any other relative for a person with moral fiber to know that Donald Trump’s insults and demeaning behaviors are beneath us. They lower all boats. \u00a0As President Obama summed<\/a> it up, “You just have to be a decent human being to say ‘that’s not right’.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
