Context is key. I am not one to excuse Donald Trump for his sexist comments, nor to even say he won't make more. But given the context (referring to more than one person as having a sort of "bloodshot" appearance) I cannot in good faith say that this particular moment was sexist without falling for the attempted media slander. Especially considering Donald Trump is not one to be subtle about his disgusting views.
I'm happy to say Trump is a vile sexist, but I don't think his comments in this very particular isolated instance were referring to Kelly's period. Is it okay if I hold this opinion? Or am I sexist now too?
- it's obvious what he was insinuating. no mental gymnastics necessary
- he has a history of sexist comments that provoked a public shaming just the day before
- insinuating something is not necessarily being subtle
