Double Standard

I have written before that Hillary Clinton is not my first choice for president but we have two candidates (yes, there are more than that but only two that are possibilities given our electoral system) from which to pick. Neither is  without blemish, but what astonishes me given the most recent revelations is that there hasn't been much outcry over Trump's behavior at his beauty pageants. People all over the country were up in arms about Obama's announcement of gender neutral bathrooms, exclaiming that "...no man can see my daughter naked."  But Trump walks in unannounced and surely unwanted into his teen beauty pageant dressing rooms, timing it to when he knows these barely pubescent girls will be naked, and so far no one is crying foul. These aren't 70 year old women remembering a plane flight from thirty years ago. These are girls who are only 18 now describing events from only three years ago.
