Trump, I hate you.

I hate you on different levels and for different reasons. Today was one more. You have made me feel ashamed, guilty, of having any sexual thoughts whatsoever.

In court today. Prosecutors offices and public defenders offices are entry level legal jobs. All of the junior prosecutors and public defenders, male and female, therefore, are bright, accomplished, vivacious, twenty-something professionals. Those are attractive characteristics! Then, since they are trial lawyers they are well-dressed. And, good physical looks are distributed in them in the usual proportion as in the general population. Most are single.

Dating is...common.

In this particular courtroom good looks are distributed in more than the usual proportion. I had only been in this particular courtroom once before and I had forgotten. Two prosecutors and one public defender, all women, are very attractive, "hot" in the patois.

And I noticed. 

I did not leer, I did not ogle, I did not flirt, I did not proposition, I did not even voice my impure thoughts to male colleagues, I simply noticed and thought sexual thoughts. 

And I felt guilty immediately. 

Trump, you have made at least one old guy dressed in a suit ashamed of taking normal sexual "notice" of, and having sexual thoughts about, objectively attractive women. I hate you, Trump.
