We'll see if you make the same boorish comments when you're older, married, and have a daughter of your own. Your view of these comments will change dramatically when you have some context.
My gf doesn't need a stranger on the internet to speak for her.

My comments would certainly hurt my professional life, but they were said privately and done in the spirit of blowing off steam. Everyone has a different level of blowing off steam due to their values and environment, and I'm a filthy, disgusting scumbag when I do it. It hasn't poisoned any of my personal or professional relationships and it won't be changing.

I don't doubt Trump has done horrible things to women, but worse than Bill? Worse than what Hillary has done to silence those women? I think it ends up a wash and don't think it really matters. When I look at the influence of a president and the scales of morality they effect: war, oppression of nations, global economics, etc. I don't see vulgar comments budging those scales in either direction.
