"Vulgar" doesn't really capture the sexual assault association that comes with that phrase. The description "completely unacceptable" is a better one than "vulgar" IMHO.

BBC uses the term "obscene," FWIW. Tomato/tomahto IMO. The context of the remark wasn't sexual assault. Some people drop F-bombs in private conversations and that word is obscene, too.

The gist of the message was "if you are famous then you can do what you want with pretty women, even grab them by their *******. You won't get in trouble if you're famous." (this is not an exact quote).

How is the context of the remark not sexual assault?

I provided a link to the transcript. Why misrepresent what he said with an inexact quote? The context is what it is - try reading it.

Sorry... finishing up some work and getting kids to bed. Posting quickly in between a bunch of stuff. Was his actual quote a lot better than I remembered it?

I don't know about better, but it was braggadocio about women's response to his famousness - an "I'm so sexy" speech about women letting him do anything up to and including.
