See, I hear what you are saying, and i sympathize with women who were not instilled with a self-worth in their upbringing that made themvome to that conclusion...but I was a kid in the 80s and they told us then 35 years ago that rape is not your fault and always tell. I have a book that I kept for my daughter about how to tell an adult about unwanted touching copyrighted in 1980s.

The lack of feelings of self worth should not be a barrier to the pursuit of justice for a crime. I am sorry, but not sympathetic because by not reporting you let a rapist go free to rape again.

In the case of #metoo where we are lumping groping, power plays, and other nonrape sexual offense, I am even less sympathetic. Truth is no woman had the balls to change jobs or report abuse. Woman was restrained and got away, and waited til June 2018 to tell, give me a break.




And all of that is great words until the guy you broke up with rapes you on your couch. Then reality sets in. You pray you aren't pregnant, you scrub your body so hard in a steaming hot shower trying to get every cell of him off of you, and you hide it.

If you hadn't of broken up with him at your apartment, he wouldn't have raped you.
If you had just slept with him while dating, your first time wouldn't have been with his hands around your neck or over your mouth.

It is awesome you have never been in this position. Everyone should be like you and not know what rape is like.

But we aren't. And your judgment on how to react is just ignorant bull*****

I was talking with my husband yesterday about how, as a woman, this kind of crap really pissed me off.

People like to say that women are afraid to report rape...if it happened why?? Say something!!!

If women are so strong and hard core and can be warriors or President, why the shrinking violet behavior?

It used to be that if someone came at you with unwanted advances, for example at a party, you ran and told someone who told their older brother and the guy would get beat up and /or become a social outcast for being a slimeball. Social justice would prevail and he would never get a date again.

Now all of a sudden we have women so "affected" by some grabass that they need counseling and 35 years to come forward. F every #metoo woman, I disown you for not reporting these crimes when and if they actually happened and only when socially or politically advantageous. DISOWN! No pity.




Because for many, being raped is something to be ashamed of because you think at the time it is your fault. You did something to make that person rape you and you don't want people to know.


That is why you don't report it.


Ok. So you instead anonymously leak it to a Senator decades later. Who then sits on that letter for months. And then she doesn't even ask about it during her time to question Kavanaugh.

That doesn't sound the slightest bit strange to you?



Since I haven't said anything about this woman or this alleged attack, poor effort.

I think this whole thing is bull**** and makes any Democrat focusing on it look like an idiot.

I'd handle it from there.

Rape is awful, scary, and disgusting. It is a filthy and unfair crime that men disporportionally commit against women. It needs.to.be.reported. You don't know my past or why I feel the way I do. Perhaps I or someone I love was mistreated and regret everyday not reporting the crime when it happened.

I cannot overstate the need to report sexual assault immediately regardless of the familiarity of the assailant, and will talk to my daughter again today because of this post. I cannot change what happened to someone else, but I what I can do is empower my children to respect yourselves and others even if it is a sacrifice.

I'm not sure what effort you are referring to. I was simply trying to get the thread back on topic. Glad you agree how stupid this is.

I can't help but feel that Feinstein did this reluctantly, knowing she will certainly experience backlash. I hope it's so severe her Senate career doesn't recover.

New low.

Feinstein is one of the more reasonable Dems. She came out a while back and said there was no Russia evidence. I recall there was another issue where she, although a dem, was more objective and I recall thinking how I respect that. I know she is very anti-gun, but she's not as looney as the other Dems.

I'm surprised she is the one bringing this up actually. I think someone must have had some leverage on her. The story I heard was it somehow leaked and she was forced to acknowledge it.

My initial feeling as well.
She was pressured. I can't help but feel she knew it was a hollow, desperate shot. All the more reason she needs to suffer the fallout from an obvious, empty smear.

Feinstein is at risk of losing her seat to a much more progressive movement. My guess is this is her way of reaching out to them to avoid getting primaried

Why didn't Feinstein ask these questions while he was UNDER OATH last week?

It seems like they need to update their playbook for these so that step one is a question under oath in the hearing and later the accusation.
Good question. She has had the info all summer
I'll tell you why. Because the Anita Hill approach backfired. I watched those hearings for Justice Thomas. Having her there testifying, although dramatic, didn't move the needle. As a woman in the legal biz back then, it was like, "You couldn't handle that piddly ass crap? Really?" Harassment meant something altogether different back then.

I remember these hearings. Was my first exposure to Long Dong Silver

The problem with Ms. Hill's feigned outrage was that she kept following Thomas from job to job. Couldn't have been that bad. At one stop she was with him in the freakin' EEOC. And then years later complained about harassment? What was her job at the EEOC about in the first place?

Never passed the smell test.

So IOW the check from the DNC cleared and now all of a sudden she's absolutely sure it was Kavanaugh but isn't it a shame she never told anyone and no one can corroborate her story from 40 years ago.

This will be the standard liberal tactic from now on.

Pay out enough cash until you find a good liberal soldier willing to come forward and accuse them of witchcraft....er rape

We'll see if this really impacts the nomination. I doubt it will.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6173799/I-thought-inadvertently-kill-Brett-Kavanaugh-accuser-goes-public-story.html
Quote:
Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who wrote the letter accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, is going public with her story, saying she thought he might kill her.

'I thought he might inadvertently kill me,' said Ford, now a 51-year-old research psychologist in northern California, to The Washington Post. 'He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.'

Ford said she was able to escape when Kavanaugh's classmate at Georgetown Preparatory School, Mark Judge, jumped on top of them and sent them tumbling.

Quote:
She told the newspaper she ran from the room, briefly locked herself in a bathroom and then fled the house where the party was taking place.

Ford described the attack as taking place during the summer in the early 1980s, when Kavanaugh and a friend both 'stumbling drunk,' Ford charges corralled her into a bedroom during a gathering of teenagers at a house in Montgomery County.

In her first public comments on the incident, which came to light last week after Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Dianne Feinstein referred a 'letter' describing a sexual assault to the FBI.

While his friend watched, Ford recounts to The Post, Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes, grinding against and attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it.

She said she tried to scream and he put his hand over her mouth.
Quote:
The classmate said of the allegation, 'I have no recollection of that.'

Ford said she didn't tell anyone about the incident until 2012 when she was in couples therapy with her husband.

She gave portions of the therapist's notes to The Post.

The newspaper notes they do not mention Kavanaugh by name but say she was attacked by students 'from an elitist boys' school' who went on to become 'highly respected and high-ranking members of society in Washington.'

Additional notes show she described a 'rape attempt' in her late teens.
Quote:
She is a registered Democrat.

Beto got his records cleared for DWI and Trespassing as an adult. Kavanaugh was about 17 during this allegation. This is a load of crap. It is a bigger load of crap than those folks who tried to pin the death of a woman on Laura Bush.
