Once again some are putting the onus on the women to stop men’s behaviour. ”Why did the women hang around and let this happen?” “Why didn’t they just walk out and refuse to go to any other parties?” “Why didn’t they report it to their parents or the police”.
Why didn’t actresses just refuse to meet with Harvey Weinstein? Because they all knew that was what you had to do, to get work, and they didn’t see any way of changing the system.
Why don’t female employees and executives just refuse to go along with workplace harassment? Because they all know that is what you have to do to keep your job, and they didn’t see any way of changing the system.
Why didn’t female students just walk out of parties, report the harassment to their parents and teaches and police? Because they all knew that is what you put up with from men to be accepted, and they didn’t see any way of changing the system.
Why is it always up to the women to stop men’s behaviour?
Sure, some rude behavior, maybe some touching even. But a full on line of guys waiting their turn for a rape?
I have to ask myself what is more plausible:
That this third accusation is accurate and that hundreds of people were aware, men and women, that multiple girls were getting raped by dozens of men on a regular basis and not a single one of them were decent enough of human beings to report a gang rape, or that this story is at best exaggerated or possible made up?
I just don't buy the "rat" defense, high school students, even in the 80s, knew that a gang rape was wrong. You could maybe scare 1 or 2 witnesses into silence, but not hundreds as described.
I'm not saying I know she's making this up, but I can say there are parts of this story that don't add up to me and make me question it.
Some people seem to lack life experience, are completely unaware of the psychology and sociology behind human behavior or just don't want to believe women. Or, if they're not convicted in a court of law, there is no validity to the allegations. Was Bill Clinton convicted? Yet y'all so willingly view him as guilty as charged. And give Trump a pass.
(I lied, I stayed)
If they didn’t know then that’s a different story.
But from the few who have described these parties I’ve goten the impression that this was common and normal and therefore no secret. Maybe I read too much into that, but if that’s true then I stand by my answer.
For the record I haven’t once defended judge K, just stated that there seems to be enough holes in some of the stories to make me ask questions. It seems like some don’t want any questions to be asked, just let mob rule instead.0 -
Jason P said:Gern Blansten said:Jason P said:A few things to consider for those looking with a pair of far right or far left sunglasses ... 1) You would have to be an insane person to have been behind a rape gang in high school and then decide to accept a supreme court nomination knowing the scrutiny you would come under. 2) It would suggest that democratic, republican, and nonpartisan people involved in the vetting process are incompetent beyond logical comprehension to the point they should have their future job applications rejected at Arbys.
This has gone from an alleged sexual assault behind closed doors, to flapping penises in peoples faces in front of multiple witnesses, to being behind an orchestrated gang rape gang in a matter of a few weeks. I'm kind of interested that they delay the nomination a few more weeks to see how this is one-upped.
At least we will have some resemblance of disclosure when Ford testifies tomorrow.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
Name a college administration that has not covered up a rape accusation against a star athlete and I'll call you a liar.

Hey anyone want to gamble? I say he’s our newest Supreme Court judge because the smear is laughable to anyone who knows how the left works.
I’ll bet a PJ shirt, unwashed, unworn. It from early 2000’s I’d say or maybe late 90’s.

So far the only dissent I've seen in this thread is from men who voted for Trump. Real shock. Admonish the women, label it a liberal issue and worry about this man losing his dream job. I can't imagine the limited life experience one has to have to grasp such an unclear understanding of how shit like this has happened and can continue to happen.It's a hopeless situation...0

I've been waiting to give my 2 cents. So here goes.....
I grew up in Bethesda, MD about a mile from Holton-Arms and a few miles from Georgetown Prep. My sister, my step-sister, and a few really good friends went to Holton during the time period that Dr. Ford alleges she was assaulted. I heard multiple stories back then about the parties, the drinking, the drugs, and the "trains" involving the private school crowd.
Neither of my sisters or my friends had that happen to them but they know girls who did.
The boys from Prep and the other nearby all boys private schools were notorious for this behavior then and now. No parents around, school administrators that ignore, friends that lie and cover up, it's not new.
And an overall culture that allows the "boys will be boys" mentality to continue.
Is Judge Kavanaugh guilty? I don't know. But if he is I would not be surprised.0 -
