It is worse than that. Such a woman accuser apparently must be believed, even when another woman, who the accuser identifies as a material fact witness, directly refutes her accusation by saying she was not there and contrary to what the accuser says, the witness has never even met the accused.

There is no logic or reason to this type of thinking. It is pure character assassination and the politics of personal destruction. No honest person who has followed this closely will even try to suggest otherwise.

Hopefully the "work" of this Georgetown "professor" is not typical of either Georgetown University or opposition to Kavanaugh. More to the point, is this "professor" educating students? Who would pay $50,000 a year for this? First the professor's background:

This is a copy of one of her tweets, indeed one of the few that didn't use filtered words not acceptable under the Terms of Service.Link to Tweet (Note, Twitter account subsequently suspended)

Look at thus chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist's arrogated entitlement.
All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes. (Note, Twitter account subsequently suspended)

Is this even within the realm of civil discourse?

The reality is, if you dress a certain way, someone will take that to mean something. If you go certain places, someone will take that to mean something. If you drink a lot, you lose control of yourself, and some will take that to mean something. If you goof around with someone, someone will take that to mean something.
These are all the same excuses men have been using for years to shame and discredit women who come forward. Congratulations, I believe you hit on every single one of them.

There are people who do. not. care. what you think you "should be able to...", they will take advantage.
So basically, what you are saying is, men are pigs, and women who don't understand that have set themselves up to be assaulted. Instead of dealing with the behavior of these misogynists, women should, instead, cover themselves, not drink around men, and make sure the don't ever do anything or say anything that will trigger these men who are otherwise unable to control themselves.

And if they do inadvertently trigger these pigs, it's their own fault if they are raped/assaulted as a result. They should have known better.

I know many decent men. I know of none who fit your description. But perhaps we travel in different circles.

The statistical probability is that Ford is telling the truth.

But I suppose they are all lying, too. Because that's what women do, right?
The only things she remembers is the assault, and that she had at least one beer. She cannot remember anything else, not who was there, where "there" was, what day, month or year it was, nor how she got home.

Basically she cannot remember much of anything, and most of what she does remember is refuted by all the people she claims were there..

There is apparently no lie that leftists will not tell and no smear or slander that is too low-down or despicable for them to commit. How many times have we seen illustrated here in this forum on this same topic over the last few weeks? Too many to easily be counted, that is for sure.

Well, except when the statistics reveal cases where EVERY eye witness the accuser identified, go under oath and deny everything she says.

She was 15.

I'd also like to see the same rigorous attention paid to all the people who testify to Kavanaugh's brutish character.
