The problem with speaking their truth is that it doesn't align with reality.

I thought the whole episode ended, for better or worse.

But some people don't want to let it go.

Here’s Why White Women Are Abandoning the GOP

Such casual indifference to women’s mistreatment is visible not only in the Republicans’ endorsement of Kavanaugh, but also in the party’s general dismissal of the #MeToo movement and the president’s obvious sympathy for accused men over accusing women.

Since Ford has come forward with her allegations against Kavanaugh, Republicans in Washington have questioned her story because she didn’t speak out sooner. But if the Republican message to women is that they need to speak up, they might not like what they have to say this November.

Married Women May Be Moving Away From The GOP

Women are angry at Trump and his party. And it's not just about Kavanaugh

What a joke. The liberals can’t survive without trying to divide us, it’s the only game they have left

The overwhelming majority of liberal women who believed (or claimed to believe) this woman are just bitter for one reason or another. Real talk... have you ever met a liberal women who isn't bitter, angry or offended about something? Look at the women who showed up to those Kavanaugh protests, they were overwhelmingly fat, unattractive women that no sober man wants to **** in the first place. They're bitter that life has dealt them a bad hand and they intend on making sure everyone within screaming distance knows it.

These people claim that the GOP is losing white conservative women because of this SCOTUS nomination, in reality conservative white women don't want anything to do with these fat, crusty ******* or their fake outrage. Most of the self respecting, attractive and productive women I know relate more to Judge Kavanaugh's wife than any of these pink ***** hat wearing hags.

Note the dramatic spin in that article -- "as he ducked into an elevator" , translation -- 'as he walked into the elevator on his way to go do his job'.
It's always great to hear from an expert on sexual assault, if you didn't report it at the time it didn't happen. Thanks for your tremendous insight, its just so simple to report after an assault.

Feminism has been taken so far past the point of common sense that men are steering clear of that BS.

Bitter that I don't have to be the one to put up with these unstable women?

Dr. Ford, America is on your side. Most of America agrees. When you reduce a person to their physical characteristics, you've lost credibility in your argument. The right doesn't find polls credible unless it's in their favor. Well, America doesn't find your OPINION more credible than a poll.


A majority of Americans don't approve of new Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh and would support an additional investigation into his conduct, according to a new poll commissioned by The Washington Post and ABC News.

The poll found 51 percent of Americans disapprove of Kavanaugh being on the Supreme Court while 41 percent approve. It also found a majority of people believed the Senate Judiciary Committee did not do enough to investigate the allegations of sexual assault by Kavanaugh.

You're throwing around a Washington Post paid for poll as proof when in reality, the polling data is weighted heavily towards Democrats just to get it to 51%.

The last time women went this crazy about polling they ended up crying in the Javits Center.
