If "this" is supposed to be the reaction Ford is getting, you couldn't be more wrong. Since 99.99% of women who make sexual assault allegations are not doing it for political reasons, 99.99% of women do not experience what Ford is experiencing.
Wrong often it is pure politics that shuts women (and men too) down and people don't want to hear of the abuse to protect the status quo.

Try reading some of the Twitter accounts of #whyIdidntreport.

You will find victims that were shut down to protect the family, the school, the law, the police, the military.

Everyone is always calling the victim a liar to protect something else.

If dr ford would file a complaint, it would be investigated by the local police....why will she not? I mean the left is saying there is no SOL.....so why not?

So she has blown up her life for purely political reasons, any time someone testifies against a high profile individual it’s politics. How about Roy Moore’s accuser, remember the good women of Alabama held a press conference with pitchforks to claim the accuser was lying.

Being the only two girls, they likely came together. In any event, Ms Ford should surely remember if she came alone or with a boy or girl or with a group.
The likely response is that she was in a room or outside

I can't answer that question since I wasn't there

That is why the FBI might be doing an investigation
To actually check out if anyone has memories, memorabilia like diaries (not that far fetched in that era), photos, souvineirs

Doesn’t matter. Teens who drink a lot can easily become alcoholics. Kavanaugh and his buddy, Mark Judge, obviously were drunken rebel rousers in their teen tears. That makes Kavanaugh unfit to be a Supreme Court Judge now. We need people of probity on the highest court on the land. We still do not have the papers from Kavanaugh’s years in the Bush White House. Hmmm... what was he doing during those years,and why are those documents being withheld?

Anita Hill had nothing but her word and there was an FBI investigation

If anything, I would think that this enhances her credibility. I already heard somewhere that she is NOT going to do a book.

Anita Hill has done several books. To me, the fewer books, the more credibility. Or at least donate the proceeds to charity.

Yet, he has been on the second highest court in the United States, and not a single person cared, not even dr ford....
