Quote:A lawyer close to the White House said the accusation of attempted rape will not derail Kavanaugh's nomination. "No way, not even a hint of it," he told . "If anything, it's the opposite. If somebody can be brought down by accusations like this, then you, me, every man certainly should be worried. We can all be accused of something."
Every Man should be Worried, says the White House
This is beyond disgusting. Insinuating that women make these accusations just to bring men down, when the facts are actually that the vast majority of women sexually assaulted never even report it, due to fear that she'll be the one ruined.
And in this case, there is some actual evidence to back up her claim. Aside from the fact that she made it some 6 years ago.
Quote:The retired FBI agent who gave Ford a polygraph test in early August confirmed to that Ford's answers indicated "no deception," meaning "she was being truthful" in affirming her allegations against Kavanaugh. A therapist's notes from 2012 also partially corroborate her story.
Men should only be worried if they regularly assault women or defend other men who do. And even then, good news fella's, chances are you'll still get off scott free. Because most people won't believe the woman, and she'll be painted as a lying whore (Or she'll never even make the accusation, but will keep silent in fear and shame). Although there are signs this is finally changing, a little, a tiny bit.
Not yet enough.
