Perhaps you should read all of the post, before flying off into a tizzy.
Here is your entire post (#9 in this thread):
Quote:And all of the sudden; anonymous hearsay, about an account that we have little details on; and happened about 40 years ago, is evidence. For some, it sometimes appears, that evidence and reason is heavily dependent on what narrative the wish to tell.Emphasis mine.
You are speaking directly about Christine Ford, the woman who has come out and said what Kavanaugh did to her 40 years ago. That is largely in keeping with the point of this thread topic. It is about Kavanaugh and his accuser.
Clearly YOU have an issue with this particular woman coming out decades after an incident and saying something. If you didn't, you wouldn't have felt compelled to preface that paragraph with "And all of the sudden". You aren't in her corner. You aren't saying she was right to come out. You say nothing of the sort. Your paragraph above does NOT in any way show any sort of support for the claim she's making. In fact, you're really complaining about what she did.
The part I bolded is misogynistic in its very nature because for a number of posts now, I have made comparisons about how evidently, to some people it's this horrible thing for a woman to come out and talk about sexual abuse from decades ago. but when hundreds of men come forward with claims of sexual abuse by priests, which is also decades old, those same people bitching about Kavanaugh's accuser, are okay with taking the men's claims at face value. You refuse to address this. You don't dare say the same thing about the men that you said about Kavanaugh's accuser. Instead, you try to strawman and blameshift your way out of it by saying that I'm not understanding what you're saying. I know exactly what you're saying and I see right through it.
Was your first post in this thread about those men? Of course not. I brought it up as a comparison because you were essentially shaming this woman for how long it took her to speak up. You refuse to acknowledge any of that. So clearly, you have double standards. Your silence on the matter of the men waiting decades until they reported, speaks volumes.
And your continued refusal to at least read what I've said about such comparison, leads me to believe that you strongly support those men and the lengthy amount of time it took for them to step forward and say something but to hell with Kavanaugh's accuser. She's a woman and she should have reported it right away because she must have some sort of agenda to have waited until now. That is the narrative that you are speaking of, amirite? I like how you didn't give an explanation of what that narrative was. Gave yourself plenty of room to back peddle in case someone caught you shaming this woman.
