Of course not.


I do but fully believe that the guys might not.have thought they were raping anyone. I dont believe the implied intent behind that phrasing but absolutely believe that they had parties where girls were gotten drunk and tossed around.


To add to this...I think this is what makes us so uncomfortable about this. We dont feel in our guts it is fair to punish someone for something bad they didn't know they were doing


OMFG.

I can't even believe you think a guy doesn't know he's raping a girl when he STOOD IN LINE TO HAVE SEX WITH HER.


I grew up in the moco private school circuit. I think this behavior is despicable. I also think, based on my knowledge of these kind of guys, my personal knowledge of them, that they could have gotten drunk at a party and one guy say she is into it and gone along not thinking they did anything wrong.

I think this is a difficult and natural consequence of the metoo movement. Things guys did that guys who think they're nice did in their past that they don't realize were heinous.

I'm not defending them, I'm pointing out how insidious and endemic this mentality is. It has altered the way I view a lot of my high school experience and I think of myself as a very forward thinking feminist.

No. It’s to show how much CRAP the liberals are throwing at Judge Kavanaugh. Ludicrous.

In fact I thought he might be more moderate than other options and maybe that was good.

But to me it seems these women who have come forward have a lot to lose, and are getting hit pretty hard. I don’t see much that they have to gain vs what they are losing/risking. What is the Kavanaugh explanation for their motives? And please let’s not hear the mistaken identity or ‘twilight zone’ nonsense.

I find it unlikely they have all been recruited as part of some liberal conspiracy that somehow found women who grew up in Bethesda in the 80’s and convinced them to lie ‘for the good of the party.’ Do people really think these women are conspiring against him and lying because they feel so strongly about the Supreme Court that they are willing to drag themselves and their families through this? Or do people think they are being paid off by pelosi or something, or what??

When I hear the ‘Democrats are ruining this guy’s reputation’.
Does this mean you believe the women who came forward are part of a democratic conspiracy? That Democrats are paying them off? What exactly does that mean?

Seems like, outside of some pretty strange conspiracy theories, and coupled with the evidence of his own friends and yearbook accounts of partying and drinking - their stories are pretty plausible. Why would he brag in his yearbook about sleeping with Renata and then now claim he was a virgin? Even if he was just posturing then why doesn’t he admit that now and apologize?

I get that people are mad, but shouldn’t you be mad at the poor vetting that got this heavy drinking/heavy spending/ bad friends guy this far? I’m not a fan of pelosi/Feinstein, but I don’t really get how this is their fault?


Thank you for these comments DP. You hit it on the nail. In fact, what you have just said here is exactly why Republicans are going to loose in the midterms and in 2020.

Yes, but look: this distinction seems to confuse people today, on this thread, right now. I don’t want to say it was acceptable in 1980 or whenever, but we were nowhere near as evolved as we are now (and again, many of us, cough cough, aren’t evolved at all, from Democratic women stomping their feet that someone even has the audacity to say they’ve been assaulted to men who think if she’s had sex once she’s good to go.)

Republicans will do anything to smear women who speak out about rape/sexual assault/harassment. Sad!

When it is a party that the younger high schoolers have crashed. Maybe it was recent GP grads home for break who had the party - she was at Montgomery College apparently at the time.


Way to blame the victim. College students do hang out with high schoolers from time to time.


Yeah, I was HS class of '83, my brother was '80, we used to go to some of the same parties.


That at least makes sense. You ran in the same circles. Where did this person come from? Nobody knows who she is.


"Nobody"? Where do you get that?



That’s weird. How about when you were in college? Did you attend the same parties are your brother? Even in high school, the older girls never hung around the freshmen boys.


Even more so in college.

Nothing matters. Kavanaugh will be a Supreme Court justice by the end of next week. Hasta la vista Roe v. Wade.

She didn’t include this on her resume. The part about her working for this company were scrubbed from media accounts of her story.
And, Katz was her attorney.

Strange? You bet.

How is an anonymous letter to a republican senator “liberal crap”?

Yep! The GOP hates women, which is why they put a sexual harasser and now a sexual assaulter on SCOTUS. Shame!

Pretty much. That’s tacky. And despicable, but the GOP is basically a group of cads.

No it isn’t! I don’t list the job I was sexually harassed and filed a complaint either.

You are using common sense and reason. I hope the SJC (Republicans and Democrats) follow your example tomorrow

Cads?! Not really the first name that come to mind.
