Mine certainly did. But I remember the freaking YEAR

Very very vivid memories of a car accident for me..shortly after HS. The accident is crystal clear but I need to think to place it in the correct year.

And it was 30 years ago.

If she remembers she was 15, and it was warm enough to wear a bathing suit, she remembers the year.

Agree. But, it is her word against his. Why do you believe her over him?
Her memory seems to be quite selective here.

Because her story is credible and she has otherwise no reason to open up her life and her family life to the circus that will ensue.

Credible how?

She discussed it with a licensed psychiatrist years ago; she pass a polygraph.

But to delay this process for something that happened 35 years ago without any criminal charges is absurd.

If he did it and lied about it yesterday that is disqualifying.

Because fight or flight and adrenaline rushes. Actual traumas often get vividly imprinted, while the before and after don’t.

Kavanaugh was telling reporters Hillary was having sex with Vince Foster, while leaking for Kenneth Starr. Lunatic or vile piece of sh!t? Going with both.

I was molested by two of my relatives (on separate occasions) - I remember the incidents clearly and can guess my age at that time. But do not remember the year. I know the place because they are my close relatives and I only met them in a certain place - otherwise I do not think I would.

Reading through some of these posts and reminded that A) feelings of jealousy and hatred of men are alive and well by many on this thread and B) victims of sexual assault accusations (not convictions) are incredibly brave to try to defend themselves against their attackers. The way some of the PPs have attacked this man (Kavanaugh) and attempted to discredit and convict him via one woman's accusations of attempted rape and suffocation after 30+ years is really gross.

MRA! MRA! MAGA!

How many victims will it take for you to believe, pp?

PP here. I"m female and not a Trump supporter; but I think it's wrong to accuse, condemn, and "convict" anyone of crimes as serious as attempted rape and suffocation (i.e., murder) based on one person's uncorroborated accusation after 30+ years.

Her accusation is corroborated. There are notes from her therapist on 2012, not to mention the polygraph. She also has a successful and very credible professional and personal track record. But it takes 50 women to corroborate accusations against one man, right?

No, it's not. All you say above is stuff her lawyer claimed. You have no idea if she took a polygraph, let alone passed it. You have no idea if there are notes. You are being TOLD those things, but you have not SEEN PROOF of those things.

Pretty sure that the WP reporter was given proof of all of this. It’s called fact-checking, something you may be unfamiliar with because it isn’t practiced by Fox or Breitbart.

Hahahaha. Tell that to the NYT and Ambassadir Haley

Time seems to slow and the actual traumic event is very memorable. To recreate the timeline can require more thought. What else was happening in your life at that time. You have to remember that and then you can better pin point the time of the event.

I was sexually assaulted by someone I knew. I was 17. I can't remember his name. But I could pick his picture out of our yearbook. I don't remember details about where we were, other than in a parking lot somewhere. I don't remember anything about the date other than the assault at the end. I believe her.

I think it depends on the dirt.

Blackout drinking and being generally stupid, let it lie. Sexually assault (attempted rape is described) a young woman not so much. What is described is not a "youthful indiscretion" and, if true, should not be washed over because it is an old claim.

I have a 13 year old daughter. There is nothing amusing about this anecdote just because it happened 35 years ago.

Never said it was amusing they were all in HS that’s the difference. We make very bad choices in HS, add parties and drinking to the mix and we know what happens. Doesn’t make it ok but I am not going to deny someone due process just because one party can’t figure out how to get the goods on someone without trudging up their childhood. We’re not talking about adults in college.

I had forgotten all of that stuff with the Vince Foster investigation. Kavanaugh is not fit to be on the Supreme Court (or even a federal judge - how did THAT happen?)

Holding a woman down, placing your hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming, and attempting to RAPE her, is more than a "bad choice". I'm not sure what kind of people you spend time with, but you might want to consider better friends. I have three boys in their 20s. They are at least as disgusted by this as I am. I hope you're not raising boys.
