Well said......

I think that a simpler explanation is plausible. In moderating a support group for sexual abuse survivors, Ford, as a psychologist in training or in practice, invented a story of her own near-rape as a teen that involved someone who had turned up in the news as a possible Supreme Court pick. This had the added benefit of drawing attention to her privileged background and upbringing in the DC area. Ford later replayed the story in couples therapy as an explanation and excuse for her trying conduct toward her husband. Someone who knew the story then egged her on to send put it forward when Kavanaugh was nominated.

I believe that Dr Ford was assaulted at about the age
of 12 & it was by a trusted family member.

Evidence the childish voice, which she
has learned to use as a defended mechanism.

She ends declarative sentences by raising her
voice as if to ask a question So she can deny
what she has just said

I believe both her mother & father failed to believe her.
Without agreement by her parents
She has repressed the event deeply.
Particularly the person. Remembering all
facts which were none accusatory, like
features in the room.

The rest of the event was free floating.

When pressed for a person, she names
a person whom she wished it to have been

She is a very lonely tortured soul with few close friends.

I find it interesting that the media hasn’t brought on Dr. Phil or other TV psychoanalysts to get their take on this gal or Kavanaugh.

I’m going to crawl out on a limb here and posit that if this incident happened, the ONLY reason Ford went up those stairs was to snuggle with a boy in the bedroom, not to use the bathroom. I don’t know of any two-story houses that do not have bathrooms on the ground floor so there was no logical reason for her to climb those stairs. I believe she went up the stairs expecting a little good time touchy-feely fun. When things started getting out of hand with whatever boy she was with (and I don’t think it was Kavanaugh) she struggled to free herself and fled into the upstairs bathroom. And I suspect she had far more than one beer.

I keep hearing she has a degree in psychology, but not much information on what she actually did or what she has published .
Has any reporters checked the data base of professional journals to see what she has published? most academic professors working at universities are expected to publish to keep their jobs

Did you write this? Excellent analysis.
