“Does what Kavanaugh allegedly did really warrant ANY of this?”

Don’t be absurd. Of course not.

Even I, the least likely 17 year old in America to do something like this in 1967 in fact did do something quite like this (in 1967).

Girls are a steep learning curve. At 17 and at 67. That’s the way of things.

So true, and as a female, I can confidently say that I’ve seen plenty of things women have done to men that are on par with this and nary an eyebrow is raised. I’ll always maintain that women are far worse than men in many capacities when it comes to abusing/ shaming/bullying women.

"Even I, the least likely 17 year old in America to do something like this in 1967 in fact did do something quite like this (in 1967)."

And I will state the oblique opposite. That I did NOTHING like this in the same time period juxtaposed by Ford precisely because - like Kavanaugh - living a life proper is a proper life.

In fact, Ford's confabulation is so much like her contemporary Jennifer Jason Leigh's dénouement in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (Universal Pictures, 1982) that I'm genuinely puzzled why no commentator has made that connection...yet.
