The nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh seemed all but certain a few days ago, until a woman named Christine Blasey Ford came forward accusing him of sexual assault when they were in high school. The alleged crime having taken place decades ago has prompted many to ask: Why did she wait so long?
I can tell you why.
In a word ... Fear
In my freshman year of college, I was the victim of something quite similar, on my 18th birthday. I understand why Dr. Ford remained silent. She was afraid. Afraid that no one would believe her after all, she had been drinking. Fear if it went to court, her sex life would be revealed. Fear she would be judged. Fear her name would be dragged through the mud. And shes not alone.
Rape and sexual assault are the most underreported crimes in our nation. Worldwide, one in three women experience some sexual violence in their lifetime, according to the World Health Organization. Yet it is fear that keeps them from coming forward.

Even in light of the #MeToo movement, only a handful will come forward like Dr. Ford. For the rest, the silence continues.
I am guilty of that silence.
...he is a successful professional in [his]chosen career, it sickened me. I wanted to tell someone. But I didnt. Fear prevented me from picking up the phone.

Because she could’t remember anything about it till George Soros waved $10,000 in her face to “remember”?
Yep
“The dems have these spring-loaded nutcases waiting for their chance to prove their allegiance to the party on a Rolodex.”
I used to think that was a crackpot idea. I don’t think that any more.
Just shut up Leslie
She is CIA, her dad is CIA, her brother works for Fusion GPS (a company that literally makes things up for money)... this is literally deep state against Trump.
DEMOCRATS ARE VILE, EVIL, VICIOUS LIARS!! SHUN THEM ALL!!
Faux News....the gift which keeps on giving.
Really? This is an advocacy guestimation. If this were true, why would any caring parent allow their daughter to attend any co-ed school, university or function without an armed bodyguard!
Place this phrase with estimates for the homeless and those certain projections of the hetrosexual AIDS epidemic.
I suspect it’s because her family thinks she’s lying.
I get sick of this crap. Even in the early 80’s, feminism was in its third decade of cultural ascendency. Women were ‘empowered’ as never before, and yet we are to believe that they still lived in the world of 1750, where any woman who made accusations of sexual assault would not be believed. Suddenly, these supposedly strong, brave women are afraid to report brutal crimes, even though the whole liberal culture was inclined to support them.
Marshall refuses to accept responsibility for her own failure to report sexual assault. It’s amazing and repulsive how these “strong” women portray themselves as helpless children.
I’m a male.
I observed teenage females closely while in high school.
It is very clear that they talk a lot about things in their lives.
I find it very hard to believe a female sexual assault victim doesn’t tell at least one other female of her social group within a short period of time.
I wanna know why NO-ONE is asking why she isn’t filing a police complaint against Judge Kavanaugh. There is no statute of limitations in MD so she can file today. Why? because it’s illegal to file a false police report and she would be prosecuted for it if she did.
Bullcrap to the author.
What are you talking about? Ford alleged that two boys pushed her onto a bed, climbed on top of her, one put his hand over her mouth to stifle her screams, and they tried to get her swimsuit off. They fell off of her, and she left. There was no "repeated, non-consensual sex"; there was no sex at all.
There is no statue of limitations apparently, in MD on rape. She is delusional, and believes it. I like how she referred to Kavanaugh’s school as an “elitist” school. Interesting choice of words, perhaps written by a socialist lawyer?
She also talked like a stupid teenager, not someone with two master degrees and a doctorate. Didn’t understand the world “exculpatory”.
I’ll tell you... they’re both nutzo.
So?
Thanks for the information I can’t read it right now cuz I’m on my phone and it doesn’nt have word wrap
I remember seeing this in the news. Not Very widespread glad that it was found by the committee
I’ll read it when I get home to my computer
This sad woman that falsely accused the judge needs to find the man that did this to her
Yup
Keep in mind this is written by a leftist social justice Warrior
