Interesting article, mostly about the drunken "hook up" culture on college campuses and how many feminists have been trying to grossly distort what happens. This is not directly related to the Kavanaugh issues since (I maintain) probably nothing whatsoever occurred between Kavanaugh and Blasey Ford, but the article does raise some interesting points about the extent to which feminist agendas are distorting the understanding of contemporary society.

It won’t stop there. The crime of the future will be “intent”. Even Jimmah Cawtuh would be in big trouble because he lusted in his heart...
Though crime, imagined crime, made-up crime, actual crime - leftists don’t see much difference, just believe the woman.

Maybe in America. It looks to me that Europe, despite its fatal faults, still gets it (at least among white people). As much as I disdain May and Merkel, they've never claimed victim-status as a woman. Probably because of their Parliament system in which they rise from lowly worker to leader instead of being boosted into positions of power from an electorate far removed from power.
How far we've come since Ibsen's groundbreaking, earthshaking “A Doll's House.”

Don’t look, don’t touch. Don’t even think about looking or touching.

George Orwell predicted this in “1984”. The actionable prosecution is based on “thoughtcrime”, even if it is never once voiced. Something in the furtive manner of the perpetrator of such a “thoughtcrime” was reason enough to bring an indictment and almost certain verdict of “Guilty”.

“#BelieveSurvivors”
Are we permitted to be skeptical before it is determined that they are indeed survivors? And then we believe everything they say? No matter what?
Feminists are the best evidence that women are irrational and unfit to participate in the political arena. I did say evidence not proof.

"Feminists are the best evidence that women are irrational"
Nope. Feminists are the best evidence that feminists are irrational."
Reconsider your generalizations.
"...and unfit to participate in the political arena."
Nope. Factor in the 30 million American women who voted for DJT.
Reconsider your conclusions.

The Rape replaced by Regret became the norm on college campuses and in Obamas military. Everyone else is finally catching on.

We continue to ignore that impact of underage drinking on this subject. Schools and parents have given up any attempt to control it.

Took them long enough. The anti-Clinton crown has been playing that card for what 30 years.

Only if it advances their narrative. (see Juanita Broadrick or the ex-girlfriend of Keith Ellis)

There are men who vote democrat as well. Are you going to ban them from voting as well and declare all men as being unfit for the political arena?
And you do realize that when you broad brush women like that, you include ALL CONSERVATIVE women as well, don’t you?
And militant feminism is not representative or all women any more that metrosexual men are representative of all men.

It's only believe the woman if she's a democrat and she's accusing a republican.
Any other scenario and it's dismissed with the bottom of the heap being a republican woman accusing a democrat politician.

(I maintain) probably nothing whatsoever occurred between Kavanaugh and Blasey Ford The preponderance of the evidence is that Fords testimony of her memory of 1982 is a conscious construction designed for a purpose, rather than a memory of an actual event. Alone, the fact that nobody corroborates any of her memory makes it highly improbable that it is a memory of a real event. It could be a recovered memory - it came out of a psychanalysis session, after all - but the chances of that sort of thing being probative are on the order of buying a winning Lottery ticket.
What we know for sure is that the Democrats have exploited her tale for all it was worth - and doubled down with even more outrageous claims. The Democrats handling of this thing cries out for investigation. And, IMHO, prosecution.
