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.

Trauma and Truth: The feminist movement has shifted the definition of rape to include regret

Mind games and word games is what The Left is selling.

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.

“#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.

And then women complain about not being able to find Mr Right. They have scared all the decent ones away!

The “Rape replaced by Regret” became the norm on college campuses and in Obama’s military. Everyone else is finally catching on.

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

Before they played the Race Card. Nowadays, liberals play the Woman Card.

(I maintain) probably nothing whatsoever occurred between Kavanaugh and Blasey Ford
The preponderance of the evidence is that Ford’s 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 Democrat’s handling of this thing cries out for investigation. And, IMHO, prosecution.

I I get drunk and get behind the wheel, I am nevertheless held responsible for the bad decisions I might make.

Women who get drunk should not be able to disavow their bad decisions. Either that or don’t get drunk in the first place.

No 911 call.

No rape kit.

No crime. Sorry gals, if you don’t line it, the Burka awaits.

awesome post. Everybody who has used the #BelieveWomen hashtag should be forced to read this.

In undergrad a girl nearly shut down a fraternity where I was a “little sis” - by claiming rape at a party where I was present. Claimed upstairs, load music, shut door, etc. It was one of the better fraternities too. We sort of doubted her - but figured “why would she lie?” Huge scandal on campus.

Sometime later that year she completely recanted - turned out she had stepped out on her boyfriend and used this as a way to throw blame on the guy instead.

I do know a lot of women that are real victims - but this huge onslaught of post hookup victims is really pathetic, and you wonder why none of their mothers taught them that the best way to avoid such harm is to avoid being drunk and at least make abstinence a GOAL...

I would like to add something that is really irking me.
Taking on the label of ‘survivor’.
What the heck!?!

When I hear ‘survivor’, I think of a tragic death defying situation. Like the Titanic or in war. Even a house fire or car wreck where there were fatalities. Or a violent attack where you were left for dead and survived it, sure.

I blame it totally on glorification of ‘victimhood’ and dramatics generation. I am not making light of rape. But taking on such a label is not helpful for someone to overcome anything. And insisting on it being the defining label of your life will certainly psychologically hold you back.

Many females succumb to lust, then regret it, since they do not want to see themselves as sluts. They then blame the male, the partner in promiscuity.

It takes two to tango.

Regret....so if she doesn’t remember her orgasm it was rape?

Interesting article, mostly about the drunken "hook up" culture on college campuses and how many feminists have been trying to grossly distort what happens.

We also have a cognitive disconnect in these cases, as to why they call it "rape", when they willingly participated, then report it later as a rape. How many times have Liberals, both in and out of law enforcement advised women to not resist; just "do what you have to to survive"?

It really makes me wonder how many of these looney women, while tipsy, were just sober enough to remember to do just that, instead of saying, "no!" They didn't necessarily want to have the sex, but did as advised, and gave in, participating wholeheartedly, anyway.

In their sobered up mind, that could well make them honestly feel like they "survived" being raped, when it was no such thing: They were just following the "don't resist" indoctrination of "survive and report", when NO THREAT existed.

Read these fantastic comments on a conservative Facebook page & wanted to pass them along. Author is Sean D Sorrentino.

Apparently Orrin Hatch said the following in WSJ (behind a paywall):

“You’ve got to be kidding me. Do the people making this argument really expect a man who until five seconds ago had an unblemished reputation to sit passively while his reputation is viciously and permanently destroyed? While he is accused of the most horrific and obscene acts imaginable? Judge Kavanaugh’s critics seem to be aghast that he is a human being who is unwilling to take slander lying down.”

[WSJ article is titled Brett Kavanaugh’s Righteous Anger]

I’d like to expand on something in there.

“...accused of the most horrific and obscene acts imaginable”

I’m seeing apparently serious people saying “so what if a privileged white man doesn’t get a promotion, he’s still going to be a lifetime justice on the Court of Appeals for DC.”

Apparently in their world being accused of trying to rape someone is simultaneously

1) So awful that he deserves to be Borked out of a Supreme Court seat.

2) No big deal, so he should just get over it and get back to work on the DC Circuit.

[Say what?]

A few years ago I had to explain this to a nice liberal female friend of mine. Rape is a big [bleeping] deal in Conservative land. It is literally “the most horrific and obscene act imaginable.”

I’d rather you thought me a murderer than believed me a rapist. Ordinary people can imagine circumstances where they’d kill someone, and might have some sympathy for me if they thought I murdered someone. Maybe the guy kinda deserved it, and maybe the jury was a bunch of weenies about the whole thing.

There are literally zero circumstances where raping someone is a good idea. There’s no justification for it. Even attempting rape puts you outside the tribe. It makes you a non-person. It makes you fair game for anyone to kill on sight.

“Why’d you shoot that guy 27 times in the face and pelvis?”

“Because he raped my sister and that was all the ammo I brought.”

“Oh, ok.”

That’s how rapists are viewed in Conservative land.

So when the Left starts shooting their mouths off about “Rape Culture,” we get bent out of shape. When they conflate ordinary boorish behavior with rape, we lose our minds. Because branding a man a rapist is literally telling the rest of the world that he needs killing.

Yet they feel totally ok about deploying the “he’s a rapist!” charge with nothing in the way of evidence, and can’t understand why a decent man, who is married to a woman, who has daughters, who coaches a girls basketball team, might find it incredibly upsetting. They painted a target on his back. They told the world that there is no crime he wouldn’t stoop to. They invited the world to kill him. They encouraged him to kill himself.

That’s where this ends. With a 12 gauge mouthwash. Because when you’ve convinced a significant portion of the world that Brett Kavanaugh is a rapist or even an attempted rapist, he has nothing left to live for.

I’ve repeatedly compared this high tech lynching to the real thing. And the usual Leftist whiners have whined about comparing the “privileged white man losing a job opportunity” (near direct quote) to a mob stringing up a black man. I’ll tell you directly, if I have to choose, send me the mob. I have a rifle and I’ll take a few with me if I can. But I’d rather be strung up from a tree than have the nation think I was a rapist. Getting lynched at least means I get to die all at once.
