It was common knowledge among her peer group that Kavanaugh and his cronies were out there raping people?
You seem to be conceding that Kavanaugh tried to rape her. You just think she shouldn’t have been surprised about it?
You have a very odd opinion.
Oh, I think the “thereby professing the fact, presumedly, that she still qualified as virginal despite the groping she allegedly suffered two or three years before” bit was entirely you. You can’t blame that utterly disgusting “professing virginity” language on the Washington Post.
Eeuch.
Most people understand “seeing what you can get” as scoring a consensual partner who is down for sex or making out. Only rapists thinks it includes locking someone in a room, holding them down, nearly suffocating them to block their screams, and groping them against their will.
** Starving Artist**, you’re essentially saying girls that socialized with Kavanaugh should have predicted he would do shit like this the moment he had the opportunity. In other words, girls should’ve pegged a future nominee to the SCOTUS as a probable rapist and were at fault for trusting him.
Trust. We can’t even trust this man not to rape, let alone uphold and defend the Constitution. Can someone remind me again why this is the person we want as a Justice?
With defenders like SA, opponents don’t even have to make any arguments. Light is being shown on the rottenness. Those with eyes, please see.
It’s great that you are so in touch with the myriad emotions a 15-year-old girl should feel. Beyond great.
SA also conceded that Kavanaugh tried to rape Christine Blasey Ford in this post, where SA was mocking the idea that CBF could have suffered any trauma:
Obviously.
Hey, if it is common knowledge that you are a rapist, you cannot get into trouble for it. If someone gets raped by known rapist, it’s not like they should be upset about it.
Emphasis mine, to show your firm stance that allegations of criminal conduct cannot result in investigation, unless “solid physical evidence” (or “DNA” or “a body” if you prefer) exists.
So I assume you can link us to posts in which you decry investigation of allegations made by those who say they were molested as children by priests …? Since there would be no “solid physical evidence” or “DNA” or “a body” that those adults could produce, I assume you’ve come down very vocally on the side that no investigation of such claims may or should occur…??
Just a few links to posts in which you’ve taken this position would be very welcome.
Because upholding and defending rapists is more important than upholding and defending the constitution.
I mean, after all, according to republicans themselves, they all engaged in this sort of behavior, so, if they judge this person for it, then they would have to judge themselves, or even worse, be judged by their friends, family, co-workers, or even constituents.
The defense is weak because the point of this is to get a pro-rape judge on the bench. That way, they no longer need to worry about answering for their youthful indiscretions either.
Yes, the plan is to prevent any evidence from being presented----and then to tell Ford she’s not credible because there’s no evidence. Q.E.D.
And then Kavanaugh will hold forth for a while about how much he loves and respects and values women (as he gestures to the rows of adoring women sitting behind him), and while he was happy to be able to help this very confused or maybe even mentally-ill woman to have her say, now all that can be dismissed, and he can get on with his very important work of Helping All Women from his seat on the Supreme Court!
…and registered voters, female and otherwise, will have been revolted by the blatantly fixed game they just watched play out. And in November, they will remember that disgust, and vote accordingly.
Yes, conveniently enough at the very time Kavanaugh’s name was being raised as a potential SCOTUS nominee should Romney have won election to the presidency.
You have not been paying attention.
This will probably get me marked as a Hysterical Woman, but fuck it. We are steadily inching towards Handsmaid territory right now. I don’t know many more setbacks we can take before we slip slide into dystopia, but documentaries and history books will show Kav’s confirmation as one of those polarizing defining moments.
Nope, speaking hypothetically.
I’m pretty sure they could have stopped the election of Donald Trump but that didn’t happen, so… 
Do you have an alternative explanation for its inclusion in the article?
What needs to happen is more and more high profile GOP leaders to follow the talking points expressed by some Kavanaugh supporters on this board!
Doubt too many will. Few politicos lead the public to their opinions, they follow it, and increasingly the public is recognizing that Kavanaugh is, well, not a truthful person.
Now mind you among GOP voters he is believed more than she is, 60 to 14%. But we are past primaries and going into a general election.
Pretty sure his less than completely honest answers given previously will be brought back up this week.
Then most people are wrong. This, from the article in question:
This is what I was referring to as the boys "seeing what they could get. It does not sound to me like consensual activity with girls who are down for sex or making out.
What I’m saying is that they should not have been shocked by it. In other words it was a possibility, but not a certainty.
I don’t believe I said anything about crystal balls and foretelling the future. And I note that you’ve now inserted “trust” into the scenario, an issue which none of the girls in the article professed, given that they clearly spoke of how the boys tried to take advantage of them. My guess is that you inserted it in order to set up your segue into the following:
I think that given his 37-year record of exemplary behavior since this questionable (to say the least) occurrence took place, makes him considerably trustworthy both not to run around raping people and to uphold the Constitution.
My guess is that it’s similar to the reason you wanted Bill Clinton, who by the strength of identical evidence was a full-blown-to-orgasm rapist and brutalizer, and all-around womanizer on top of that, as President.
I, too, hope that light will be shined on the rottenness surrounding this issue. If so, I fear you won’t be happy with the result.
