"he said/she said"

[niyad]

5. And she is presumed to lie even though the man has huuuuuge incentives to lie

Kavanaugh stands to lose:

The job he's applying for (most prized job of his profession)
The job he has (federal judge)
His freedom (criminal liability)
His wealth (civil liability)
And who knows what personal and social connections he stands to lose. Would you let your daughter be coached by someone who once attempted rape?


But no, it's always the woman, and some unclear upside in the 15 minutes on the national stage, mostly getting horrifically negative treatment. In this case, including being driven from her home due to death threats.

Yeah, must be the woman lying.
