1. To think what she had to overcome because some man thought a womans body was fair game

3. Worse than the male Gang of Predators

are the women defending attempted rape by suggesting that this is normal teenage male behavior.

2. She's their Huckleberry.

4. What bugs me, though, about the media highlighting her impressive credentials is that...

...it shouldn't matter. If she was poor or a woman of color, would her accusation be taken less seriously? Sadly, we all know the answer to that.

5. Well this isn't the media but I get your point

You are correct, but since we know how this shit works, I'm glad they won't be able to crush her the same way they have destroyed other victims.

6. I know, but I saw a clip recently on MSNBC about how accomplished she is. The implication being...

[malaise]

7. Well it is an objective fact

She really is accomplished - way more than most of those attacking her.

[Garrett78]

8. Sure, but you got my point. The implication is that she is to be taken seriously because she's...

accomplished. Whereas, if she was struggling to make ends meet or homeless or a person of color (accomplished or not), she would not be taken as seriously. And that's really saying something, given how many aren't even taking Dr. Ford seriously.

9. True, but I think things have changed since #MeToo

I sure hope so.
