Old Republican Men Asking Why Kavanaugh Accusers Didn't Report Assaults Sooner Damn Well Know WHY

[DonViejo]

As it remains today, sexual assault back then was the most under-reported crime in the country.

As Yale alum Deborah Ramirez joins Dr. Christine Blasey Ford in claiming Brett Kavanaugh sexually attacked her and Stormy Daniels lawyer Michael Avenatti says he has a so-far unnamed third accuser, Republicans have settled on three lines of attack: 85-year old Sen. Orrin Hatch’s idea that the women may be “mixed up;” Sen. Lindsey Graham’s that it’s on Ford (and now Ramirez) to prove that Kavanaugh’s not the good man he says he is and always has been; and then President Donald Trump’s “question” about why Ford didn’t file charges 36 years ago if it was “as bad as she says.”

To Hatch, you are the one mixed up; to Graham, a man doesn’t accost every woman; and to the president, the closed minds on the Judiciary Committee, and men in general asking why Ford didn’t rush to the authorities, many women would like to ask you: What world are you living in?

Have you forgotten the prevailing culture, the secrecy about matters sexual, and how shame in those matters was something for the woman but not the man? Do you believe women now?

If you answer honestly, you will know why Ford and others didn’t say anything then.

Chief among Ford’s questioners is Charles Grassley, chair of the Republican all-male band on the Judiciary committee who could barely hide his annoyance with the effrontery of this pesky woman who negotiated timing like many Capitol Hill witnesses do. She’ll appear Thursday.
