Top Cats Hat   10 #2401 Posted September 27, 2018  it's easy to jump on the bandwagon when it is high profile, where were they for the last 30 years?   Actually the opposite is true.  When victims of high profile sex abusers are asked why they left it so long before coming forward, many say that as their abuser got more and more well known and even loved by the public, the less they felt that they would be believed.

Magilla   510 #2403 Posted September 27, 2018 There is no evidence and one has already withdrawn the accusation already, it's easy to jump on the bandwagon when it is high profile, where were they for the last 30 years?  You could say the same about the victims of Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby  It's not at all uncommon for victims to stay quiet until there's a tipping point. It's not like coming out with these accusations is the easy option.  You are all chomping at the bit because he is a Trump nominee and nothing more.  Well, yeah, it's the Trump thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Of course you don't like that and neither did she. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Magilla   510 #2405 Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Don't let the facts get in the way of a good witch hunt.  The facts are that there are some women who have accused him of sexual assault!  The facts are that the vast majority of Supreme Court nominees haven't had sexual assault allegations directed against them.  The way you're going on you'd think it was a common thing  You honestly believe this is just because he's a Trump nominee?  I hope one day you all find yourselves in the same position.  One thing's for sure, if I ever am, I'll look less guilty than Brett Kavanaugh does!  ---------- Post added 27-09-2018 at 17:47 ----------  So what do you think about the 2 men who have come forward and said it was them and not Kavanaugh?  Weird, a minute ago she was making it up and should be locked up! So you believe she was assaulted now?  They should be heard, like the victim. If it turns out it was them, and as you say they're admitting it, they should be charged accordingly.  We know who the victim is, but who are these men? What are their names?  Of course you don't like that and neither did she.  It does seem unlikely that she can't recall who was attacking her (IMHO) Edited September 27, 2018 by Magilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Top Cats Hat   10 #2406 Posted September 27, 2018 As far as today's hearing went, it all comes down to whether you believe a professor of psychology who deals with abuse trauma or a misogynist lawyer who admits that he was out of control in his younger days.  If he wasn't Trump's nominee he would already have been canned by now!

Halibut   12 #2410 Posted September 27, 2018 There was nowhere near anything like this.  Did you look at the link I posted? Perhaps listening to the woman explain how she felt might make you better informed as to why she didn't report it at the time and why she felt compelled to come forward now.

Top Cats Hat   10 #2411 Posted September 27, 2018 There was nowhere near anything like this.  I agree, but that was 25 years ago where a blind eye was turned to much sexual abuse by men in power.  This is 2018 where the #metoo campaign has blown the lid completely off the acceptance that sexual abuse is just 'boys being boys'.  Kavanaugh is toast. Get over it. Trump had a perfect opportunity to stand up for him today, when he got off his plane but chose to stay silent.  Even Trump's cheerleaders at Fox News are calling the hearing 'a disaster'.
