I was in full support of Kavanaugh until I heard his angry diatribe against the Clintons and the far left. The temperament and the political disposition to angrily testify about the Clintons and the far left bothered me. I would have been just as upset if a nominee railed against the Koch brothers and the far right.
A he-said/she-said argument, after all these years was bound to become a lose-lose situation. Of course, in the long run, Kavanaugh won because he will be on the Supreme Court for a long time, but it was ugly and he will carry some scars.

What was 15 YO Christine doing at that party? Worse, the whole prep school environment FEATURED all sort of, uhhh, "extracurricular activities" and everyone knew it, including parents. So, yeah, someone pawing my (hypothetical) daughter and I'd be mad as hell also. But as a teacher I have seen parents defend their offspring regardless of what a fool a son or daughter has been that brought on the problem in the first place. This phenomenon exists just about universally, and I do not like it, but that is life. When it comes to ego defense, parents are highly susceptible to gross non-objectivity about their offspring. "This is my protoplasm, right or wrong." Spare me, please. I really can't stand that kind of character weakness. I think Susan Collins had it right. No corroboration by any of the supposed witnesses Christine identified were at that party, if there even was a party at that time. Including a close female friend. of Christine. And her parents and siblings would not speak on her behalf. And she refused to turn over the notes from her therapy sessions. What I have read about these notes is that, to begin with, Christine's original story was that the party and the incident took place when she was 17 or 18. Kavanaugh was long gone from the scene by then What it all looks like was a case of "political memory" in service to a questionable feminist cause. Was Kavanaugh slandered? So what? Males are "the enemy" and if a woman chooses to crap all over a man, he deserves it because he is male. Anyone care to dispute this evaluation?

I'm confused. Surely there's a lot of false accusations and victim playing. But is the author implying being pawed against your will by a boy is no big deal? At least If he's cute?!? I'd happily take a shotgun to any kid who tried that with my daughter. Let's not turn contempt for coddling into condoning genuine exploitation of women...
