Re: Kavanaugh hearing
It clearly is sexual assault. Whether you choose to prosecute is a different matter.Forty Two wrote: ↑Tue Sep 25, 2018 3:40 pmHow so? According to her, she wasn't being raped. I mean, there is a difference between legs-akimbo-cock-thrusting and "drunk teenager gropes your tits," isn't there? I've had girls grope by cock and balls at college parties. I don't consider that "being raped." Heck, I don't even consider it sexual assault, even if the girl had sex on her mind and even if I didn't want to be touched at the time.

If they did that they'd be outing themselves as fascists/fascist-sympathisers. Not something that tends to be viewed too well.Forty Two wrote: ↑Tue Sep 25, 2018 6:09 pm
And, how about folks find out who these antifa dickheads are, and hound them out of the restaurants they go to? Tell them they have no safe place to go to. Shout them down, while they're with their families. The more they do this, I think there are more and more people who will be getting ready to put these dickheads in their place.

Why does the media focus on anything? Because it's sensational.

Re: Kavanaugh hearing

I understand why a woman would wait years to disclose a sexual assault.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/25/opin ... -rape.html
When I was 16 years old, I started dating a guy I met at the Puente Hills Mall in a Los Angeles suburb. I worked there after school at the accessories counter at Robinsons-May. He worked at a high-end men’s store. He would come in wearing a gray silk suit and flirt with me. He was in college, and I thought he was charming and handsome. He was 23.
When we went out, he would park the car and come in and sit on our couch and talk to my mother. He never brought me home late on a school night. We were intimate to a point, but he knew that I was a virgin and that I was unsure of when I would be ready to have sex.
On New Year’s Eve, just a few months after we first started dating, he raped me.
I have been turning that incident over in my head throughout the past week, as two women have come forward to detail accusations against the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Christine Blasey Ford said he climbed on her and covered her mouth during an attempted rape when they were both in high school, and Deborah Ramirez said he exposed himself to her when they were in college.
On Friday, President Trump tweeted that if what Dr. Ford said was true, she would have filed a police report years ago. But I understand why both women would keep this information to themselves for so many years, without involving the police. For years, I did the same thing. On Friday, I tweeted about what had happened to me so many years ago.

Re: Kavanaugh hearing
It's a classic case of conservative men, without a functional empathy system, having absolutely no idea what women might have to go through in life.
I was binge watching Frontier on netflix yesterday and I was reminded of this concept, as there's all these uppity women on the show bossing the men around in the wild west of Canada in the 18th century. I couldn't help thinking how unrealistic it all was, as any man worth his testosterone in those times would just put her in her place. But of course that's what eventually happened. One of these confident sneering uppity women pushed to far and the guy just beat her to death.
And while we live in more civilised times, this is the reality of the world for women. If they say "no" to the wrong thing, they can be killed, plain and simple. A women tells me to do something, and short of her having a knife or gun, I have nothing to fear in saying no.
