Did you miss the part where I gave you statistics? You conveniently chose to ignore that post, I see.

Brett Kavanaugh must be guilty because he’s a proven liar. He also claims not to be at the party, but the victim didn’t even remember where the party was, so how could he know he wasn’t at the party she was assaulted at unless... he was at the party she was assaulted at?

Thank you - it’s nice to try to take down others’ arguments by saying, “Well, can you PROVE that?” rather than providing evidence to the contrary.  That’s a thing you’re allowed to do as a criminal defense attorney but not something you generally *want* to do because juries want to hear evidence to the contrary.

Wait, if she’s going before the full judiciary committee, it’s not all male.  Is it a subset?

To them, real rape is a black man in New York City holding a knife to your throat in a dark alley.

You’re an asshole because you’re playing straw man for no reason other than to be contrarian. Here, enjoy this:

I’ll take your original comment as confirmation that you’re an asshole.  Thank you.

Other than my gut? How about you prove the opposite. Show me a woman who has falsely accused a man in a position of power of sexual assault and been proven a liar. Not just “oh we don’t believe her” but “she accused him when it didn’t happen and here is proof of that.” 

I tried to tell a teacher. She said she didn’t want to hear about my relationship problems. How do you expect a 14 year old to handle that?

I posted this elsewhere but I’m reposting it here because it bears repeating:

I never thought a Supreme Court nomination confirmation hearing would trigger unpleasant memories of my sexual assault, and yet, here we are.

Perhaps it was seeing her rapist’s face all over the goddamn news for the day few months that brought it all back for her. I know that even smelling the soap my rapist (also a teenage boy) used will still bring it back to me, and I don’t even have to see the shithead anymore. 

Yeah. This isn’t about not “dealing with his feelings.” It’s about him being an evil prick with a power complex. 

... what? I’m “not allowed” to empathize with her? Or am I supposed to doubt that what she’s saying about how she feels is true? Because if that’s the case, you’re basically arguing that no one can ever know if anyone is telling the truth about their grief or happiness, and that is a straw man argument if I ever heard…

Well, as a survivor, I can tell you that the one thing I wish I could have done was name my rapist in a public forum where he might be held accountable.  I wasn’t strong enough back then because I was only 14.  Her rape was past the statute of limitations long ago, but maybe this is her way of getting some kind of…

I am a survivor of middle school sexual assault, and I can tell you with certainty that this woman is not exaggerating when she says it still seriously impacts her life to this day. There are still times when I smell the soap my rapist used (which thankfully isn’t often) and go momentarily back to that place. The only…

Today, at the hearing, Lindsey Graham had the absolute fucking nerve to say, “If you want to pick judges for your way of thinking, then you better win an election.”

“If confirmed to the Supreme Court, I will keep an open mind in every case. I will do equal right to the poor and to the rich. I will always strive to preserve the Constitution of the United States and the American Rule of law.”

I, too, share Rob Port-a-Potty as a Senator, and I have called his office so many, many times about gun control, among other things.  Of course, I’ve never gotten a response, which is completely shocking. /s

I’ve heard it before, and my reaction is basically the same every time: “If you’re going to keep using that word, I’m going to treat you like the asshole you are.”
