Exactly my thoughts on the subject. I never raped anyone in my life, but this sort of harmless stuff happened at many parties. No has always meant no to me, it's called "trying it on". You'll never find out if you don't try. He was just 17 at the time if it even happened. Which I very much doubt. If it did happen, it's no big deal.

Trauma victims do one of two things: A) They remember everything in clear detail; or, B) They unwittingly block out everything, as a defense mechanism. FORD has done neither. She is straight up lying. That's why she has been reluctant to appear ~ under OATH.

I don't believe that she is being used, I believe that she voluntarily is part of a plan put in place to keep Judge Kavanaugh from being confirmed. They just didn't think that it would come to the point that they would request her to testify. Now they are hedging so that the time Congress/Senate can vote will run out. Kavanaugh will have to be confirmed by EOD Thursday or it is over.
She's being manipulated just like a puppet. I bet she doesn't even know if it was Kavanaugh or some other random kid. That's what happens at every party that every teenager goes to. It's not usual and it's totally innocent most times. It's learning about boundaries. I remember "trying it on" but always knew no means no.

Un-PC but back in the day, if she had gone to the police, the chances are, they would have taken her home and let her parents deal with her being a 15 year old girl getting drunk with 17 year old boys, in her bathing suit, who got away very luckily with a drunken teen attempting to get to first base! Real trauma? I seem to remember this being normal behavior for drunk teens! when did making out become illegal? She was old enough to know this was a stupid thing to do, if it did happen, with whoever t was, she was probably worried about getting into trouble herself at the time. If this is as bad as it was, and if it's only this bad, she can count herself among the lucky ones. This seems to trivialize the very real damage that abuse and rape cause. To add insult to injury, the condemnation of a man who cannot say other than "It wasn't me" leaves a very bad stain on the hands of those who "believe" the accuser. And? they are saying we believe that this thing happened to her, by extension, he did it, and because we now determine any interaction between drunk kids as male sexual exploitation of women, (why don't we just lump all sex in there? Don't dare have a glass of wine with dinner tonight, you have no idea what that might become in 35 years time!), even when we have no way of knowing what happened, you, Judge K should lose everything! Has the world gone totally mad?

I said the same thing, i remember all the details. It is something you don't forget.
