She becomes a feminist icon, her professorship is burnished, she makes a fortune writing a book, enjoys lucrative lecture tours and is hailed a #MeToo heroine
It is wrong to wait over 35 years to denigrate anyone who attended that alcohol-fueled event. If Professor Ford, the alleged victim, is victorious and Judge Kavanaugh’s career and reputation go down in flames, it will hurt women in general. Christine would then epitomize the female predator waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Throughout history, starting with Eve in the Bible, women have been branded dangerous, destructive and scheming. Even the ancient Greeks, the most enlightened, intellectual people of all time, refused to teach women to read, claiming it would be “like giving poison to a snake.”
"The method Professor Ford is using to destroy a man adds credence to the opinion all females are hazardous."[Roz Heid, Baltimore- The Baltimore Sun]
