‘Believe the woman’ didn’t mean believe all women, all the time. But this is an era of slogans, and we’re paying the price for that.” So spoke an adviser to one of the women now being considered as Joe Biden’s running mate, quoted by Politico. In other words, "believe the woman" was a lie.
What they meant was, "Believe the woman when she’s with our party and the man she's accusing is a conservative who might vote against us on the Supreme Court."
So Anita Hill was a saint, whereas Paula Jones (who got a nice hefty sum out of Bill Clinton), was "trailer-park trash." Juanita Broaddrick could not get a hearing, and Gloria Steinem wrote in the New York Times that President Clinton, because of his party and his stance on abortion, should get a pass, depending upon whom he had pawed.

Given this, an impartial observer has to conclude that Reade’s story is probably more likely true because she gave a time and a place to her story, seemed disturbed to contemporaneous observers, and told others about it.
Any woman who believes Blasey Ford and not Reade does not believe in "believing the woman." And the woman chosen by Biden to run right beside him will be "paying the price" for the lie. Just a thought.
