A Message...

The Democrats declared war on Brett Kavanaugh in the name of women’s rights. But the tactics employed have also wrought immeasurable damage on victims of sexual assault.

Since Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation that Justice Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her 36 years ago, Democrats have portrayed her mere allegation as proof conclusive of Kavanaugh’s guilt. 

Democrats, warned that Kavanaugh’s confirmation will “send a message to every victim of sexual violence that their pain doesn’t matter.

The left’s political posturing has broadcast to victims a devastatingly untrue message, and Kavanaugh’s confirmation has now cemented that lesson in the conscious of countless victims.

Democrats further harmed the cause of justice for sexual abuse victims by propping up Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick’s charges of sexual misconduct as “serious allegations.” 

Ramirez, who claimed Kavanaugh exposed himself to her while they were both freshman at Yale, came forward with her allegation only after spending a week chatting with attorneys and thinking over her decades-old memory of a drunken night. And every person with direct knowledge of the supposed assault denied Kavanaugh’s involvement. Swetnick’s ridiculous gang-rape charge advanced by lawyer Michael Avenatti, of Stormy Daniels’ fame, further proved the political motivation behind these unbelievable 11th-hour claims.

All in all, the Democrats used Dr. Ford/Kavanaugh to fight the Republicans any way they can.

We do it to ourselves, not the Russian hackers of the Chinese. We may have knew what the outcome would be but usually some may think dragging it through the mud would help one party over the other. 

Raging...

Growing up, I do not recall having hard discussions about sex and intimacy. It was taboo to talk about such things with children, or so it seemed. I am sure I was told not to let anyone touch me where my thighs meet. No tangible speeches about men or boys who preyed on girls, no school lessons about pedophiles, rapists or sexual assaulters. There were no warnings about guys who don’t take no for an answer or that don’t bother asking for permission.

I am still unsure if I would've been a raging, gutsy feminist had I been equipped with the knowledge early. 

Gone are the days of cute, brief and awkward exchanges about the birds and the bees. We need  master classes on the dynamics between men and women. I navigated my journey with the opposite sex through trial, error and silence. 

For the little girls who appear to be entirely neglected in this new era of the intolerant Me Too we need more than a crusade and a hashtag to change the ingrained and unchecked demoralizing behaviors our country appears to glorify. ..
We owe it to our daughters to make them warriors. !!

As of 5 p.m., the campaign “Help Christine Blasey Ford,” one of at least two set up on her behalf, had raised more than $378,000 total when the hearing began, according to a spokeswoman for the crowdfunding website.

The GoFundMe campaigns came up after Rachel Mitchell, a prosecutor who questioned Dr. Blasey asked who had paid for a polygraph examination Dr. Blasey took as part of her sexual assault accusation against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh.

Dr. Blasey’s lawyers said that her legal team had paid for the polygraph  “as is routine,”  and they were both working pro bono.
