To your point Boris.
False sexual allegations are the WORST thing anyone can be accused of. We ALL know that.
And, it seems worse for Men because many folks will laugh IF some man accuses some woman of sexual assault.
The double standard regarding sexual behavior has been around longer than me............. that's a while.
But, IF you get charged with such an event criminally and it didn't happen, in THIS Country there is more than a decent chance that YOU will get your day in Court and if NOT Guilty, with competent representation, you are LIKELY (Not guaranteed, mind you) to be able to "prove" your "innocence", though a not guilty verdict doesn't really mean you didn't do it, of course. People get off on crimes all the time.
IF your accuser in that case is wealthy and lied, etc. to try and "ruin" you, then you could likely successfully sue Her and take a large settlement from Her. IF she's a street person or some other kind of pauper you're pretty much F'd.
All of us are, these days. I ain't saying it's right, mind you, but the pendulum for a long long time was dismissive of women's charges. NOW it's swung way way back and (perhaps) has gone a little far.
None of that really applies here because in the case at hand (That YOU don't want to talk about hahaha) it's NOT a criminal matter.
It's a job interview in front of the American citizens for a lifetime appointment on the Highest Court in the Land.
The ONLY thing that SHOULD be determined is the "applicant's" character and qualifications for the lifetime position.
Honesty is a part of Character. A VERY important part for someone on the highest Court in the land.
All other BS aside. Kavanaugh's credibility has been SEEN and judged by many of the American voters and citizens and been found lacking. He simply is NOT credible, as Pres. Trump has stated.
IF You were in a similar situation (non criminal job interview, etc) you would be at the MERCY of the parties representing the organization interested in you to give you a fair chance to defend yourself. My guess is that the chances of you receiving that "fair" process is as varied as the number of corps/organizations that exist in this Country.
BUT, it just isn't fair to blame the women who finally feel empowered enough to tell the TRUTH for the pendulum's over-shift--or the liars who assert false charges in attempts to somehow gain personally for where we are now. There's a ton of things our society just has F'd up to the max. IMO, the entire national priorities are F'd up. I'm sick of the whole mess politically.
On that even All3 and I agree!
