KAVANAUGH AND A CONGRESS THAT SEES RAPE CULTURE AS NORMAL CULTURE

Girls used to go out to clubs and bars in packs 20, 30, 40 years ago -- so they could close ranks against male aggressors just like Kavanaugh.

Sometimes you were only thinking about being safe after you said "no" to dancing or going off with some guy you simply weren't interested in. But, let's face it, the other thing going on when women went out in packs was rape prevention. 

Not being cornered or finding yourself off alone with some guy was uppermost in your mind when you were getting dressed to go out. You were trying to prevent EXACTLY what happened to Christine Blasey Ford

...because rape culture was counted as "normal" until very, very recently.

I knew that "men can't control their dicks"  thing was bullshit when I was 12. But I still played the game as best I knew how when I was 10 years older because I knew it would be counted as MY FAULT if I got raped. 

--same as every other unmarried woman in the country in the 1980s (and beyond) 

Ten out of ten men  that will wind up voting on this in congress know how strenuously they themselves or their buddies argued against the possibility that "date rape" was a reality a few decades back. 

• Believe it or not, whenever we heard of a woman being raped on a date, most young men would say things like "She wouldn't have agreed to go out on a date with him if she didn't want to have sex with him" which in turn meant TO A LOT OF MEN that it was impossible for a woman to be raped while on a date.

So it's entirely possible that seven out of ten congressmen waiting to hear this woman testify on Monday have done the same as Kavanaugh -- with the possible exception of him putting his hands over the Ford's mouth when she tried to scream.

The heat from #MeTOO is the only thing that will stop them from confirming Kavanaugh -- because they already believe Ford.
