I have followed the hearings on Judge Kavanaugh. Though there is not solid evidence to prove his guilt in the alleged assault in a court of law, there would seem to be enough to call into question his suitability for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. At the very least, his outburst in which he blamed 'the left', Democrats, the Clintons, and the media and threatened reprisals, makes him no longer even remotely an impartial arbiter of the law.
What amazes me is the women who feel compelled to talk about false rape allegations. Obviously those do exist, and there are false criminal allegations for all manner of crimes, not just rape. Several studies have found that roughly 5% of all rape allegations are false. Other studies show that only about 1/3 of all sexual assaults are ever reported. There is no epidemic of false rape allegations.
Given how few men are tried, convicted, and punished for actual rape, one wonders just how many men are truly locked up on bogus rape charges. Some are and have been proven to be, but those seem to be exceptions. Meanwhile so many genuine rapists are either never brought to trial, or receive minimal punishment for their crime.
Now I understand men rushing to question any accusations. Far too many of those (but certainly not all) feel some guilt for their own questionable activities, which they would rather see ignored or dismissed. I cannot for the life of me understand the women who rush to undercut any allegations before there is any evidence one way or the other.
