      You had to go here.

      Fine:

      Who holds out the stupid apple in probably most cases. Young female human adolescents love attention from the opposite sex. At fifteen, the hormones are stronger than logic and override appropriate functioning of the brain. This fifteen year old, as a diver, knew she was in good physical shape. Swimmers and divers at that age have truly breathtaking bodies. She probably had been flirting around.

      Furthermore, Ford had her full-piece swim suit on. She was protected by that suit, even if he had wanted to go further, which he probably didn't. He was showing off for his friend ... acting. As boys do at that age. They love to impress their peers.
      What kind a kid was Bret? typical?

      Its hard for me to believe the boys were hiding in the bedroom near the bathroom waiting for a poor unsuspecting female; like a couple of spiders waiting for a fly. Hard to believe that what they reportedly did was premeditated.

    Reality and believability does not appear to be important to the left. They are the 'if you don't have anything good to say about someone, come sit by me' party.

    "poor poor women's right war ..."


    Whats even worse is what Catholic priests have done to children/boys.

    The more I contemplate what those priests have gotten away with over all these years WITH NO CONSEQUENCES, the more outraged I become.

    The #Metoo movement pales in comparison, if you ask me, which no one ...

    A child trusts an adult. The adult who takes advantage of that trust and takes advantage of his HOLY position is truly EVIL.  But the child is in awe of this person and wants to please him.

    A woman is the same as a child? She is in awe of the man she is dealing with? ... she cannot walk away with her big long adult legs? or refuse to take one step toward a casting couch? Or step away from that big black car, or JUST SAY

                                N O ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Apparently we women need protection from evil men. I am all for women who cannot deal with a coeducational society to go and create their own well protected/guarded domed community.

    I would rather work out my strong legs and carry a gun than live in there.

    Kathryn , I agree with everything you said and I am a gentleman  who's always been in awe of women , but somewhat disappointed since the seventies about women who don't seem  worthy of the kindness'. Today not many appreciate a door holder ,  a tire changer or a friendly innocent smile in for one in return .       I'm actually a dinosaur Kathryn , a gentleman in a world of men and women I  truly don't understand . Neither seem interested in anything but selfish agendas and modern  meism's.

    Besides that , Dr. Ford seems  righteous enough but can't remember  details she should remember . The rest seem to be just whackos .  So far I don't see a thing wrong with Kavanaugh except  he was too nice to the senate .

            You may have experience in the 'circle jerk' (as you call it department). It's a little low, for the average person. Well, the average conservative, anyway.

              Context and comprehension. "Average" is too flattering for what's happening in this thread.

              "Circle jerk is a synonym of echo chamber, where people (such as your Facebook friends) reinforce each other’s opinions."

              Of course, if you thought I meant the other definition, that's a bit weird and solely on you.

                  Lol, if it makes you happy. I didn't invent the alternate definition, though, unlike Brett did for two different terms. I know that's good enough for you, though. Trump defenders have a lot of experience rationalizing lying liars.

                  Of course, I'm not a Supreme Court nominee, just a person on a forum, but I've come to expect this odd expectation Trump defenders have of higher standards for a forum dweller than for POTUS, and now for a SC justice.

                    I'm rationalizing you. If you call yourself a lying liar I'm not joining in on that. The definition I am holding you to has been around a lot longer than the one you are attempting to divert attention to. You will have to accept if you held one to the more heinous of the two you will have to be held to it.

            Not about "women these days"  but woman these days .   You have to be biased against the ideology of Kavanaugh to believe at least two of them , Ford was far too vague about far too many questions ,  and number three is just plain  lost in  her own  land of weirdness .

            This isn't about women . It's entirely about obstruction of due process .

                  Sure but there’s “bad character” like you had too much to drink and threw up on your friend’s dog or you were so drunk you thought no one would notice you cheating at charades, and then there’s “bad character” like holding another human being down against their will and trying to undress them. That kind of “bad character” isn’t alcohol’s fault.

                    I think you're right.  Do we know of anyone that did that, or are we assuming that because a woman made the claim that it is true?  There is a whole world of difference between assuming truth and KNOWING truth.

                      If it’s not true then the point still stands, perhaps I should have left out the specifics. Let’s pretend I said some other hypothetical form of sexual assault and avoid the “he said/she said” argument which I am ever so tired of.

      About
      "Circle Jerk" is a pejorative slang term referring to a positive feedback loop which occurs when an idea, belief or meme that is already customary within an online community becomes re-iterated and rewarded in a perpetual cycle, giving rise to redundancy, clichés and karma whoring. This phenomenon is typically observed in communities consisting of self-contained forums devoted to specific interests, beliefs or subcultures.
      Origin
      The term "circle jerk" was initially used to describe a sexual practice in which a group of men masturbate themselves or each other while sitting in a circle. The earliest known use of the term dates back to 1979, when the Los Angeles punk band the Bedwetters renamed their band to the Circle Jerks after one of the band members found it in a dictionary of English slang words. While there are digital footprints of its usage on Usenet newsgroups[15] in the 1980s and 1990s, "circle jerk' largely remained an offline slang term.[16]
