We are now seeing an over correction. It is a shame innocent people suffer in this. It is also a shame that so many women have been unsafe throughout their lives and the ways that they have to behave to remain safe.
Patriarchy is damaging to both men and women. Unfortunately, the men that are having false allegations levied against them now are seeing the ways it is damaging to men.

They vilified Romney in 2012 only to end up with Trump in 2016. They are deserving everything they are getting and more.
I can't get on board with you people deserve Trump or deserve an incredibly conservative justice that will make decisions that will damage the rights of women and the LGBTQ for decades to come. Kavanaugh is awful, but it could be worse. I kind of hope that he just gets confirmed because of the possible worse options.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

* If the death penalty was such a strong deterrent that it could lead to the end of murder (i think it has little to no quantifiable effect, personally). How many innocent men dying would be acceptable for the greater good? Zero seems the idealistic answer, even 1/100 seem way to high. However what if it was 1/100,000? If a 100 thousand men were put to death, and 99,999 "deserved" it, would one innocent life be worth to prevent all future murders?

Originally posted by Art Vandelay View PostI absolutely know this and expect it. In fact 75% of the tests I do are because a patient had a false positive (risk factor) on a screening test. The question as it relates to Kav and sexual assault is what is the acceptable false positive percentage?PLesa excuse the tpyos.

Was The Avenatti Bombshell Witness Claim All The Result Of A Well Executed 4Chan Prank?
The accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have really brought out the desperation from Democrats and their pet media, but this latest piece of news floating around about the Avanetti scandal may really highlight just how bad they need a win.
As Streiff wrote on Sunday, former Stormy Daniels lawyer Micahel Avanetti announced on Twitter that he had “credible information” surrounding the sexual behavior of Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge. So good was the evidence that Avenatti said that he was demanding the opportunity to testify in order to give the evidence to judiciary committee and that all confirmation proceedings should be halted.
So confident was Avanetti that he appeared on MSNBC to tell Rachel Maddow all about it, as Alex Parker highlighted, and trumpeted his witness as some kind of Kavanaugh killer. He played it up on Twitter like this would be the story of the year.
[...]
According to a user on 4Chan, he and his girlfriend were behind Avenatti’s claims about having a bombshell witness, only the entire thing was a total prank. As he highlights in his thread, the man and his girlfriend used burner phones to convince Avanetti that the girlfriend had sex with Kavanaugh and Judge at the same time. She tells Avenatti to call another number belonging to the boyfriend, who acts as a classmate of Kavanaugh’s from his high school days and confirms everything.
Before they’re done, Avenatti is so desperate to have her come forward that he has offered the girlfriend $75,000 in order to appear on Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN. At that point, the 4Chan user claims he and his girlfriend backed off.
You can read the post for yourself below, but be warned, there is graphic language and sexual content.
