Thoughts on she said/he said

I made it through high school, college and grad school without once attending a drinking party. As an adult I’ve attend hundreds of social events and only seen a drunk man once. (I’ve seen more tipsy women than men, actually.) We’re almost 50 years into this current women’s movement with consciousness raising groups, special workshops to catch up, leadership grants, and for 2 decades now women have outnumbered the men enrolling in college, and for a decade in the cities have out earned men of the same age and education. How much time do we women need to “recover” from a trauma? I know women who have survived 3 kinds of cancer, the deaths of children and husband, horrid auto accidents, career losses.  We are not wimps!!

Just stop it all of you claiming Ford wouldn’t lie, or doesn’t have any reason to do this!  You’re returning women to an 18th century shrinking violet era.  Yes women lie, and they lie about sex too—maybe not as much as the guys, but they do.  And they can be mean and nasty and yes, do willingly put themselves out there for 10 minutes of fame. Fame is power, and heady stuff.  Millions were watching on TV.   Anita Hill made a fortune and a career by being the accuser of Clarence Thomas. 

Are women so pure and stupid they didn’t notice?

She sounded like a middle school student. Not credible at all.
