An EXCELLENT point! Absolutely!
I'm glad they jumped right on this. They don't have much time.
I cannot get that image out of my mind - a graphic of "GOP" with
A womans face in the O in GOP with a mans hand clamped over her mouth.
DAMMIT!!!!!!!
I feel like thats what the republi-CONS are trying, rather desperately, INCREASINGLY desperately, to keep on doing that to women.
Take it to the bank. They STILL want to be able to do that to women. To silence women. To muzzle women. To discount and dismiss and demean women - our feelings, our experiences, our worldview, hell, even the most basic bedrock of WHO. WE. ARE.
No kidding.
YES!!!!!
Totally!

As I was watching Kavanaugh's sturm und drang about how offended and violated he feels
and oh what it's done to his reputation and his family and their lives have been destroyed - all I could think of was: "gee, dude, now you know how it feels to be a woman."
I woke up depressed this morning. Feeling like all is lost. I went to bed feeling that way
last night. Yesterday was such a hard, dark, grueling day. I'll never forget that remark by former prosecutor Cynthia Alksne during the first break of the morning session when the coverage switched back to the anchor studio - "Half of America is crying." I was certainly one who did.
So I was stunned to see the tide turning. Grateful as hell, but still stunned.
I'm almost afraid to breathe.
My husband said that in terms of "judicial temperament," Dr. Ford behaved like the one
who should be headed for a Supreme Court seat, not this wild-ass out-of-control snarling red-faced human explosion.
