I have been following the alleged molestation of Christine Blasey Ford by Brett Kavanaugh (http://vbala99.blogspot.com/2018/09/christene-blasey-ford-and-brett.html).
The following is a quote from https://www.wsj.com/articles/tomorrows-elite-lawyers-disavow-due-process-1538695941: "The #BelieveSurvivors mantra is a cornerstone of the campus grievance industry but inimical to everything that a law school should teach. It’s a religious gesture, not a legal one: Such belief is independent of proof, arising out of a pre-existing commitment to a narrative of ubiquitous female abuse by patriarchal white males. The “survivor” label presupposes the conclusion that evidence should establish: that the accused is guilty of an offense. The fact-finder, if there even is one, regards contradictions or holes in a woman’s story as evidence of “trauma” and thus as further corroboration. According to #BelieveSurvivors logic, the Innocence Project, which exists to vacate wrongful convictions and has a presence at law schools across the country, should be disbanded. Examples abound of student rape allegations arising out of voluntary drunken hookups, following which the self-described victim sought further sexual contact with her alleged rapist. Even if such cases weren’t so common, to presume the guilt of the accused based on an accusation alone would still be an affront to due process. From Tomorrow’s Elite Lawyers Disavow Due Process."
WSJ is pro-Trump and hence pro-Kavanaugh and hence with respect to the Ford-Kavanaugh issue it's pro-male.
Two completely different views. After reading the WSJ article above and then the everygirl link - former on behalf of men, latter on behalf of victims... It's amazing.. Whose side are you on!! This is an example of not needing to focus on facts but empathizing with men and with women. And not take sides.
As F Scott Fitzgerald said "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function."
Now do you see Scott Fitzgerald is a feeler (and not a thinker)?
