That's what you guys are doing. Every time women come out and accuse someone, there's always the screams, "She's lying or attention-hungry or trying to ruin someone!" Ever thought that might be a reason women don't come forward and sexual assault remains so underreported?
That would just be regressive propaganda and your own imagination at work. Honestly, you come off like a conspiracy theorist.

So you think the MSM is paying women to lie... seriously... talk about paranoid conspiracies. Maybe something like Fox News would do that. But I don't think any other source, left or right, would.
When it comes of false accusations, no, the MSM isn't paying women to lie - they lie all on their own, and the media is all to eager to give them attention as it suits them. You'll notice they don't do this all that equally.

Absent physical evidence (after all, the incident took place decades ago), Kavanaugh simply didn't act like an innocent man.
And rape victims all act a certain way, too, right?

The reason why Dr. Ford didn't charge him is simple. She doesn't wanna be in the same room with him. Hell, I've seen people argue that you could test DNA from rapists decades ago. With that logic, we shouldn't believe WWII victims stepping forward. After all, they could get the semen on them from their rapist tested and hunt him down in Russia to get their justice, right? But then, do you really think those older women, especially if they were brutalized by more than one horny and drunk man as a CHILD, is going to wanna see them again? Even that possibility will have them short on air and feeling triggered. You really don't understand psychology at all, do you?
This idea that women are plotting liars constantly scheming on how to overthrow and destroy men is a frankly hateful and offensive stereotype that just needs to die. It's been a stereotype since Shakespeare's time.
Dr. Ford's intention was completely transparent from the outset, and her own witnesses failing to even give corroborating testimony only sealed it. Anyone with a half a brain could tell this was entirely political from the start, with only those suffering from doublethink having any real trouble grasping this.

If they legitimately gave a shit about the child, they'd wanna make sure they came out to a happy world, but their economic policies have been shit since Reagan and just lead to more poverty, which doesn't breed happy children.

Plus these hardcore Christians just hate the idea of women having sex and enjoying it, and people just having sex period. They are really regressives from another era who belong in the 4th century in terms of how sexually enlightened they are.
...
They get off on the idea of forced birth. It honestly in some ways feels like a kink to them.
That doesn't apply to any Christians I know. Maybe it's just what you want to believe, so you can feel justified hating people you already want to hate?
Then you need to meet more Christians. The ones I met at outfest and outside Planned Parenthood didn't seem very nice.
Did you ask them if they hated the idea of women enjoying sex, or people enjoying sex, period?
@Admiral X Then you're still subscribing to gender stereotypes, that women are scheming, plotting liars trying to overthrow and ruin men.
@Darth Wedgius They do have a very primitive mindset when it comes to sex and people's bodies. Not surprising given they adhere to scripture that at the time was being hijacked by a man who was rabidly anti-woman and destroyed Jesus's original message. Also, not saying this is all Christians. Not even a majority. But it is a sizable chunk and they wanna grab power and make life hell for everyone. Kavanaugh is one of them, who wants to repeal Row v. Wade and ban birth control because of outdated views on mortality, again, namely that they hate the idea of people having consensual sex, we should wait till marriage, or shouldn't have sex at all and only do so to keep our species going. The way they act it is as if they constantly have sex on the minds, and how to regulate it or keep other people from doing it or how to do it "right." I really hate them.

It's always funny when people think I support him just because I'm not in the "literally Hitler" camp.

I don't know where you get this idea from seeing as nothing I said had anything to do with gender stereotypes. Anyone can lie. If anyone is sexist or subscribing to gender stereotypes, it's the people who will put aside logic and reason because it happens to be a woman doing the lying.

It's cute that you think I'll actually believe you when you claim not to be an alt-right troll. For chrissake, Richard Spencer, who idolizes Adolf Hitler, once publicly claimed that neo-Nazis don't like him even though his little fan club is like 90% neo-Nazis. People can claim what they like, I judge by all their words and actions.

Keep judging like that and your team is going into the wilderness for a long time.
If you think people don't lie when they have a motivation and opportunity to do so you are either dumb or naive. Words are cheap, lies rarely have commensurate consequences, and humans are very good at lying. This is why evidence is a standard of truth and not feelings.

Are you back to accusing a Native or being a white supremacist?

We have only your word that you're a native, and any image you show us could be photoshopped or come from someplace online. See? Skepticism is easy. And we live in a very cynical world. Where does it end if we're ever going to truly evolve into a more perfect world? Probably never if this doesn't stop.
