kavanaugh otoh *will* have this be a big hit to his rep.and itll be constantly brought up till he dies, if he's confirmed

is my.bet

dunno

this happened to Thomas as well

Even a lot of conservatives and Kavanaugh said they thought she was telling the truth. Just that she was wrong.

But then he used his black card and won @LotheronPrime

"minds were made up before 1 word was uttered"

yes.... and you are saying how dare he call you out for that too

Projection

"sjws always project" said that one guy, vox day or something

"none of us have made an effort to do the right thing, and its the republicans fault!"

apparently protestors are being held back from the committee room by capitol police. they're in the hall.

I had my mind made up, but that’s only because I knew these hearing weren’t going to add anything. I read Fords claims, and made up my mind based on the information available. Nothing wrong with that.

what does credible even mean here?

Being a neoliberal

It means It was the only right one and anything contrary is #FakeNews

last i checked, having no collaborating evidence makes something not credible.

but what about the feels?

like, if the FBI looks into a treat on the president, and there is 0 indication it is possible, they don't label that credible

chairmen looks bored af

its about lived experiences and lived realities, and ford's lived reality > kavanaugh's

female lived reality > male

he's half dead

#equality

"equality means men are women are equal....and for men and women to be equal, men must be subservient"

#newspeak'

"War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength"

semirelated, saw a paper awhile.back that when men treat women equally to men, that women see it as mean and hurtful

and thus sexism

don't need a paper

when women complain about needing to fight for positions in a company, you see it there

they see it as sexism, men see it as the norm

look at people calling the term colorblind racism ffs!

not seeing skin color and only seeing humans, is somehow racist because you are not treating them different

@Grenade123 Orwell is half-truth, second half is Huxley - both combined is what we're starting to have in this world 😉

It's Huxwellian!

I hate when my mom talks at me about the Kavanaugh thing because she has no doubt whatsoever about what is alleged to have happened, when there is zero evidence of anything.

i have a running theory, mostly a joke theory, that the reason man has been used is not sexism. People just shorted human to just man, then women demanded they be treated differently because "its not fair" so we said "okay, women".

Used to be,iirc, man in that context was neutral. only when feminism hit did people see it as gendered, in English. We got it by way of German though and they have gendered words. Not sure of the history of its usage there

gender used to mean biological sex too

and how we got gender as separate is a fucked up story.
