CNN has a group of republican women justifying that if kavanaugh did do what was alledged, it is

[still_one]

fine.

What do you say to someone with that kind of mentality.

One was justifying it by saying, "Normal American boys do do things like this"



With all these republican women, they were blaming it on the victim

There is something really f**ked about some women in this country. What it tells me is that these women would have no problem if this was done to their daughters.

As I said these were republican women, but it is unbelievable to me that any woman would have that mindset

[hlthe2b]

1. Surely they were countered? By whom and how many?

[still_one]

9. Probably about 12. I caught it in the middle. They weren't being challeneged because it wasn't

that kind of forum. They were just asked their opinion on this.

It was disgusting

[dlk]

13. No, they ranted and raved with their ignorance

I had to change the channel.

[TheBlackAdder]

48. Since 1970's 45% of women vote paternalistic, mostly due to fundamental / orthodox religions.

[stopbush]

58. Yep. These women are probably 100% Christians. They're told every Sunday

that wives must be submissive to their husbands. Their world view is based on make believe that advances male dominance.

It’s not so much about them speaking as Rs as it’s about them speaking as Christians.

[IluvPitties]

2. If Kavanaugh was a black male who did this...

What would they say?

[IluvPitties]

4. Also, if this is what normal American boys do

Then there is no hope for this country!

[still_one]

10. They werre all white women, and I think they were from Florida, so I think you know the answer to

this

[ProudLib72]

11. A seventeen year old black man (yes, "man") raping white women?!

Find a rope and a tree quick!

That's exactly what they would say.

[LenaBaby61]

27. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[qazplm135]

51. They'd think but not say

That a black male is not a normal American boy.

[IluvPitties]

52. There you go.

[Pachamama]

3. And people ask how its possible that the rate of rape and sexual assault is so high in our nation...

This is so sick when I read or hear about anybody, man or woman, state things like "boys will be boys" or "how can we blame hormonal teenage boys"....

[saidsimplesimon]

5. Many of these women

are "recruited" for the hack job. Most normal people do not crave such media attention. imo

[Jarqui]

6. Why would CNN have women like this on ... ?

[still_one]

14. It was a brief meeting with them, then they returned to there regular panel to discuss it. I think

it was eye opening.

I hope their views don't represent the majority of women, even republicanj women, and I don't think they do

[JI7]

7. fuck them. they are as sleazy as the one they defend

[CatMor]

8. Are they saying ....

it's alright if their sons do it. That is what it seems to be with them.

[gabeana]

12. One said what teenage boy

Hasn't been rough a girl
I'm paraphrasing

[CatMor]

17. When my two sons were teenagers.....

they never did that to the best of my knowledge. No one ever accused them.

[ProfessorGAC]

47. Raising Hand

If she's looking for a teenage boy who DIDN'T do anything like that, i'm raising my hand right now.

She is an idiot. TENS OF MILLIONS of teenage boys never did any such thing.

[still_one]

16. That is exactly what they were saying, but they didn't ask if any of them had children.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

15. Women do different things to survive in the patriarchy. Some fight it. Many white women throw in

with the Republicans to grab a little power and keep other women down.

[still_one]

21. I won't give any leeway to anyone, for any reason to justify sexual assult, especially a women who

justifies it

[WhiskeyGrinder]

25. No one is asking you to. It can be helpful to understand why it happens.

[enough]

18. Is there a link to this? NT

[still_one]

26. This was on the CNN TV feed. I don't know if there is a feed, though I would assume youtube might

pick it up because it was so outrageous

[Freethinker65]

19. Do these women have daughters?

Would these women want their chaste daughters to be forced to carry to term a child produced by their rape by a priveleged teenage boy that considers their teenage daughter to be no more than a one time and out nice piece af ass?

[still_one]

23. That is the question they should have asked the group, though I suspect with this group of

of republican women they would have been just fine with it

[lunasun]

32. Maybe? Republican so God's will, mysterious ways,or God has chosen the father of your child for you.

[Separation]

20. THIS IS GASLIGHTING

On a National Scale

[still_one]

24. I do not believe most women in America subscribe to what these republican women were saying.

[Separation]

30. You misunderstand what gaslighting is then

They (the republicans) are trying to put out a signal or a statement of, "Us women prescribe to this bullshit". So that women watching will say, "oh yea, so do I". Thats gaslighting.

[still_one]

33. Yes I do separation. I also think the movie gaslight light explains perfectly

[Separation]

42. So what was it that I said that was wrong then?

Or did I misunderstand you

[still_one]

43. I think what you said was pretty accurate. It is a form of manipulation. That of course is open to

some interpretation, but in the end it is a deception into making people think something is not what it appears

[Separation]

44. Yep

We are on the same page

[GeorgeGist]

22. They probably liked being grabbed ...

by their pussy.

[lunasun]

28. Republican woman -"Normal American boys do do things like this"

big insult to American men ( the real normal ones who never did this as a teen boy) and normalizing assault of teen girls
I thought they couldn't go any lower

[RhodeIslandOne]

29. They do not care. They will never have an abortion and want that right taken away from others.

ASAP

[Grassy Knoll]

31. CNN Trying Hard To Catch Fox News Viewers...

...So Fucking Sad Some Days.

[ellie]

34. It's assault

So, no, it is not ok. Jesus.

[Demonaut]

35. they have justified that behavior

why?

[blueinredohio]

36. Do they let their sons act this way?

[Ilsa]

39. Yes. I broke up with a man decades ago who

said he was going to encourage his son to get as much ass as he could. I asked if he thought it was okay for boys to treat his daughter this way. He couldn't answer. The man grew up in a privileged neighborhood, college, etc. He was a professional, and was hellbent on improving his social status at every opportunity. Very Republican.

[haele]

59. Yes. Their sons are little princes.

And these sort of women will do anything to protect their precious princes and the family name. So - their opinion is that any girl their son had sex with was consensual, ill advised or not. All those "lying sluts" who entrapped their darling boys were just after the family status or money, and deserve all the scorn and ridicule they're going to get if they try to pin anything on the poor dear.

Those low girls should just keep their mouths shut and feel lucky a boy paid attention to them...
Doesn't matter if the girl came from a good family or not. "Like all good girls, you shouldn't have acted like such a slut and gone to that frat party...make them put a ring on that finger before you take a drink and drop your panties."
On edit. I went to University feeder public school with a couple "high class" kids whose parents didn't want to send them to the local private academies - which were all Christian-based.
This was the attitude their parents had - the little princes could do no wrong and were left to their own devices, and the little princesses were petted and pampered - and were watched like hawks whenever they interacted with us plebes. Most of those kids were pretty f***ed up.

Haele

[JenniferJuniper]

37. "Normal" American boys means white American boys

[Ilsa]

38. They are REPUBLICANS. They are fine with patriarchy,

Authoritarianism, and bigotry towards anyone different or leading a different lifestyle.

[GulfCoast66]

40. This is not what normal American boys do.

I am one. Or was one. No young boy now! White southern and male in my 50’s.

When I was in college in the mid 80’s we caught a guy working hard to undress a passed out young girl in a fraternity room. We put a beat down on him like none I have ever seen and not participated in since. Not saying we should have done so. But we were all somewhat drunk young boys. And we knew right from wrong. Had we called campus police nothing would have happened. And hell, I was politically conservative then!

But we were not from rich families and our mothers worked and we were taught to respect women.

It pisses me off to no end when people say this is what boys do. Bullshit. It is what predators do.

[Awsi Dooger]

41. I clicked away within seconds

But it sounded exactly like my Republican aunt and her female friends.

That's the way they think. Anything and everything is rationalized in favor of Donald Trump and his preferreds.

[Olafjoy]

45. Meet the mothers

These are the women who raise the Brett Kavanaughs.

[Fullduplexxx]

46. Why would cnn even have a panel like that

[titaniumsalute]

49. if these women were raped would they still be OK with it?

For some reason I would say yes. I don't get it.

[HAB911]

50. Submissive wives

no surprise there

[Trueblue Texan]

53. I don't think they believe it's ok...

...I think it's more that denial thing, "It can't happen to me, she must have done something to provoke it." I heard somewhere where women on rape juries are less likely to convict than men because of this mindset.

[spanone]

54. reminds me of this....

[Meowmee]

55. Here is a link

[link:

I wish the media would stop putting these asshats on tv. Last time I checked attempted rape and assault are crimes. First they say they are sure he didn't do this and then they downplay it and justify it saying various things like maybe he just touched her etc and what teenage boy didn't do this, and people can redeem themselves etc wtf? I would say the majority don’t do anything like this or rape etc. One of my father’s friends was raped in highschool by similar athletic types like these vomitous creeps, fortunately they have not been nominated for a sc or high positions anywhere. If this is really the belief patterns of these women and others you can see why some teenage boys may feel it is ok I guess. In my mind though no one commits an assault like this unless the are seriosly disturbed which he and his friend obvioulsy are. I kind of feel like someone paid them to say this.

[still_one]

56. Thanks for posting the link Meow. It was so outrageous and unbelievalbe. While they were

identified as republican women, there is no way this represents the vast majority of women in my view, and in fact, I would argue it doesn't event represent the majority of republican women

[Meowmee]

61. You're welcome😊

I see now they are actually republican operatives, not a surprise. Yep, if they represent a majority of r women we are in big trouble.

[smooth64]

57. CNN always gets these stupid republican groups on

As if there no progressive groups they can't find

[Amaryllis]

60. THere are a lot of women who believe that's just how boys are. I was in a therapy group once and .

one of the women has been sexually abused as a child, and basically shrugged it off, saying something to the effect of, "That's just what men do." That's what she'd been taught. SHe changed her view after being in the group for awhile, but that's what she thought when she first got there.

I don't know if it was one of their daughters how they would feel.

[erpowers]

62. Crazy But Not Surprising

That kind of talk is crazy, but not surprising. I do not know whether these women are from the South, but this type of language is standard operating procedure in many places in this country especially, the South. I have never heard that type of behavior described as normal behavior for an American boy, but I have heard many people blame the women who were attacked and not the men who attacked them. People claimed the women should not have been drunk, they should not have been in a room alone with men, or they should not have dressed the way they were dressed.

I think these women would feel different if it happens to their daughters. I think these women are under the impression that it could never happen to their daughters because their daughters were raised right. Their daughters would never do what the girls who get raped do, which causes them to get raped. That may be another reason people who get raped and assaulted do not report their rapes and sexual assaults when they happen. Assault victims may be afraid to tell their family that they had done the things their families thought caused people to get raped and assaulted.
