Body language women had to learn when faced with his violent outrage

Selena Adera🍩 @Selena_Adera 9h9 hours ago
Eyes down so not to fuel your anger;
Jaw clenched so to hold the truth ready to tumble;
Arms close to the body so to look unthreatening;
Holding still, ready to flee if he attacks.

The body language Women had to learn when faced with your violent outrage. #WomensHistoryMonth

He has no self control and he is probably just like that all the time. That's one powerful image of a woman who has seen it before.

He didn't realize the secret Kavanaugh ingredient was white privilege.

I'd look right at that uncontrolled fuckers eyes, and DARE HIM to hit me and go to jail.

Is that because I'm also male? I always thought it was because I pride myself on the ability that if he's unhinged that way and out of emotional control, I've already won the fight....

DU Women, please please enlighten me, and I hope the above statement doesn't make me look like a COMPLETE IDIOT..

Gayle King is wise enough to realize that.

I don't know if that is your response "because you are male" as you suggest or because (perhaps?) you are a large male who can counter the size of someone like R Kelly, but the truth is the approach you suggest (or in fact merely standing up) surely would have been taken by Kelly as countering aggression with aggression and thus likely would have escalated his behavior.

Just seconds after Gail's question triggered him, I told hubby that he's guilty as hell. That was scary.

Wonder what's at the root of this rage psychologically? A mix of stimulants and steroids also involved? Seems he has an attitude in common with Brett Kavanaugh: toxic male privilege.

An article in The Atlantic mentioned, "it might look like a predator’s brutality coming out." Gee, ya think?

When King suggested that he had a thing for women much younger than he, Kelly replied, “I don’t look at ‘much younger than me,’” before brandishing a line that it’s hard to imagine an accused pedophile’s PR team would ever approve of:
“I just look at ‘legal.’”
