(76 posts)I am sure there are many woman out there who would love to step up but are afraid to do so. The "Russian" tactic of disappearing opponents weighs heavily on some minds. If women could be promised safety and security, thousands would step forward. We need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission for women, girls, men and boys who want to step forward and expose their sexual abusers.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)True he never belonged in the Senate or had time to settle in, but they seem to be breaking all records casting him off. A handful seem to be tossing in an "If true" after the rope. He promised to be an embarrassment in many ways anyway, but looks like they think they know something.

(13,468 posts)The Evangelicals will RACE to the polls to vote for him, they seem to believe that the more disgusting the candidate, the more they are working for God. That is what most of them have become.

(2,857 posts)But you are right, especially back then. My daughter is 22 and has been out of highschool 4 years.. When she was in 6th grade, 10 years ago, I was her cheerleading sponsor for the youth team. The next year she quit that, but kept me informed on what the other little girls were doing. One of them had gotten pregnant in 7th grade which I think would have made her 13. Another one got pregnant the next year at 14. It was shocking to me, but that happens. My own aunt got married to her first husband at 14 in the early 70's. Pretty sad.

"Even if you accept the Washington Posts report as being completely true, its much ado about very little."

The depth of partisanship and misogyny that's systemic there with Republicans can easily lead to validation of even abuse against a 14-year old girl.

(16,204 posts)Trump supporters don't care as long as the authority they back is in power. Its a feature of right wing authoritarianism that their faith in the chosen authorities cannot be shaken.
