First, I've been sexually assaulted. It happened when I was eighteen, many years ago. So I could have biases about how the woman was both treated and not believed or with how the vote went. Should this outcome upset me? I've met a few woman that are really upset by this. Is it about womens' rights? Is it about a man winning over a woman? Is it about sexual assault? Is it about my sexual assault? I guess what I'd really like to know is this: does your own personal experience with sexual assault, your own, your sister's, your friend's, your mother's, influence how you view how you see the Kavanaugh outcome? If not, why not? If so, why so? I can't muster up moral outrage over it. I don't view it as some kind of setback for women. To see it that way seems divisionary to me. I personally don't believe her. That doesn't mean I'm on Kavanaugh's side. When I listened to her on television, I simply didn't believe her. It doesn't mean I'm happy for Kavanaugh. I have no side. People are very quick to make assumptions about you if you say something like: I don't believe her. I'm not on any one's side. Because I think taking sides is pointless and only hurts the person taking a side. Divide and conquer is a control mechanism. I'm sorry if this hurts anyone, as that's not my intention.
