Yeah I agree. It's a situation where it's constantly brought to the forefront in order for it to change. But then it ends up appearing bigger and worse than it needs to be. For some younger females it may appear to be something to be really indignant and personally outraged by, constantly. And it happens at a time in their life when they haven't developed a broader perspective. So it seems massive to them. I tried to provide my daughter with some perspective, since many women think if you don't believe Ford, that means you are on Kavanaugh's side. I don't have a side. I think it's possible to not have a side, even if I don't see Ford's testimony as believable. I actually think there are no sides, we invent them and then choose sides. Then we have a world divided in yet another way.
