      “The deferent and visibly fragile academic...makes a lousy role model for young women today, who are too often fed the message that weakness is their greatest strength.” Damn this is good.https://www.spectator.co.uk/2018/10/why-christine-blasey-fords-testimony-didnt-make-me-cry/ …

      Some good points are made but the tone is completely dismissive. Ford was 15 at the time of the incident, and what she described unsurprisingly left a mental mark. She did move on, she has a full life. She showed courage, not weakness in coming forward regardless of outcome.

      I don't find the tone dismissive. FWIW, I believe her (as Shriver does), and think that neither CBF or BK have the memory/sobriety (at the time) to recollect precisely. I was left with the very real sense that I had met too many guys like him. But also: strength > victimhood.

          So the *telling* of the story is *only* victimhood? Do you believe that? I hear your point Heather, but I have to agree with other commenters that this op-ed is a bit too dismissive of what I saw as a worthwhile unveiling of Mr. Kavanaugh's character, considering the stakes.

          Acknowledging victimhood can take real strength. Telling the truth usually does. People can't always help what happened to them, and they can't always control their reactions. Shaming people for not doing "rape victim" right is as cruel as it is stupid.

          "I believe her" now let's collectively shit on her. Well done. My daughter is a beautiful warrior. Strong mind, strong body, BJJ, striking, wrestling, I try to give her the confidence and skills to not be a victim and defend victims. Not to shit on them like this. Pathetic.

          I’m no fan of victim culture but I also don’t think it’s fair to expect anyone to just accept physical violations of their bodies as a sign of strength, which is the message I got from the piece. FWIW, the conversations resulting from this are important and long overdue.

          Strength>victimhood? What a ridiculous phrase.
