to question Dr. Ford on their behalf because they think that will soften their image as nasty, misogynistic old douchebags. They'll want their female lawyer to be as mean and biased as they are, but they think a woman can fool people into thinking, incorrectly, they really aren't nasty, misogynistic old douchebags.
