pretend that women - as embodied in their wives - believe them.
It is one sad scene isn't it. The wife almost always looks like she has a gun to her head.

When our state Treasury Rob McCord got in trouble for shaking down contractors for donations, his wife was no where to be seen. She didn’t want the political life. When he got sentenced, his brother and his sons were at the hearing. By time it got to that point, she had divorced his backside.

She was the exception to the rule. Bravo for her.

I suppose Kavanaugh’s wife believes him or doesn’t care..

children 8 and 10, his wife immediately filed for divorce, left the state and changed her name (and their kids).

Giordano is now in the 15th year of a 37 year sentence. Good riddance to human filth like that.

It is easy to post YouTube videos. Just copy the video’s url from the navigation bar & paste it into the body of your poet. Preview to make sure it’s the correct address and then post your reply.

I’m posting from my iPhone, but it is the same method on any kind of smart phone.

of the gang rape of the 12 year old.

She knew it happened. She knew he was guilty. Still married him. Still had children with him. Daughters at that.


Boggles the mind.

They blamed the little girl and her parents. They blamed people making too much out of nothing. They claimed it was consensual. They didn't care because the little girl was someone that didn't matter to them. She wasn't one of them.

That seems to count for a heck of a lot nowadays. Like "free pass for any and all past misdeeds" kind of count.

especially these young girls brought up in right wing churches. They don't know there are other options.

I worked with a young woman who was 26. She belonged to on of those super strict churches. Lived at home. Wore long skirts. Sewed all her own clothes. She had to call home to get her father's permission to go to lunch with other employees.

She attended one if those strict church colleges. She became a math teacher and got married to another super strict male in her religion.

She's probably very Christian conservative. So many of those kind of women refuse to believe their husbands are deviants. They believe that their husband is the head of the household and that is the way God wants it. She might secretly be disgusted by him and maybe even believe the allegations. But she probably just prays to God to give her the strength to be a good wife and mother and God will take care of the rest.

I also wonder how Mrs. Kavanaugh managed to only have 2 daughters. Was she taking those "abortion inducing drugs"? aka birth control pills.
