So sad because it hasn’t moved the republicans in my life.

... and you're guilty of the same thing.

This is DEEP Republican body culture and ol' boy body language.

It would have been a 24/7 Fox charade.

Men are forceful.

And thus, the conservative man can dismiss.

Been called,” Emotional,” on many of these boards. I just let them know that shows I have many more emotions than hate and fear.

Oh, I have them,too Ladies and Gents, but they are based on my common sense above all. I do not let hate and fear rule me.

That is why I despise Trump and the Republicans, because I remember when they had good Leaders like Dwight Eisenhower but the party has gone downhill ever since starting with Nixon.

I think that they committed a huge mistake, just before the 2018 midterms. Doing this on TV especially. The ugliness I saw on display and thrown out there by the repug senators and Kav will never go away.

Why are we surprised? A rhetorical statement, but w/ the age of rump, this behavior is acceptable by their standards. Lash out at those who threaten them, regardless if you're guilty.

Look at rump, our disgusting so called president. A military school / prep school bully, accused 16 times. 16. This number is burned into my conscience. A sad pathetic, sexual predator no less.

You're right, a woman would have been branded hysterical. A sad commentary on our times that I thought was changing. I think the only way this will change is get rid of ALL of the old generation senators who feel like they are entitled, spoiled, and thus dangerous. We all know who these people are.

Take care, Arkansas Granny!

at their peak snarling viciousness. I don't think those pictures will help the GOP with any voters who are not already art of the unmoving GOP/Trump base.

She would have been publicly reprimanded had she been disrespectful to a Senator, like Kavenaugh was.

And Fox News would have said she’s too emotional and her temperament isn’t suitable for the Supreme Court (or any courtroom).

About this is they all gave many good ads for the up coming election.

Picture an ad of Lindsey Graham, “ I am a white ,single man, being told to shut up, then screeching about Democrats wanting power and hope you never get it!”

Trying to cover their own lust for unbridled Power.

And then we have blubbering,crying Kavananaugh. How dare you?

Remember when Senator Elizabeth Warren tried to read into the record a letter from Coretta Scott King during the Jeff Sessions AG hearing ? Bitch McConnell shut her down with a never-before used opinion. He would NEVER have done that to another man. NEVER.

Remember his comment: "She was warned. She was given an explanation, nevertheless she persisted."

and a woman in his position would NEVER get away with those responses or expressions. Hopefully someday this attitude will change, but aggressive men are frequently considered "go getters" aggressive women are "bitchy".

I thought he sounded like he was raving like a loon, though, not like a go getter.

They can't stand someone like Barack Obama.

know her relation to candidate) whose facial expressions l found extremely interesting. It ranged from concern, to sympathy, to disbelief. The thinly disguised disbelief seemed to be the dominant one. It contrasted sharply afterwards with the explosive anger of the Republicans much of which can be safely described as being directed at women. They seemed ignorant of the fact that all their mothers are women that they claim to respect.

sisters, wives and daughters have experienced or will experience an assault like Dr. Ford described.

was telling. I get that exact same look when I'm disgusted by what I'm seeing and hearing. It must have been all she could do to hold back from grabbing him by the shoulders and telling him to knock it off and quit acting like a complete asshole. She knew he had a few breakfast beers and was out of control and there wasn't anything she could do in the moment to contain it.

I don't think Kavanaugh has stopped abusing. It's easy to picture him beating a woman when he's enraged, which seems to be frequent.

I saw a woman who was disgusted by his behavior and who, behind closed doors, experiences a lot worse.

In her face,dejected, sad. Looked like Melania the day of the inauguration. I saw an abused woman living with a mean drunk.

Graham was absolutely disgusting.

no matter what. They will impose their will.

At some enemy of the group.

thank you - I've been trying to figure out how to describe these simian dominance displays and just how embarrassing they are

He had stood on the table
Stripped off his shirt
Beat on his chest
Given the Tarzan yell

Alpha male stuff.

when going full tantrum. Women would be called loud mouthed bitches.

Can you even imagine if one of our female Senators went on a screaming, threatening diatribe like he did?

White men. They're losing demographically and philosophically. Their day is over and they know it. Lets hope we can limited the damage as they go out.

the words of Mrs. King. And still she persisted!

And scary.

Damn

Damn.....😳

sure sounded terrified to me from her first words.

Some hysterical old white men could take a lesson.

In all their glory, a whole group of them in one place for all of us to see during these hearings.

Such snarling, spittle-flecked, fist-pounding, teary-eyed "I'm SUCH a victim!" hysteria is ONLY reserved for (white) conservative MEN.

THIS enraged fear at losing their place as America's #1 democraphic is one of the primary substances that Trump rode into office upon. (racism, sexism)

Any women behaving that way would be slapped into a straightjacket and escorted directly to the nearest insane asylum (or drunk tank/rehab center) by security and the over-ruling Patriarchy within 10 minutes. BUT - IOIYAR + WM (It's OK if you're a Republican + white male)

They're having a RAGING testosterone-fueled HISSY-FIT because America - and especially America's women - are not doing what they want - not allowing who they want to be easily shoved into one of the most powerful positions in the country - just because the AWM contingent SAID so and historically, what the AWM contingent said they wanted done got DONE.

We're supposed to SIT DOWN, SHUT UP and OBEY like good little "minorities" (even though non-male + non-whites are not a minority in this country)

Kavanaugh’s Testimony Was a Master Class in American Male Entitlement

Why are so many white men so angry?
The last half-century has eroded their advantages, leaving them fuming. <--- this right here is what I'm talkin' about.

Analyzing the psychology of Kavanaugh (and Trump, Hatch, Grassley, etc.)
could take days. But the reaction by him is directly out of the abuser playbook.

Put the focus on the accuser.
Portray yourself as a victim (boo-hoo and tear up whenever you can)
Portray your accuser as a liar who is destroying your great reputation.
Be over-the-top enraged and indignant. The louder you protest, the more innocent you are.
Accuse the accuser of exaggerating, being crazy, vindictive, slutty, drunk, etc.
Excuse your own behavior.
Lie, lie, lie and lie some more -- right to the very end.
