This is the year 2018 and there is no such things as, "Boys, will be boys." Of any and all men, relatives (which there are plenty - Irish American family) or otherwise that I have known there was never a motto that as boys growing into men, they were allowed to assault or abuse sexually or in any other way, women.
This is all a culture of abuse the Republicans have practiced for decades and Kavanaugh is just as bad as any of them. The cover-up is rather incredible when realizing Senator Cornyn justed into action to degrade the first woman accuser into nothing but a myth. That is a Republican through and through. They want what they want and by god they will get it.
In recent years women have grown stronger in their resolve to end the sexual harassment of the gender in any form it takes, including assault and rape. There is not a woman in this country that should be degrading their arguments, but, instead standing with them in #MeToo, which is now a global phenomena.
There is not a man I know that is not a hard working man, loves his family and cherishes his wife. They never in any place or any time in their lives were out womanizing or assaulting a woman for their own satisfaction. Enough of this. They are not poor men in many an instance. They, however, are decent men.

A panel of Republican women (click here) have defended Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh following allegations of attempted sexual assault – with one posing the question “What 17-year-old boy hasn’t done this in high school?”
The panel, hosted by CNN, saw the women offer various defenses for Kavanaugh, who is accused by Christine Blasey Ford of an attack at a house party, from questioning the veracity of the allegations to suggesting his actions, if true, were representative of the behavior of most teenagers.
“How can we believe the word of a woman of something that happened 36 years ago. This guy has an impeccable reputation. There is nobody that has spoken ill will about him,” said one of the women, Lourdes Castillo de la Peña, who later added that she would back Kavanaugh even if the allegations proved true.
“As long as that’s an isolated incident, yes … If the person made a mistake and they’ve moved on and they have been a good human being, who are we to judge?” she said....
The #MeToo movement should be revered with it's ability to bring women together in a common identity to strike back at sexual exploitation in any manner that manifests and to SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, (click here) claims he’s representing another woman with “credible evidence” against Brett Kavanaugh. Tweeting late Sunday, the 2020 presidential hopeful said he and his client will “be demanding the opportunity to present testimony to the committee” and that Kavanaugh’s “nomination must be withdrawn.” He added that his client is not Deborah Ramirez, the woman featured in a New Yorker article published Sunday night with a second allegation of sexual assault against Kavanaugh. Avenatti said he’s aware of “significant evidence” that Kavanaugh and his friends targeted women with alcohol and drugs in the 1980s in order to allow “a train” of men to take advantage of them sexually. A Senate Judiciary Committee staffer told the AP late Sunday that the panel is looking into the Ramirez claims as well as the Avenatti report.
Since finding each other, sharing their stories without shame, sharing their pain in whatever manner it came, provided a very decent and respectful platform to remain as feminine as always while taking on the brutish world of sexual exploitation.
This is not going away and ever since the #MeToo movement it will temper the savage beast that some men believe they are entitled to without shame. That has changed and it is not going back. Women of every variety now stands together when another woman comes forward to tell more of the secret society that men have called normal for far too long.
Freedom of speech when it comes to the #MeToo movement is hear to stay. Ladies have a right of passage, too, and it includes respect and that includes the word, "no."
