Recidivism is a classic problem with women that have been abused.
Ms. Conway is a classic case of an abused woman in recidivism. She is unable to unburden herself with the assault and may still be involved with the person that attacked her. She may feel she is dependent on this person for one reason or another and cannot move against the attacker. That doesn't mean it is her husband either.
Then there is the strong social culture in the USA that oppresses women from speaking out or moving against their attacker or abuser. Often women are no longer given the chance to have a voice because they are no longer alive. Sometimes, but, rarely a murder investigation will result in fact finding and trials, but, then there is also Emmett Till. That is the danger of a society that oppresses women and punishes them financially or allows their abusers/attackers to walk free or are handed a light sentence.
I have a great deal of sympathy for Ms. Conway, I imagine the world of politics is especially chancy, worrisome and edgy. I hope she will eventually come to terms with her attack and resolve any issues that still exist because of it. Perhaps a therapist through her government mental health program would help.
When a woman states to another woman she needs to take responsibility for her behavior that compromised her, that is called "Victimizing the Victim." I am assuming Ms. Conway is referring to drinking in the report by Dr. Ford. That is not the reason for the attack. She was compromised and instead of being a gentleman, Mr. Kavanaugh decided he could fulfill his male ego with an onlooker and cheerleader in Mr. Judge. There is no doubt Dr. Ford was a victim and had no intention of engaging in intercourse.
From the sounds of Dr. Ford's description of the events of the day, Mr. Kavanaugh and she did not know each other well as they went to different schools while still living in the same town. It sounds like a perfect opportunity for sexual assault as she would run away and never be heard from again. IT WORKED, until recently.
The slut shaming of "Everyone must take responsibility for their own behavior," assumes Dr. Ford's path that day was to become a slut. From her reporting that was not the case. Slut Shaming is what she experienced that day when she was assaulted. The men laughed as if they were enjoying the moment. That was oppressive and confusing and left her alone in a place and in a way she had no experience with and at the same time was grateful for the "chance" of getting away and SAVING HER OWN LIFE. She stated she believed her life was in danger because Mr. Kavanaugh was so drunk he could not measure his strength against her and she thought for sure he would kill her by mistake.
I strongly suggest Ms. Conway deal with her own sexual assault before she speaks out about women that come forward and seek justice.
No, all men when drunk behave in the way Mr. Kavanaugh did. He has a real problem.

Kellyanne Conway (click here) cleared her throat for what she was about to say.
“I’m a victim of sexual assault,” President Trump’s adviser told CNN on Sunday....
...“I don’t expect Judge Kavanaugh or Jake Tapper or [Arizona Republican Senator] Jeff Flake or anybody to be held responsible for that,” she said, appearing to speak about her own experience. “You have to be responsible for your own conduct.”...
There can be no ambivalence when investigating sexual assault. The FBI needs to have a free rein to do as they need to do and obtain complete and concise information. The US Senate Judiciary Committee in stating the FBI will be limited to one more witness of Mr. Kavanaugh's sexual assault and victimization of girls; is creating a "Designer Report." I do believe that is illegal.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DEEP STATE IN THE USA. HOWEVER, THOSE THAT BELIEVE DEEP STATES ARE A CONCERN SHOULD CONSIDER RUSSIA AS A POSSIBLE SUBJECT OF THEIR IDEAS.

...Late Saturday, (click here) the president said the FBI probe would be exhaustive, but the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday afternoon said that the supplemental investigation would be limited to “current, credible allegations.” And a lawyer for one woman who has accused Kavanaugh of misconduct said his client had not been contacted.
In brief remarks to reporters before leaving for a rally in West Virginia, the president said the FBI is “all over talking to everybody. . . . They have free rein, they can do whatever they have to do, whatever it is that they do. They’ll be doing things we have never even thought of.”...
There are others that can and should come forward to understand the scope of Mr. Kavanaugh's activities as a younger version and today or at least as recent as 1998. The FBI has to be provided the opportunity of actually conducting an investigation and not in name only.
