When a woman is assaulted is her first reaction to call the "National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline? No, that is not the first thing that comes to a woman's mind. More than likely, women don't even know there are such support systems to them. Why? Because they never imagined SOMEONE THEY KNOW would do such a thing.

What is sexual abuse to a woman?
Sexual Abuse Definition. Sexual abuse is any sort of non-consensual sexual contact. Sexual abuse can happen to men or women of any age. Sexual abuse by a partner/intimate can include derogatory name calling, refusal to use contraception, deliberately causing unwanted physical pain during sex, deliberately passing on sexual diseases or infections and using objects, toys, or other items (e.g. baby oil or lubricants) without consent and to cause pain or humiliation.
I hear Kavanaugh's supporters are crying conspiracy. Really? The only conspiracy is the one that effects thousands upon thousands upon thousands of women every year that holds THEM AS THE PERPETRATOR rather than the victim. And how is that relayed to women? Begin with rape kits that are left without processing. Trials that never happen. Dangers that are never averted and THAT IS JUST THE JUDICIAL END OF THE CONSPIRACY.
So, the conspiracy against Kavanaugh doesn't exist, but, there are always those that like to raise the ire of other men and in this case other Republicans that POOR JUDGE KAVANAUGH is the victim to a conspiracy.
That is not the case. The act by a younger Kavanaugh is true and there is one woman that experienced it and it is only she that can tell the horror of that act by Bret Kavanaugh, but, just like any other women that fell victim to sexual assault and abuse she needed to talk about it. She talked to her friends, they talked to others and for several days after the act the talk about Kavanaugh was about his act of aggression against a woman. That is not a conspiracy, that is fact and unfortunately the truth that may or may not make an impression to enough US Senators to realize his view of the world is not the usual and it is laced with privilege.Bret Kavanaugh has no empathy for women and certainly doesn't care about the issues that impact their lives. I don't want to hear how being a coach of a girls team makes him an expert on women and the real life problems they face. That is ludicrous.
Yes, indeed, get your child a good lawyer to get out of the entire mess before it effects his life.
