As a man I don’t have to deal with the rape culture directly. There was a time when I would allow my image of a person decide if there was credibility in their accusations. I have since then ,as i have come to see how women have been devalued released that type of conditioned belief system ; I have told myself not to make any assumptions about accusations that have been brought forth. Many of my friends ( women) have just assumed the woman that has came forth against kavanaugh is lying. I’ve asked what’s your basis ? Answer has been 😕he is a democrat . I of course know this isn’t the only reason people don’t believe her story , but I find it hard to see some women saying that when so many I have talked to have had similar experiences. Just a ah ha moment I guess! Anyway hopefully some type of resolution comes out of this .

I think Many women have both witnessed and/or experienced Very similar things....or been living in a basement somewhere. Denial is a recognized defense against horror.

I'm worried that trial by public opinion might replace trial by law.

I can understand your concern, however, public opinion would only make it harder to pick a jury. Not saying that I couldn't be done, but it might be made more difficult if everyone, using the term loosely, already had an opinion. If push comes to shove, they can have a bench trial instead of a jury.
