Attempted Rape? Probably not.

The media is acting as though it's a given that if Christine Blasey Ford isn't mistaken or lying that Kavanaugh was trying to rape her but that's far from clear based on what Christine Blasey Ford has said.

What rapist have you heard of that when the intended victim breaks free for a moment but is still just a foot or two away doesn't pursue her? According to Christine Blasey Ford she got off the bed and fled to the bathroom. She makes no mention of Kavanaugh pursuing her.

On the other hand if her attacker, assuming there was one, was a drunk 17 year old who thought she was interested in him and who approached her far too aggressively his not pursuing her makes sense; it finally got through his drunken brain that she wasn't interested.

His trying to stop her screaming could have been nothing more than panic; he thought she was interested and he didn't want to be embarrassed by having his stupid advance called out.

This doesn't prove that the alleged--have you noticed that the same media who calls criminals caught in the act "alleged perpetrators" is acting as though Kavanaugh has been convicted in a court of law?--attack wasn't an attempted rape but it points out that Christine Blasey Ford's claim that it was an attempted rape is based solely on her perception not on facts like his pulling off his pants after he'd ripped off her clothes.

She may be right but then she says she was traumatized so her judgement may not have been the best.

Of course even if it was just a drunken pass rather than attempted rape it's not a good thing but given that the Democrats are perfectly comfortable with Democrat Senator Corey Booker having admitted to grabbing a woman without her permission,Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown being physically violent with his wife, or Democrat Senator Tom Carper who admits to giving his wife a black eye it's unclear on what basis they're going to use a drunken, never repeated, pass decades ago to say that Kavanaugh is unfit.

The continual stalling by Christine Blasey Ford indicates that she doesn't think she is credible. She's had over a month to prepare but she's still claiming she's such a wilting flower that she can't testify; though she had no problem condemning Kavanaugh in the WaPo.

All Christine Blasey Ford's is doing is discrediting women who have really been raped.
