Well now you've piqued my curiosity
Politics And Current Events
Not sure if serious.Have you ever been to a party with girls that age?I don't think she is lying per se.
I think she doesn't know who/what/when/where because they were all drunk*, and so she is filling in the blanks, as it were.
* - Her attorney admitted the accuser had "a beer" in her interview this morning. No teenager in Earth's history had "a beer" at a party.
I'd be surprised if any 15 year old girl gets a whole beer down. They usually take two sips and put it down, it's why the term "floater" was invented.

Yeah, I'm just saying there's plenty of reason to believe that this woman would just have a "beer" at parties that age.

Well, I knew plenty that didn't. So while assuming one way or another is probably wrong, you can't dismiss the woman's story on that ground.This post set off my "wut" detector too.

I have never been to a party that didn’t have jungle juice or some kind of liquor concoction. So while she says she only had one beer, she makes no mention if she had any other type of drink.

Like you just said they block out the traumatic event. Yet she remembers every detail of the traumatic event but nothing leading to it or after it. That is the complete opposite of what normally happens.This is completely normal behavior for survivors of traumatic events. Not just something of this nature, but trauma, generally. I mean, this is sort of where the term 'triggered' kind comes from. Small details specific to the actual trauma often follow a person through their lives, even if they block out the traumatic event itself.So she can remember not only that she had one beer, but that everyone except Kavanaugh and Judge also had one beer, yet she cannot remember when this happened, where this happened, who owned the house, or how she got there or got home.

Not really. It's not a black and white situation in regard to what is remembered vs what is repressed.
Politics And Current Events
None of those even approach the level of coverage this will, as you well know. There also isn’t a huge time gap between the purported event and the reporting of it. But yes, we can go around and find stories of all sorts of things people do. I bet I could find stories of teenage boys who sexually assault girls to support my belief that it happened. My point is that based on what we know so far, I think she’s telling the truth about the event. I think she believes it was Kavanaugh. Whether or not it was is more questionable.People make up stuff even when they know it will cause lots of scrutiny and press coverage. Crystal Mangum fabricated the Duke lacrosse rape hoax.[1] "Jackie" fabricated the UVA rape hoax.[2] A former women's basketball player at the University of Nebraska faked an anti-lesbian hate crime and even carved "derogatory" words into her own skin[3] because " she thought it would inspire change in the treatment of gay people."[4] A Claremont McKenna College psychology professor vandalized her own car with racist slogans and then claimed to be the victim of a racist hate crime.[5] People make stuff up in order to get attention even when they know they will face pushback and scrutiny. It still happens.You’re glossing over the fact that her life will be completely exposed, she is fodder for every pundit, news show, and hockey forum, and will be reviled by a large group of people. Those things are certainties. That’s an awful lot of weight to put on a lie. The savior plot is very, very unlikely.

It's probably not even a case of those details being repressed. She might just not remember unimportant details from 40 years ago.
Thinking back, I can clearly remember many 'highlights' from parties around that same time period, but details like exactly when, where, how I got there, etc. not so much.

That duke lacrosse one was very widely reported. Of course social media wasn’t what it is today, so in that regard yes it will be more widely covered.

I find it hard to believe that the circumstance didn't happen. Meaning that she was a party with Judge and Cavanaugh and was in a room with them. But it's definitely plausible that she is not remembering what happened correctly. Maybe she felt threatened, but they were not behaving in a way that warranted that, and she has remembered the events differently in order to validate that fear she had as a teenager.
So yeah, this is a hazy situation and if this is an isolated incident, it probably shouldn't derail this confirmation. But as I stated yesterday, his misleading, and potentially false testimony in his prior confirmation hearing should be the real story, but this is the "sexy" story that will get all the press coverage, while the real reason he shouldn't be confirmed is being ignored.

1. Not remembering correctly what happened with Judge and Kavanaugh
2. It happened exactly as she said it
3. They were kissing but Kavanaugh tried to go further than she wanted
4. It wasn’t Judge and Kavanaugh in the room but other people.

Yes, that’s true. But I highly doubt that she went into that knowing how the case would end up being reported.

She didn’t accuse Joe Schmoe of raping her, she accused 3 people on a sports team from a prestigious university of raping her. How wouldn’t she have known it would go?
Politics And Current Events
On the lacrosse team, right after it happened. I’m sure she knew there would be some coverage, but doubt she was thinking about how wide spread it would eventually become. The situations aren’t comparable in terms of the accuser anticipating backlash.

A man was arrested after he was caught pulling down his pants and rubbing produce on his buttocks, then putting the items back on the shelves at a Northern Virginia grocery store, police said.
It was reported to Manassas city police by a loss prevention employee at the store who witnessed the man “picking up produce, pulling down his pants, rubbing the produce on his buttocks, and replacing the produce back on the shelf,” police said in a statement.
