Dr. Ford's bathing suit saved her from gang rape.

People shouldn't have to wear bathing suits to parties so that drunken assailants have a few minutes, mid-assault, to think about whether or not they want to follow through on a premeditated felony.

The emotional impact of the assault stymied Dr. Ford from pursuing personal and professional happiness and achievement with the confidence of her similarly talented, similarly diligent, male counterparts.

It's not enough to say that her attackers didn't hurt her.  They did hurt her.

It's unacceptable for perpetrators to lie about sexual misconduct, trying to cast doubt on survivors instead of taking responsibility.  It is particularly unacceptable for people who want to be Supreme Court Justices to lie under oath.

Deborah Ramirez was also credible.

Justice Kavanaugh should have withdrawn.
