Folks, this is my opinion about Dr. Christine Blasey Ford who has accepted the US Senate Judiciary Committee's request to testify on Ford's allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school.
Don't you think the FBI should ascertain first if the incident truly happened before she faces the Senate which is predominantly pro Kavanaugh?
Many things are happening now in the US which do not reverberate in our country. The women in the Metoo Movement, an action of American women to present to the public the sexual harassment they had suffered in the hands of prominent men in society --bosses in Hollywood, corporations, and now this -- a judge nominee to the Supreme Court.
How come we don't find the same focus among our women here?
When sexual harassment occurs, the victims suffer psychologically, internalizing the experience unless they are able to express it to somebody else, usually a counsellor or a psychiatrist.
Dr. Blasey suffered for many years and she was able to recover from it . But she has a husband who understood what she was going through and so was able not to feel so tormented by the memory of the event.
What happened to her? On September 16, 2018, she publicly alleged that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in 1982, in what she described as an attempted rape at a high school party.
Although the incident happened more than 30 years ago, still the incident is grave enough to rattle the moral reputation of Kavanaugh as a member-to-be of the Supreme Court, which should count among its members justices who are honest, just, truthful, humane and respecter of women.
