When it's in the public spotlight and could sway major political things and outside of the circle of people who have earned your trust, it's different standards. You don't blindly believe them. It needs to be based on facts and hard evidence, or else anyone that someone doesn't like could be taken down at the flip of a switch.

Now that I think about it, this could have happened the other way. We could have a judge nominee we really like facing a rape allegation. I'm sure I'll be emphasing on evidence if that happened.

Maybe we're just blinded by sentiments and scared of how Kavanaugh would influence the judiciary landscape once he gets there.

If a woman tells you she's a victim of rape, you don't need to be super skeptical. If she's your friend or family or co-worker, you don't need evidence to decide she deserves the benefit of any doubt and that you should believe her.

I know a few over here. The fact that a woman trusts you enough to confide in you in something.

That's it.

I'm out!
