Commentary: The debate over rape culture Is generational

After the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings, partisan lines were immediately drawn. On one side, Kavanaugh was the clear victim: a respectable judge caught in the crosshairs of a partisan smear campaign. And on the other side was Christine Blasey Ford: another woman who fell victim to sexual assault and understandably stayed quiet and suffered immeasurable consequences that would span a lifetime once she came forward.

Personal opinion aside, the amount of response I have heard describing the former from women has been astounding. Full disclosure: The women I have heard describing Kavanaugh in parroted Trump words weren’t young.
