That sentiment (of course) would get him hang in the court of current public opinion... but if women can't face that one question truthfully, then men (and many women) will never side with their rhetoric - no matter how heart wrenching it is to admit.

The problem, as I see it, is that things aren't being investigated properly.
Memories of sexual assault being suppressed for decades is a real thing. We all know that.
Political slimy behavior is a real thing. We all know that.
Liars are real. We all know that.
What we don't know is what is happening in this particular case. The FBI has been put in the hot seat, but they should be doing everything they can to ensure that they've conducted the most transparent investigation in the world. They should make sure that it doesn't look like they've conducted a sham investigation. Get rid of the arguments.
Instead, they do a half-assed investigation and only interview a handful of people. So now, regardless of what happens with Judge Kavanaugh today, he'll always have this hanging over his head. Just like Justice Thomas, he'll forever be remembered for these allegations and not for his contributions to justice.
OMG! I wanna marry this woman!
