Tribalism
Tribalism. This is what we are seeing with Kavanaugh. Is he guilty because there’s evidence, or because there’s witnesses, or because a court found him guilty following all those other things? No, he’s guilty because he’s part of the “man tribe”, and a member of the “woman tribe” has accused him. He is guilty solely because he’s male. And probably also because he’s white, and Christian, and conservative. I am disturbed by how many women have already decided he’s guilty. They don’t care there’s no proof. They don’t care that the accuser is shady as hell. All I keep seeing is women who had “something happen” to them, and so that makes this man also guilty because he happens to be a part of the same tribe as the guy who harmed them.
