![]() ![]() I still see us as being in a moment of incredibly powerful political change, precipitated by women who are willing to be angry right now and women who have been angry throughout our history. Political progress is being made all around, even if part of this story is going to be a long-term serious loss in the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh, we don’t know what the end of that story’s going to be. We’re getting a view of the Republican party’s willingness to defend and overlook the stories of assault of women. That delay, whether or not it results in his withdrawal or loss of the confirmation, is creating its own political result. There are so many foregrounding steps that get us to the fact that allegations of sexual assault brought by women are both working to delay and complicate the confirmation of a man to the Supreme Court who would create long-lasting legal impediments to all kinds of gendered, racial, and economic equality. RT: Well it depends on what you count as ‘working.’ This story goes back so far. ![]()
