Zander Pryor-more Kavanaugh allegations

Kavanaugh continues to have a poor week as a second accuser emerges. She alleges that he exposed himself to her while they attended a party. Both Kavanaugh and the white house have claimed these allegations are completely false and that this is a "smear" campaign, merely to ruin his chances at being confirmed.

To be perfectly honest, I can't say I'm surprised by these allegations. Sexual predators are often chronic. I've yet to hear a story about a predator who only offended once.  This story reminds me of, in an odd way, the asylums of the 20th century. Many non mentally ill people particularly women were not believed. Quite often they were diagnosed with "hysteria" despite being fine. I can only hope that we've progressed enough as a society to be able to listen to women without immediately deeming them to be "hysterical "
