Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsGroup will perform reading of Ford/Kavanaugh hearing with genders reversed
a man will read Ford's testimony. A woman will read Kavanaugh's. The point being, I think, to show how gender bias works. Many said that if a woman behaved like Kavanaugh, she would be called "hysterical".
Heard on radio tonight. No link. Will provide link if I find it.

would have been carried out in a straitjacketed early on in the proceedings.
