Well, Mags, there is no comparison between Larry Nassar's sexual abuse of hundreds of girls under the guise of medical treatment and any of the events surrounding Kavanaugh.
The young teen girls did not allow themselves to be abused because they wanted gold medals, as you appeared to suggest.
And, there's no evidence whatsoever that the girls' parents allowed their children to be sexually abused because they cared more about gold medals than they cared about their daughters, as you later claimed/clarified.
The parents of the girls are more similar to the parents of boys abused by Catholic priests -- the abuser was in a highly trusted position and was assisted (wittingly and sometimes unwittingly) in serial abusing by Church officials. The Catholic parents weren't responsible for the abuse of their little boys either.
And, no women's movement or political party led to Nassar's reputation being smeared, as you believe is the case with Kavanaugh.
Nassar's terrible crimes have nothing to do with 'the defeat of ideology', or Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation, or politics. That's my point.
