It's a red herring to talk about how long it took Christine Blasey Ford to speak out about Brett Kavanaugh's alleged sexual assault on her in high school Why now? She must be lying. There are different reasons why women don't speak up about assault, harassment and discrimination until years later ... if at all. Some don't want public exposure. You c***! I hope you die!! Or are worried about backlash. Or how it will affect their careers ... as I feared when I was just starting out. I didn't want to be branded as a troublemaker. Sorry. studio Job openings. T. And never work again. Will animate for food. It's a lose-lose situation for a woman to go public, even if you're proved right in the end.
