Women Thank Dr. Christine Blasey Ford on Twitter After Kavanaugh Hearing

Men, it’s real basic. Don’t be a fool. Respect women. Don’t be a slimeball or a come on. Speak up when women are not respected. Keep yourself to yourself and your words restrained. Watch the alcohol. Be decent and kind to women. #KavanaughHearings

Dr. Ford is doing amazing. Thank you for your courage. I didn’t realize how tense I was until they called for lunch #KavanaughHearings

The courage of Dr. Ford is awe inspiring and tear inducing. Justice may not ever come, a reality most survivors know all too well, but today, Dr. Ford’s words, her sacrifice gives light and a voice to all survivors who are just now learning to use their voice. #KavanaughHearings

As a survivor of sexual assault, it’s empowering to watch Dr. Ford stand there strong & vulnerable & speak her truth to the entire world. No matter how this goes, we are disrupting a toxic system and this is just the beginning for women, minorities and 🏳️‍🌈. Together.

Dr. Ford, I am in awe of your bravery.

On the day of her grandmother’s funeral, Dr. Ford took her polygraph. Despite a fear of flying, she took 2 cross country flights to handle this. Despite tremendous anxiety at every step, she kept making calls. Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s going forward despite it.

I cried listening to the testimony of Dr. Ford this morning during my commute. I cried because the truth of her words rings clear to anyone with a functioning brain and moral compass. That she is required to publicly relive her trauma for a gang of elite men is beyond repulsive.

Dr. Ford is facing her fears . . .the fear of flying, the fear of this testimony, the fear of going public & what that means for her & her family, the fear of the memories of what happened. She is a woman of great courage & this nation should be grateful we have such people here.

Sexual assault is about the abusive use of power. Today we saw a woman, victim of such trauma, use the power of her person to teach the nation what courage, power and persistence is truly about. Like so many, I am in tears. Thank you Dr. Ford. #Kavanaugh
