Why did Christine Ford wait 30 years before admitting that she was assaulted?

Better yet, why did these allegations literally never come out when Brett became a judge?

You're smart. You get it. When I want to know the inner workings of someone's thought process, I ask the hobo living behind the dumpster at my work. He's my best source of information. Clearly you and I know more about psychology than Dr. Ford. She must be a fake, a fraud.

Maybe she was afraid of people saying she was making it up? You know… Kinda like you're doing now?

It took 30 years to make it up and she still f'd it up

She was waiting for a large payment from the democrats

"I like beer, ya I like beer, I like to drink beer"

In the 1980s it was hard for any woman to be believed about something like that.

I know other women who have waited decades before admitting they were assaulted; there can be more than one reason.

Sometimes they just feel ashamed, like it was their fault.
Sometimes they feel traumatized and just want to move on.
Sometimes they feel like no one will believe them.
Sometimes they feel "what's the point, justice will never be served anyway". (And often, they're right…)

Often these women hope/expect/assume that they'll never have to deal with their attacker again. Seeing their attacker become something like a Justice of the Supreme Court of the country they live in may change their minds about reporting.

Question 1 She didn't. She told people of it years before the allegations came out.

Question 2 She did not feel compelled to go public, and her position did not have the anger support and publicity, until after

He was nominated. For the supreme Court.

Does not mean it was not true, however,

just not important to her until he was nominated.

Consider, sweet lil ole Bretty was suspected by many of being gay,
maybe even Christine Ford was among the many, especially after he tried,

but did NOT succeed in raping her at that party. Maybe she just wanted to forget, some possibly gay guy tried to force it on her
but failed.

That scenario fits all of everyone's story, except Brett's.
