It's not men, it's Republicans

Lindsey Graham, Brett Kavanaugh, and the unleashing of white male backlash

[...] Graham is elevating the stakes of the Kavanaugh hearing. No longer is this about Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, or what he may have done to her in suburban Maryland in 1982. It’s about beating back the challenge from feminists and people of color demanding a seat at the table; it is about showing that white men in power are not going anywhere — that they will not listen, will not budge, and will not give ground to #MeToo or the Black Lives Matter movement.

This was always the subtext of the Republican approach to the sexual assault allegations. But now Graham has officially made it the text: Voting “yes” on Kavanaugh is the battle cry of the reactionary man ...

I think this is mostly true, except for one point ... this is a Trump Republican thing, not a male thing. The male Democrats on the Judiciary committee and in the party at large support women's rights and minority rights and all civil rights. It is Trump Republicans, both male and also female, who want to deny dignity and equality to so many. If this were not true, they would not have voted for a confessed serial sexual abuser and obvious racist for president.
