I've never been at a party where I suspected that there was an individual rape happening, much less a gang rape. Had I been, the situation would not have continued.
This is you trying to find a way to dismiss what an alleged victim has said, going so far as to focus on someone other than her. When we say "rape culture" we mean this, among other things.
Yes, a person holding security clearances and signing a declaration under oath clearly was mostly worried about perjury...

I’m not addressing the use of “rape culture.” This is a forum for circumspect, mature discourse.* I won’t listen to people using “SJW” or their opponents’ equivalent McLanguage.
On substance, my critique is professional. While I believe this woman’s story in general, I see the work of a lawyer attempting to make it far more incriminating of Kavanaugh than it is or would be if she were deposed in person.
Your last point helps to prove my point. I can tell you how, and it’s obvious to probably everyone else, but I think you’d benefit from the thought exercise.

*Not exactly. But it’s not a freshman year 101 level round table seminar on “trends in social mores,” either.
