Looking back at the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings — sorry, “circus” — the whole affair seems like a fever dream Neither Kavanaugh nor his accuser came out of the affair with their dignity intact, in my opinion. And I would not say that the fitness of anyone, male or female, for a responsible position in government should be determined by a charge of alleged misbehavior as an adolescent. This may open me to charges of excusing male boorishness simply because “boys will be boys”, which is another way of saying, “teenaged boys will often act like idiots, but most of them will grow out of it, eventually.”
"Between the social conservatism of the right and the hysterical neo-puritanism of the Left, women are trapped in a vice." vice vs. vise both are correct double entendre?

FWIW: the link to part VI ("this way to part VI") is broken; from the URL I suspect it goes to a page only you can access. The proper one is https://claireberlinski.substack.com/p/the-years-of-living-hysterically-b0d . (What a great cycle, for all I do and don't agree with.)
