| Ruth Bader Ginsburg Talks About Her Own 'MeToo' Moment |
| 2018-02-14 |
| Excerpt: [Townhall] Ginsburg also recounted her own story of harassment that she experienced when she was a student at Cornell. She said she asked a chemistry professor for additional help and he gave her what he called "practice exam." Ginsburg learned the next day that the practice exam he had given her was the real exam. She said she was outraged. "I knew just what he expected in return," she said, saying she went back to him and asked "how dare you?" "There were many incidents like that," she added, "but in those days the attitude was, 'what can we do about it? Nothing. Boys will be boys.'" |

| #23 To hell with that biatch. I forget (and am too lazy to look it up with a popular Internet search engine), but wasn't this scag all for lowering the age of consent or something like that? |

| #19 On the other hand, rjschwarz, just image: suppose she failed the exam and didn't get into pre-law... |

| #18 "I knew that he expected" Perhaps he expected to help a female student in need of help in an age when the law was male dominated. Perhaps he grabbed the wrong test by accident. Since he didn't actually demand anything she is guessing and besmirching his character. I had no opinion about Judge Ginsburg but now I think she's a bad person, slandering a teacher just to join up in the victim brigade. |

| #15 She's been in the news a lot lately. Let's hope it is her swan song. |

| #14 It was a psychological ploy by the professor to put her at ease, as is the case with students having trouble with a course. I was down this road a few times, and I don't go whining to a fucking journalist about it. |

| #13 I thought it was okay for women to get the questions in advance. You know like when preparing for a presidential debate. |

| #12 It strains credulity that any man would want anything from her. Posted by B. Thater I can think of one 'want' that might not 'strain credulity.' |

| #11 She asked her instructor for additional help, and she got exactly what she asked for. Decades later she puts a PC compatible spin on it in a bid for public attention. What a crock! |

| #8 The real question is: Did she offer beforehand? |

| #7 You've given the American People and their Constitution a good number of #MeToo moments. |

| #6 What he probably said: "You can take a practice exam to prepare for the exam." What she heard was: "I'd like to grab you by the *&%%y." Case of wishful thinking? Left-wing psychological projection? |

| #5 How would she learn "the next day" that the practice exam he had given her was the real exam? By taking it? That would be cheating. |

| #4 The fact that she still failed the real-real exam. |

| #3 "Ginsburg learned the next day that the practice exam he had given her was the real exam" Something is missing in that story |

| #2 "I knew that he expected", and did you pay? |

| #1 But of course the Cornell professor is not here to defend his actions. How could he be? So few people live to be 163 years old. Please file under hond bites feeding hand. |
