Just when the end seemed in sight for Brett Kavanaugh—the confirmation vote on his nomination to the #SupremeCourt less than a week away, after a hearing that had turned up no more than the usual partisan angst—Christine Blasey Ford decided to put her name to a devastating accusation. The California college professor charged that, some 36 years prior, when they were both in high school, #Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her. It was a hazy accusation: hesitantly lodged, short on detail and curiously timed. But Ford’s charge shattered Kavanaugh’s carefully crafted tableau, calling into doubt the image he projected as a champion of #women. Kavanaugh’s vote was postponed, and he and Ford were invited to testify before the committee on Sept. 24. The prospect of such an extraordinary public hearing conjured obvious parallels to #AnitaHill and #ClarenceThomas. But while the political spectacle may be similar, this battle will unfold in a different era. Every week brings new variations on the theme of women, racked with pain and rage, rising up in protest after too many years of trauma and terrified silence. Every week, too, has brought fresh reminders of the extent to which our whole reality is the product of the privilege and prejudices of entitled men. Kavanaugh "unequivocally” rejects the charge made against him. The White House has stood behind him, and his supporters say he is determined to surmount this last-minute obstacle. His opponents say this must be the time when the scales tip in the other direction. With a few weeks to go until the first national election of the Trump era, one in which all signs point to a tsunami of female rage as the decisive factor, a dramatic face-off between Kavanaugh and his accuser may be on the horizon—a showdown between two individuals and their memories of what did or didn’t happen so many years ago. But the stakes go beyond that, to who is believed and who decides the truth at this turbulent moment in America. Read this week’s cover story on TIME.com.
