When did her claims go from sexual harassment to sexual assault? When did the details of "it happened all at once" begin?
I'm asking because her claims are similar, if not the same as E.J.Carroll's telling of what happened to her with Trump in a department store. I think E.J. also started saying it happened quickly, and then went into the details of an assault that took place in a standing position.
Except, E.J. went into detail about what she was wearing. She was wearing tights that day.
Reade's assault, did she mention anything about panty hose? Because most of us in the business world wore them back in the early nineties.
I hate to even bring this up, because I think women should be heard about the things that they have to endure. But Biden is also right. The Truth should matter. Hard questions are going to be asked from both sides, before this is over.

(46,770 posts)back in the nineties would have adhered to a conservative dress code.
And, when in 1993 did it happen? Do they ever mention a month? Has she been that exact, yet?

Bernie was just on Ali. Said, Joe said it did not happen! He backs Joe and will do everything he can to get Joe elected!
That is the end of his far left supporters. Bernie knows we need Joe.

Thats it.
One time only.
Then we will see who is the REAL sexual abuser.

(17,995 posts)I hated them but the bare legs today do not impress. Panty hose made your legs look great.

(114 posts)Tara Reade wants this to stay in the news. Her story changes every day. I thought about the pantyhose thing as well. Back in 1993, I cant see women working in the US Senators Office not wearing pantyhose. Thats the federal government and its formal even during the summer. I should know, Ive worked for the federal government for 29 years.
Anyway, I still go back to the fact that sexual assault victims DO NOT PRAISE THEIR ATTACKERS!! Thats why I dont understand nobody is even thinking about this! They are just going on with her nonsense as if she never said it or how her story keeps changing over time! I cant believe MSNBC has chosen to engage her in these lies to engage her!
We have about six months left before the November election to come together as ONE and here we are dealing with this woman who clearly has serious issues. She was in love with Joe Biden and because he wouldnt pay any attention to her, she decided to hurt him in any way she can! Think about how she admired Putin without his shirt on. These journalists are being played for fools! They are going to distract people enough that Donald Trump will win this election and well have another four years of pure misery! Stay focused and call this woman out for her lies!

(29,676 posts)I was given a strict dress code. There was a skirt length, how low blouses could dip (no cleavage), no straps showing for bras and no bare shoulders/upper arms.
And yes, pantyhose were required of all office staff, from pages and interns on up.

(17,995 posts)Than the muckrakers on MSNBC.
He simply asked Bernie, Bernie said, Joe said it never happened! I am sure Bernie remembered his past!
The question is, who is paying her?

(994 posts)You are absolutely correct, early nineties women were wearing pantyhose.
Someone should ask her that and see how she changes the story again.

(46,770 posts)I'm short, so they also bunched up in odd places. I'm not saying it's impossible to assault a woman who wore pantyhose. Just that getting through them would have left a memorable struggle. Some hose are quite flexible, I imagine. I just didn't buy those brands.
I read her rendition of what happened, and it sounds like the assault came from the top of the skirt, and not under. I just thought she worded that oddly.
Anyway, I would think it is much easier just to rip the weak spots of pantyhose, than to fight that waistband.
When you're talking about something that will alter someone else's life, details matter. At a minimum, those details should be known.
