Among certain kinds of intellects, putting words in other people’s mouths makes a profound point.
If this kind of intellectualism resonates with you then prepare to be blown away!
The following is a mix of emotionalism, deception, and irrationality which I’ll assign to John Pavlovitz as his point of view.

A Message from A Liar
To Young Women of America,
You don’t matter.
Not your trauma or your pain,
not the innocence you lose,
not the damage you sustain,
not the scars you are marked by,
not the nightmares you are haunted by,
not the peace you no longer find,
not the confidence that leaves you,
not the fear that is ever present,
not the shame that you cannot shake,
not the silence you are imprisoned by.
All that matters is me.
Standing on your trauma and pain I will edify myself.
Pretending to care about you helps me sell books.
Pretending to follow Jesus gives me credibility among simpletons.
I don’t think women are very smart.
I think you will allow my words to enrage you.
You’re too stupid to figure out I’m a fraud.
See you at church on Sunday!
Sincerely,
John Pavlovitz

Well done, JB. Surely your version is more accurate.
Oh ouch! Yes, I think you’ve nailed it.
I’ve thought a lot about Christine Blasey Ford lately. Imagine that she is either a trauma victim or spiritually and mentally ill. Regardless, the last thing I would ever do to her is drag her across the senate floor, put her on public display, exploit the heck out of her for political purposes. None of that was loving, none of it was in her best interests, none of it was kind. Her handlers should all be fired. That was actually cruel and inhumane.
