Uh...guys?

I still remember the incident. It involved a guy who had been one of my best friends in high school. We remained close when we went to different colleges, me to Catholic University in D.C., him to a state school in Virginia. He joined a fraternity, and I was soon hearing some wild stories about what went on in the house: drugs, blackout drinking, sex. It didn’t really bother me that much—we had gone to an all-boys high school, and our own adolescent behavior was not exactly preparing us for the seminary.

But then one day my friend was home for summer vacation, and I noticed something in his room. It was an envelope that had been handed to him by one of his fraternity brothers. Inside was a photograph of a naked woman who had passed out at one of their parties. She was posed in the most demeaning, pornographic way imaginable. I held it up to my friend’s face: What the hell was this?

He had at least the decency to look ashamed. He mumbled something about his “crazy frat brother” who liked to do stuff like that. When girls got so drunk they passed out he took pictures of them (and no, conservatives, no woman, no matter how drunk, has “put herself” in that position). Later that same fraternity almost got closed down when it was revealed that they had drilled a hole into the women’s bathroom.

I mean, "state school in Virginia" isn't Yale, unless he's tweaking that detail, but...uh...

Although this passage is more relevant to his high school exploits and pretty innocent:

In high school, some buddies and I always went down to the Eastern Shore every spring for “Beach Week,” the annual exodus of school kids to Ocean City, Maryland. At one party, we all had had a few beers and after the girls had gone home for the night, someone produced a camera and a couple guys started posing nude. It was a raucous evening and the intention was pure self-deprecation: guys were flexing like bodybuilders when they obviously weren’t, doing Mr. Universe poses and quoting Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. We had flirted with girls all night and mostly gotten nowhere (aside from a few kisses), and were now mocking ourselves as macho men. It was hilarious and completely healthy. The idea of stripping a girl naked and photographing her while she was unconscious was as plausible as the idea of walking up to our school headmaster and slapping him across the face. That kind of male self-awareness was completely absent in the fraternities I visited in college. It was replaced by senseless, blunt cruelty—the ethos that, according to the news, still rules America’s fraternities.

Chad Ludington's account of a drunken Kavanaugh starting a bar fight by throwing a cup of beer or ice at a guy is backed up by a police report.

no one found the bar fight police report til now? wtf

[archibaldcrane]

Without charges, it probably wasn't searchable by his name - although the FBI may have known about it. The existence of the bar fight wasn't publicly known until Chad talked about it yesterday (or this morning?)

Gonna be a very bad week

To be fair, an 80s highschooler might have considered pinning some girl to the bed and trying to get her clothes off as further from scoring than a kiss.
