Brett Kavanaugh: Monumental Douchebag

Brett Kavanaugh should not be on the Supreme Court. He had been accused of sexual assault by two women--Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez. This should be enough to conclude that Kavanaugh is morally unfit to be a Supreme Court justice. Back in the nineties, Kavanaugh was on Kenneth Starr's staff. Kavanaugh wrote that Bill Clinton's "misdeeds" had "disgraced his office." Kavanaugh seems to have engaged in behavior even worse than Clinton, making him the bigger disgrace.

The first incident took place sometime around 1981-1982. Kavanaugh was a student at the Georgetown Preparatory School, which is run by Jesuits. Apparently, the atmosphere at the school recalled an awful teen-exploitation movie from the early eighties; booze, sex, and obnoxious behavior. So much for a Catholic education. The second incident occurred when Kavanaugh and Ramirez were students at Yale. How does an asshole like him get away with it?

MeToo# is Totalitarian Feminism

The recent case of NY University Professor Avita Ronell, who was found to have sexually harassed a male student named Nimrod Reitman, tells us a lot about MeToo# and Radical feminism. Many prominent feminists defended Ronell, which makes us wonder what happened to "believing the victim." Its clear that these feminists believe that only males can be "sexual "predators."

It would be good to remember Daphne Patai's 1998 book "Heterophobia: Sexual Harassment and the Future of Feminism" that there is a strain of radical feminism--Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin--who are actively opposed to heterosexuality and are using claims of sexual harassment to promote their anti-male, anti-heterosexual agenda.

We should have learned back in the twentieth century, that repressive and intolerant movements that adopt a stance of "the ends justify the means" are not really progressive.

White Female Privilege is Also a Menace

Amber Guyger, a police officer with the Dallas PD, killed a black man named Botham Jean. She entered his apartment and shot him dead. She claims that she entered Jean's apartment by mistake. Some witnesses dispute Guyger's account. But even if true, she must be a very stupid person, someone who shouldn't own guns, let alone work as a police officer. Then again maybe Guyger was asserting her White Privilege: to be able to kill a non-white person and get away with it.
