Seeing a lot of defensive comments from men on Kavanaugh's supposed behavior, from apologies, to minimizing it, to declaring it "normal".
Before you look foolish, maybe you should review your own life...have you ever acted like this? Would you want your mother, sister, or wife to be subjected to it? Would you be proud if your brother or son acted like this?
Why or why not?
And, in a country with literally 100's of judges, this is the best we can do for ourselves? Really?

The best we can do.........I don't think he is the GOP/rump pick because of his impeccable integrity. 😕
Men, traditionally, across all culture and races, have always defended this type of behavior. As have many women.

And so we should not protest it? Like in Alabama, in the late 60's, the neighbors would call the cops on account of hubby beating the life outta me, we should "try to keep the noise down"

@AnneWimsey I think maybe you may have misunderstood my comment. We absolutely should protest this sort of behavior. I should have put 'the best we can do'... in quotations. I was referring to a line from your post and quoting it. I grew up watching my mother getting beaten, so I am familiar with that environment.

He is a jerk

The world gets more and more terrible everyday because of people like this...

Personally I believed his behaviour is reprehensible and inexcusable. Notice I did not say alleged, and that is because his behavior on several other issues scream that it is his character. To many excuse what they are guilty of, if only in their thoughts.

Listened to a woman ‘forgivng his behavior’ on NPR yesterday, with another ‘countering her,’ saying, “It’s not the act, but the fact he’s now lying about it.” She went on to say (something like), ‘if he’d have acknowledged it, then explained it, we might all understand,’ ‘but as is, he’s just another lier.’ No men sounded to have weighed in..

From the bits & pieces I’ve heard/ read, I wish people would stop describing this as ‘high school,’ he attended a ‘private prep school,’ boys only. There’s an elitism to this guy that will further putrefy the court, so dog bless any Dems working to pin him down.
