That's what's so troubling about all of this. This male sexual dominance thing
has always been part of our culture. It was in our popular music, as you remind
us, in our movies, in the romance novels. And there was the line between good
girls and naughty girls, the girls who, "asked for it", because of what they
wore or because they walked down a lonely street at night. And if you've been
listening to Democracy Now for the past few days, you've had reminders of those
Anita Hill hearings.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Re: Michael Avenatti Implicates Kavanaugh in Pattern
of Teenage Sexual Assault
My old memory gets forgetful at times, especially when it comes to pulling up
names, but there are many things that are clear as if they had happened
yesterday. I remember the dominant attitude of young men toward women.
"Getting in her pants" was a major goal. We lived in a Macho World, and if we
doubted it, the message was driven home in all sorts of ways. Big brothers and
dads and "worldly" buddies were one good source. What we read, the movies we
went to, the chatter at the ice creamery. And the pop music. So much of our
music drove home the fact that love was just another word for lust. "Her lips
said no, no, no, but there was yes, yes in her eyes".
We young men knew that all we had to do was to keep the pressure on, and the
girl would eventually cave in...and put out. Back before Women's Rights, many
guys in their right minds would not have believed women were our equal. That
was not only a weird concept, but it was a bit unnerving. That "Cave Man"
attitude has been a part of our culture for ever. As much as women have
gained, they still have a long way to go.
While I disagree on many of Judge Cavenaugh's positions, I am deeply concerned
regarding the attitudes of so many of the so called Statesmen in Congress.
"Good old boys" is more like it. As bad as it is, to my way of thinking, to
expose my daughters and grand daughters to a man, or men, who would deny women
the right to self determination, I feel even more unsettled over the thought of
putting into a position of power, a man or group of men who still viewed young
women as sex objects, play mates, toys to be fondled. But that's the sort of
stuff we can never know for certain. Years of practice enables most Womanizers
to hide their inner lust. They wear their conservative exteriors, sit with
their "Ladies" in the front pews, send their own daughters to finishing school
or exclusive private schools, while they quietly do what they can do to keep
women in their place.

Michael Avenatti Implicates Kavanaugh in Pattern of Teenage Sexual
Assault By Adam K. Raymond, New York Magazine
24 September 18
The following is a transcript of an email screenshot posted to Twitter
on Sunday night by attorney Michael J. Avenatti. Avenatti's message is
addressed to Mike Davis, Chief Counsel for Nominations for U.S. Senate
Committee on the Judiciary, with the subject line reading "RE: SCOTUS
- Avenatti claim of evidence."
Dear Mr. Davis:
Thank you for your email. We are aware of significant evidence of
multiple house parties in the Washington, D.C. area during the early
1980s during which Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge and others would
participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs in order to
allow a "train" of men to subsequently gang rape them. There are
multiple witnesses that will corroborate these facts and each of them
must be called to testify publicly.
As a starting point, Senate investigators should pose the following
questions to Judge Kavanaugh without delay and provide the answers to
the American people:
1. Did you ever target one or more women for sex or rape at a house party?
Did you ever assist Mark Judge or others in doing so?
2. Did you ever attend any house party during which a woman was gang
raped or used for sex by multiple men?
3. Did you ever witness a line of men outside of bedroom at any house
party were you understood a woman was in the bedroom being raped or
taken advantage of?
4. Did you ever participate in any sexual conduct with a woman at a
house party whom you understood to be intoxicated or under the
influence of drugs?
5. Did you ever communicate with Mark Judge or anyone else about your
participation in a "train" involving an intoxicated woman?
6. Did you ever object or attempt to prevent one or more men from
participating in the rape, or taking advantage of, a woman at any
house party?
Please note that we will provide additional evidence relating to the
above conduct both to the Committee and the American public in the coming
days.
Regards,
Michael Avenatti

ichael Avenatti, the lawyer for Stormy Daniels, says he is "aware of
significant evidence" that Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh
participated in multiple gang rapes while in high school.
In an email posted to Twitter Sunday night, Avenatti writes that
Kavanaugh, his childhood friend Mark Judge, and others "would
participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs in order to
allow a 'train' of men to subsequently gang rape them."
Avenatti ended the email, which was sent to the chief counsel for
nominations at the Senate Judiciary Committee, by saying that he will
be releasing "additional evidence" of the allegations "in the coming
days." In an interview with Politico, Avenatti said he represents
multiple people who were witnesses to the events described in his
email. One of the people he's representing could be described as a victim, he
said.
On Twitter, Avenatti wrote that he will "be demanding the opportunity
to present testimony" to the Senate Judiciary Committee. It's unclear
if that will happen, but a spokesperson for Judiciary Chairman Charles
Grassley says the committee will attempt to evaluate the claim.
He also tweeted a desire to have Kavanaugh explain the meaning behind
an entry in his yearbook.
In yet another tweet, Avenatti said that his client is not Deborah
Ramirez, the former college classmate of Kavanaugh's whose sexual
misconduct claim against the judge was published by The New Yorker
Sunday night. But there is an anecdote in that story that relates to
Avenatti's claim. The New Yorker quotes an ex-girlfiend of Judge's who
said he told her a story that mirrors the allegations Avenatti is
making.
Prior to his more explicit tweet Sunday, Avenatti teased new dirt on
the 53-year-old Kavanaugh. On Saturday, he tweeted that all
"indications are that Dr. Ford is not alone," a reference to Christine
Ford, who says Kavanaugh attempted to rape her at party when they were
in high school. He followed that Sunday morning with a tweet that
said, "What happens at Georgetown Prep does not stay at Georgetown
Prep." Kavanagh was a student at the elite private school at the time
of the alleged incident with Ford.
