along with reporting an amazing amount of anti-woman op-eds/columns. No wonder he doesn't want to testify.

Mark Judge

Today’s social justice warriors don’t like a sexy damsel in distress.

(Snip)

Today’s social justice warriors aren’t comfortable with the shadow. Like the censors of the 1950s, they are forever trying to block, eradicate, change or stamp it out. They’re the people that Vanity Fair’s James Wolcott calls our “hall monitors.” Thus a simple and effective car ad that celebrates a young man’s bravery in the name of love gets described as “rapey.” Hollywood films, from American Beauty to Foxcatcher, neuter men who are passionate leaders in fields of the military or sports. Every sitcom dad seems to be an ineffectual schlub.

In comparison, the criminals, cops, junkies, hit-men and sex-obsessives found in Hard Case Crime seem fully alive. They aren’t liberals, but they also aren’t lad culture conservatives—juveniles like Gavin McInnes, always dropping his pants to get a reaction from the feminists.

Every man who’s fit to live has his own stories about the time, like a Hard Case character, he ducked the police, got in over his head with money, or abandoned himself in pursuit of love or sex. We’ve all climbed up windowsills, driven all night, and gotten into fights over a girl. Of course, a man must be able to read a woman’s signals, and it’s a good thing that feminism is teaching young men that no means no and yes means yes. But there’s also that ambiguous middle ground, where the woman seems interested and indicates, whether verbally or not, that the man needs to prove himself to her. And if that man is any kind of man, he’ll allow himself to feel the awesome power, the wonderful beauty, of uncontrollable male passion.

Hard Case Crime, and pulp fiction in general, is not about controlling and hurting women, although there’s some of that. It’s an expression of authentic male passion, of sweaty sexiness, in a world of pajama boys, government-mandated health food, and reactionary conservative blowhards.

Does he mean the movie where a grown man lusts after a child and is murdered because some gunfucker mistakenly thinks the grown man was lusting after a different child?

That movie?

He apologizes to the crew for "growing aggressive after blowing still another game of dice" admitting &quot don't recall)"
This is an excerpt from an email thread btwn Kavanaugh and his buddies about a boat trip in Annapolis in 2001.


Tim Dickinson @7im

this is consistent with getting blackout drunk. whatever happened Kavanaugh was not proud of it:

"Reminders to everyone to be very, very vigilant w/r/t confidentiality on all issues and all fronts, including with spouses."
Also judge a man by the company he keeps. Another message on the thread:

"Subject: su ching is booked
Boys,
Although you may be hoping that I've lined up a hostess for a rub-n-tug massage session, "su Ching" actually is the sailboat (a Tayana 55)..."...cont...
