Kavanaugh backer sexually demeaned by nominee in high school yearbook-and she just learned about it

.

It's Raw Story so deal with it.


A woman who backed Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination was referred to disparagingly in the nominee’s high school yearbook.

The New York Times reported Monday that Renate Schroeder Dolphin was referenced in an apparently disrespectful way in Kavanaugh’s 1983 Georgetown Prep yearbook.

In the yearbook, Kavanaugh and his football teammates are listed as “Renate Alumnius,” and the name “Renate” appears at least 14 times in its text. According to two of the nominee’s classmates, the mentions were derogatory boastings of sexual conquests.

“They were very disrespectful, at least verbally, with Renate,” Sean Hagan, a Georgetown Prep classmate of Kavanaugh’s, told the Times. “I can’t express how disgusted I am with them, then and now.”



At the following link you can read about things like: Renate Alumnus (as in possible sexual conquest)

He lied about a contemporary to boost his own sexual creds. The absolute worst type of pig.

Judge’s listings of their...accomplishments...I assumed her name was therefore printed in other places as well - but as you say, her name was probably penned by classmates signing the yearbook -

Again, thanks!

being printed so many time would get back to her through, like, a friend of a friend -

Apparently not, though - as Stallion pointed out, her name was probably mentioned by signers of the yearbook, and wasn’t printed as a part of the yearbook itself (except in Kavanaugh’s and Judge’s list of school accomplishments next to their pictures) -

or even one she signed, others might write anything afterward.

I have no idea what others wrote about me and no way do I remember what I wrote in other yearbooks except that it was probably a typical sample of my attempts to be funny.
