I'm turning myself in

UPDATE: OK, I guess youse guys don't see snark when you see it?
When I was 12, I and 3 girls from the neighborhood went out to the woods behind our houses.
They took turns making out with me (kissing) and I with them. And everything was great, or so I thought. My white male privilege was at 11.
Of course, they all went home and told their mothers what they had done.
Regardless of 3 on 1, forever after, I was "that boy"
The shame is still with me 50 years later...

I wouldn't worry too much
about it, Ed
You'll never make the Supreme Court. You're too ornery, and honest.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Oh . . . no shame!
They all had a great time.

Sexual assault is not the same as making out with someone
who has given their consent. You do see the difference between that and what Kavanaugh allegedly did right? If this is what this essay is about .....
Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.
Cheers snoopy, bout to say something similar.
Your snark meter is in need of adjustment.
True story though.
Prof: Nancy! I’m going to Greece!
Nancy: And swim the English Channel?
Prof: No. No. To ancient Greece where burning Sapho stood beside the wine dark sea. Wa de do da! Nancy, I’ve invented a time machine!

@snoopydawg Exactly my problem with
Exactly my problem with lumping things like the Lewinsky affair in with things like Weinstein's casting couch with things like out-and-out rape...
The issue of consent, in fact a continuum of consent, is entirely erased in a world where the apotheosis of morality is "keep it in your pants."

as i've noted before, a meaningful fraction of
all the guys i went to junior high with -- myself included -- did things that would currently be considered "sexual assault" of one degree or another. it was a strange time. the sexual revolution had happened, women's liberation was in full swing, relatively speaking, but nobody had even started trying to work out what kind of information adolescents needed in order to understand what the new rules were.
though i'll note, i never heard of anything as egregious as what kavanaugh (who is a few years younger than me) has been accused of, in junior or senior high school. i don't doubt it was happening, but apparently those involved weren't sufficiently deluded as to think it was "okay".
The earth is a multibillion-year-old sphere.
The Nazis killed millions of Jews.

AGCC is happening.
If you cannot accept these facts, I cannot fake an interest in any of your opinions.
Anita Hill redux
She wasn't believed either, and was defamed and derided while Clarence Thomas oozed onto the Supreme Court.
History repeats ad nauseam until people either "get it" and rise in revolt, or are crushed beneath the wheel.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
@Cant Stop the Macedonian Signal And here's the thing:
And here's the thing: saying that rape is not the same as the Lewinsky thing is not the same as Weinstein's predatory crap is not saying that any of those things are good. It's important to maintain distinctions, however, and to understand WHY we think something is good or bad. "Keep it in your pants" implies that what's bad is sex.
2nd-wave feminism did great work on this, which has almost entirely been undone, occasionally by feminists.

I would seem
that sexual predator and robes are synonymous.
