    Jeet Heer Retweeted Megan McArdle

    I'm just a shade younger than Kananaugh and my memory is that attempted rape was regarded as bad behavior.https://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1040318646583799809 …

    Kavanaugh is older than I am, and it would be inconceivable for anyone of my generation to think of an incident that took place in high school as constituting "sexual harassment" in the way it's now meant. It was barely a thing in the workplace in that era.

        I wonder whether he used a condom.

        Megan is the go-to if you want a stunningly empty and trite take; I question whether she has actually ever read a book other than “Atlas Shrugged” - and possibly not even that one

        6 or 7th grad in the late 80s they specifically told us that snapping a girl's bra would be referred to the police as sexual assault.

        McArdle is awful. I’m close to Kavanaugh’s age. I suspect almost everyone I knew in my large & liberal public HS would have been shocked if one of our female classmates had experienced what Kavanaugh’s victim details in her letter. This is attempted rape, a crime then and now.

        I went to a Catholic high school a few years before Kavanaugh. We were taught rape is a sin.

        Sexual harassment is just a zen koan to McArdle.
