        Interesting defense since Kavanaugh says it didn’t happen at all.

        "Horseplay" still involves consent otherwise it's assault. WTF is wrong with these people?

        How can it be horseplay if he wasn't there?

        For those of us who don't define "horseplay" as "sexual assault," NO. #KavaNO

        It's only horseplay if both horses are playing.

        Last time I saw horses playing they weren’t drunk nor were they trying to rape anyone.

        This is akin to “boys will be boys” and that’s nauseating.

        Horseplay was a term used by my parents to describe us jumping on the couch or our playing "pig pile." I'm absolutely positive my father would have described the attack on a teen girl by two older boys in a locked room an attempted sexual assault or attempted rape.

        wow, that is NOT a good defense. "horseplay" with someone who didn't consent to "horseplay" is assault/battery

        Too bad Kavanaugh already issued a categorical denial that this incident never occurred. When you lie, you really need to coordinate with your defenders.
