As they used to say around the Iowa State campus “dekes fuck sheep.” Frats were a no-go zone for us freaks, punks and goths, but DKE was avoided like they plague they are.
That is priceless.

This is a violent, dangerous man, and they are giving him the power to essentially decide who is and who is not human, and thus deserving of basic rights.
He’s proven he has no respect for women. That he worships power.
This is fucking terrifying.
That guy has “frat boy” written all over him.
DKE.
Here’s what they were like at Tulane.
JAMA Pediatrics:
Across samples, 178 of 1642 participants (10.8%) reported having perpetrated at least 1 rape from 14 years of age through the end of college.
Statistically speaking, nearly 11% of men who go to college are rapists before they’re legally allowed to drink.
Apparently Trump has asked the FBI not to investigate the gang rape allegations.
P.S.
According to multiple sources, the White House has given the bureau a list of witnesses it is permitted to interview and topics it is permitted to ask about. Christine Blasey Ford and Debbie Ramirez’s allegations will be investigated; Julie Swetnick’s will not.
For a funny take on the Kavanaugh hearing…
Although, as SLJ himself points out…
Wow, Samuel L.
I take back everything I’ve said about those Capital One ads. For now, anyway.
Why women don’t report, example number n+1:
The accused is Cristiano Ronaldo
Here’s the thing. I get it, because I am a non-drinker who has been witness to it happening. I had a supervisor who would get blackout drunk on beer, every work Christmas party. The next day he would deny vehemently the things he did, and this was when (like now) everybody had a cellphone with camera in their pocket, and we took pictures for proof. He still would try to deny, even when we showed him the pictures. Weirdly, what spooked him most was when I would say “Dude, I was dead sober. I remember.” Somehow, the fact that someone could have a clear, sober memory of events was more terrifying to him than pictures. Probably because he could come up with a story to explain pictures, but wasn’t sure how to deal with the concept of someone who saw the entire chain of events. This was not helped by his view (as stated by him) that he tended to be the smartest person in any room, and knew that in most people’s opinion, I could easily challenge him for that crown (I prefer not to be the smartest person in the room, TBH. That’s why I hang out in places like this).
He also creeped on (and rumour was, more) younger girls (this was retail grocery, so yes, teenagers in some cases) who didn’t have the confidence to fight back. The harassment I endured from him was different, because to him I wasn’t prey (despite his claims that it was fun to make me cry), I was a threat. Both to his ego, and to his ability to continue his behaviour, should he slip up and do anything incriminating in my presence.
Looking back, he had to gaslight and discredit me, if he wanted to protect himself (to be clear, I do not blame myself, I fully blame him for his behaviour, but it’s easier to see now why he targeted me the way he did).
All of this to say this is why I can believe Dr. Ford and the others, and still accept that Kavanaugh and Judge have no memory of what happened. Because they were drunk, and because it was nothing special to them. Why should they remember? That doesn’t make them less responsible for what they did. There is a difference between knowing what you’re doing and remembering it later.¹ They knew what they were doing as they did it. They were deliberate.
¹No, this does not mean that consent becomes tricky, if the victim can’t remember giving consent. Someone who is blackout drunk is capable of acting, but is clearly not sober. Therefore, they are still incapable of giving informed consent. Err on the side of caution, and don’t take advantage. It’s not that hard.

This is unfortunately common for any woman who’s tried to break into any type of cultural scene. Not always this creepy/violent, but there.
Confirmed that the “investigation” was not allowed to investigate:
