Mark Judge, Kavanaugh's buddy, is a pig. Questioned Obama's masculinity

'Uncontrollable male passion': Writings of Brett Kavanaugh's classmate under scrutiny

"Certain women should be struck regularly, like gongs."

That quote from British playwright Noel Coward was featured on Mark Judge's senior yearbook page when he graduated from Georgetown Preparatory School in Bethesda, Maryland, in 1983, according to a report from The Washington Post.

Judge is the man accused of watching and laughing while his friend Brett Kavanaugh – now a nominee to the Supreme Court – held a girl down and tried to remove her clothes at a party while they were all in high school.

Since the allegations by psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford came to light, the the writings of Judge, an author and columnist, are under intense scrutiny. From his high school yearbook quote to his more recent opinion pieces, Judge's takes on men, women and sexuality are raising eyebrows.

"I never saw anything like what was described," Judge told The New York Times, adding that the students at Georgetown Prep were raised Catholic and would not have behaved the way described by Ford.

Judge eventually stopped drinking and became a devout Catholic. After a stint as a college professor, he began writing columns that have appeared in a wide range of publications.

In one August 2013 column for the conservative site The Daily Caller, Judge called Barack Obama "the first female president" because he "doesn’t have just a streak of the feminine in him; he seems to be a woman, and a feminist one at that, with a streak of man in him."

and assault teenage girls he's not a macho man, according to that foul piece of excrement Judge. Barack Obama is a real man something Kavanaugh or Judge will never be.

In a separate article written by Judge for SpliceToday in September 2015, he argued it's good for young men to understand that "no means no" but also said there's an "ambiguous middle ground" in which a woman seems interested and a man must "prove himself to her."

No means maybe or even yes but you have to overpower her in order to find out.

I guess this means all those priests accused and convicted of rape and molestation weren't "raised Catholic."

I can unequivocally and categorically state that the below statement is complete unadulterated BULLSHIT!!!

"the students at Georgetown Prep were raised Catholic and would not have behaved the way described by Ford."

My friends who went to Public School thought I was like Henry Hill in Goodfella's when I took them to some of my "Catholic" High School parties.
