Regarding Brad Brigham’s “excusable behavior” letter (10/23/18):

Yes, Mr. Brigham, we WILL call you old fashioned, and unenlightened, too. You imply that all adolescents should sexually assault someone because that’s how they learn boundaries. What??? Would you want the girls and women that you love (sisters, daughters, wife, mother ) to have been nearly raped, to help THEIR development, too?? Sexual assault is an age old story, but NEVER excusable. The difference now is that we women are speaking out and not putting up with the “boys will be boys” nonsense.

Kavanaugh’s behavior was despicable. You KNOW he’s guilty. Nearly equally detestable is that he lied through his teeth (and his drama tears) about it, and about his drinking. It’s not like he was applying for a job at the local Wal-Mart. He was applying for the highest court in this country. And his good ole boys hired him.
