The high school classmate who was said to have laughed while Brett Kavanaugh allegedly tried to sexually assault a teen girl at a high school drinking party added a quote to his yearbook that said some women deserve to be smacked around.
“Certain women should be struck regularly, like gongs,” read the quote on Mark Judge’s yearbook page, a line that originally came from British playwright and satirist Noel Coward, the Washington Post reported.
Judge was a classmate of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee when the pair attended the Jesuit-run, all-boys Georgetown Prep in Bethesda, Maryland, in the 1980s.
Christine Blasey Ford, a student at the nearby all-girls Holton-Arms, said a plastered Kavanaugh forced her onto a bed at a high school drinking party in a private home, groped her, tried to take her clothes off and covered her mouth with his hand when she cried out in protest.
Judge, she added, found the whole scene hilarious, and laughingly turned up the volume of blaring rock music to drown out her cries before piling onto Kavanaugh and Ford on the bed.
Kavanaugh has repeatedly denied Ford’s accusations, which have rocked his confirmation process, and Judge told the New York Times: “I never saw anything like what was described.”
And because he attended a Catholic high school and was raised Catholic, he would never behave the way Ford described the incident, he said.
But in later writings, he extolled his and his classmates’ party-hearty behavior.
In a pair of memoirs, Judge described Georgetown Prep as a den of sexual iniquity fueled by binge drinking and alcoholic blackouts.
Prepsters went to “masturbation class,” “lusted after girls” from nearby girls’ schools and drank themselves into oblivion at parties, the DC paper reported.
Though he said that he had since kicked the sauce, his writing continued to feature cringe-worthy passages, such as one extolling “the wonderful beauty of uncontrollable male passion.”
He was also caption editor for his yearbook, which included such juvenile bons mots as the words “Ebony and Ivory” under a picture of a white and a black student.
“Do these guys beat their wives?” he wrote beneath a group photo of several boys.
In his 2005 memoir, “God and Man at Georgetown Prep,” he wrote that he worked on the school’s underground newspaper as a senior and largely focused on the school’s rollicking party scene.
One issue showed a music teacher at a stag party “chugging a beer, surrounded by a group of us with raised mugs, sitting down while being entertained by the stripper.”
Judge never mentioned Kavanaugh attending any of the parties, but in his 1997 memoir, “Wasted,” he referred to a “Bart O’Kavanaugh” — who passes out drunk and pukes in a car.
Judge later took a teaching job at Georgetown University but wrote in The Weekly Standard that he had a hard time dealing with the dominant liberal culture pervading the campus.
“I saw course descriptions requiring students to read comic books and watch the feminist film ‘Thelma and Louise,’ and academic papers proclaiming that all courses not named ‘Women’s Studies’ or ‘African-American (or other) Studies’ are ‘men’s studies . . . white-defined, ethnocentric, and implicitly racist,’ ” he wrote.
In the years since, he has written that disposable razors are feminine, that former President Barack Obama is practically a woman and that gay men have infiltrated the priesthood.
Judge has also been critical of men accused of assault, including the conservative Senate candidate Roy Moore, whose campaign was derailed by allegations that he preyed on minor girls. But Judge has also criticized women’s behavior.
“There’s never any excuse to rape, a crime that I think is almost akin to murder because the rapist kills a part of the human soul. And yet what women wear and their body language also send signals about their sexuality,” he wrote.
In another article, he whined about “social justice warriors” who confuse rape with red-blooded masculine behavior.
“If that man is any kind of man, he’ll allow himself to feel the awesome power, the wonderful beauty, of uncontrollable male passion,” Judge wrote.
