Judge Brett Kavanaugh, U.S. Supreme Court nominee, never thought that news of a drunken sexually motivated escapade at the age of seventeen would resurface to jeopardize his reputation, his family and his career, or he would never have agreed to the nomination. He vehemently denies the event. What option does he have in the wake of '#MeToo?' Does that sound like I believe his adamant denial is untrue? Hmmmmm! Understand my approach here. Before '#MeToo' it could be assumed that the majority of now prominent males had trifled with a girl's virginity as well as their own. In their adult lives this became a forgotten dalliance. Before '#MeToo' Kavanaugh when confronted with the memory, could have answered an allegation with, "Yes, I acted stupidly when I was a teenager but I grew up and so did my values and morality, and I regret my behaviour then." Today an aspirant for Supreme Court cannot make that admission without losing everything. So could Judge Kavanaugh be telling the truth?
