What Kavanaugh and Judge did at Georgetown Prep is not unique to elite prep schools

16. You point out an uncomfortable truth

Before AIDS consciousness really took hold in the heterosexual community, the sexual revolution unleashed in the 1960's kept building and building into something monstrous. I went to college in 1974, and once we were all free from parental restraints, all kinds of incautious things took place. They were fueled also by the television shows, and especially the motion pictures of the day. I remained a virgin through my one quarter at a fraternity, but didn't make it through my freshman year with that status.

To my credit, I only had relations with the woman I later married (and divorced ten years later), but even in the age of AIDS, I still engaged in unsafe practices after the divorce. While waiting for the results of an HIV test in 2005, my sex life flashed before my eyes, until the results came back negative. Since then, I've been with one and only one woman. A lot of my peers were way more "active" than I was, and I thought nothing of it.

I'm wondering if the weaponization of teenage/young adult sexual practices of the time, as despicable as they look in hindsight, will come back to bite us in the ass. How many Democratic Senators, Representatives, and other elected officials were at parties where what now looks taboo, was going on, and said or did nothing about it? If "sowing wild oats" is a disqualifier for high office, how many of our male Democratic figures would pass the 2018 test?
