A business professor at Brooklyn College expressed his belief that sexual assault is a male rite of passage in the wake of allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The New York Post reported that Brooklyn College associate professor Mitchell Langbert made the comment on his self-named blog.
"If someone did not commit sexual assault in high school," Langbert wrote in the "satirical" post, "then he is not a member of the male sex."
"The Democrats have discovered that 15-year-olds play spin-the-bottle," the conservative professor continued, "and they have jumped on a series of supposed spin-the-bottle crimes during Kavanaugh’s minority, which they characterize as rape, although no one complained or reported any crime for 40 years."
The post, made the same day that Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified in a televised Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, was supposed to be satirical in the vein of Dr. Jonathan's Swift A Modest Proposal, which jokingly advocated that poor Irish people sell their children as food for rich Brits.
"The Democrats have become a party of tutu-wearing pansies, totalitarian sissies who lack virility, a sense of decency, or the masculine judgment that has characterized the greatest civilizations: classical Athens, Republican Rome, 18th century Britain, and the 19th century United States," Langbert added. "They use anonymity and defamation in their tireless search for coercive power."
