With the publication of Christine Blasey Ford’s new book this month, I was catapulted back to the anger that I felt during the congressional hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh. It was a master class on male entitlement. It’s hard to know if it’s biology or culture or longer arms that have made men so much better at patting themselves on the back. When a guy is asked what he is good at, he will happily recount the slightest applause-worthy moments in his life. He’ll mention that he scored the winning touchdown in middle school, can sink a six-foot putt, and once ate 23 hot dogs on a dare. He’ll gladly add that he can hold his liquor, and can sign his name while urinating.
