First rule of Fight Club. Never talk about Fight Club.

Same rule for feverish frat societies on their drunken way to federal power in DC ore really any of these one-percenter diploma mills. It was just what you did if you want to move up in the tribe. You don't snitch boy or girl.

Of course there were no complaints at the time. Fight Club. It wasn't safe, no one would believe the woman, and then she would be shunned and blacklisted. If you made it through the gauntlet, playing along with all the bullshit and keeping your mouth shut, women might be allowed into the room with the glass ceiling.

Many shut up and went through the gauntlet. What choice did they really have in 1980? Now they're waking up and taking it back.


That is some club, with lifetime judicial appointments and cabinet positions at stake. And everyone supposed to be perfect examples of young American students. No wonder the drinking went crazy. And it was all part of the rituals to become powerful in Washington DC.

But there's nothing manly about it. It's just a bunch of shitheads covering each other's bad behavior.

Republicans would do ANYTHING to prevent the future, which clearly involves minorities, women and change. They will sell their souls to control the country AFTER THEY DIE!!

They are child eating monsters
