Men really don't get it. They are ignoring you because they are scared you'll rape them, am I right?

Reading his full apology, I didn't take that as a "haha, it was a joke, you all just don't get it, SORRY" kind of bs. With the rest of letter as context, to me it came across as "it was meant as a joke but now that I've seen the reaction and had some time to consider things, I understand that it was not something to…

But he quickly goes to his next point that it was still wrong, jokes like this should never be made, and he plans on educating himself further. No, I don't feel like it was a faux-pology. He's explaining his intentions to clarify that he's not a rapist, but his jokes do make him a part of the problem.

I found it to be…

That bugged me a bit until this line:

Doesn't look to me like a lawyer wrote it. Lawyers don't give real apologies - only versions of "sorry if anyone was offended". In this letter the offender takes complete personal responsibility for actions that were wrong and that he admits he should have known were wrong. Real contrition like that is pretty much…

I actually half-wish he could be reinstated in his position. Because a frat-bro with this much self-awareness is so rare! Note to all gaffe-making right-wing politicians: THIS is how you make a real apology. *Applause*

No lawyer would have ever allowed him to admit he actually did something wrong in such unequivocal terms.

Hmmm. Well, alright then.

I agree. Just because Jezebelles and Jon Stewart and the Nobel peeps are gushing over Malala, it doesn't mean most people have ever heard of her. A sad comment on our times, but it also does mean that the people who are crazy about her are for the most part taking her seriously.

She's not a Hollywood child star a la Lindsay Lohan. She's idolized for the right reasons - people are in awe of her for all the right reasons. She's smart and has good people around her. I think she's out of danger and will continue to do great things.

I'm always amazed when dewdz ask women a question———protesting that all the way they really want to hear what women think———and then when they don't get the answer that makes it possible for them to continue what they've been doing all along, they then lash out at the women. If you gave a shit about women you'd be…

That he thought "A woman I know doesn't have a problem with it" was worth sharing indicates to me that he's not too sharp, or he's a troll. Hell, it's probably both.

It isn't wrong that she likes whatever she likes, but it's still wrong on the part of the guys cat-calling her. It isn't really even surprising that some women enjoy being cat-called in a culture that tells us that our value is tied to our attractiveness to men. But we also live in a culture where women are told to…

I think there are a LOT of men who don't believe street harassment is really a thing, or that it's a compliment and women need to calm down. They need to read threads like this, where everyone has a story about some really gross and unforgivable thing that happened to them. Yes, it does happen. All the time. Just…

I'll admit I've smiled to myself when I get a car honk or a "hey gorgeous!" once in awhile, but most of the time it's just... ugh. Just trying to go about my day here dude. Also, "hey gorgeous" is WORLDS AWAY from invitations to perform sexual acts, lewd body comments, etc. Or BARKING AND GROWLING, as another…

No. I don't know anybody like that at all.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is an example of the problem.

wolf whistles vs lude comments on type of underwear person is wearing?

My favorite street harrasers are the ones who get angry at my failure to be enthused about their clearly brilliantly crafted homage to my ability to pass their "fuckable" standards.

All of this. All of it.
