except it wasnt a “oops i’m sorry “apology

Considering the statistics on college sexual assault it seems pretty clear that a whole bunch of men around his age don’t know that rape is really really wrong. But his apology wasn’t horrible. He didn’t apologize “if you were offended” and he didn’t stick with the old favorite “Oh no you misunderstood, it wasn’t…

Murder victims are usually not blamed for being murdered, and their killers are usually imprisoned instead of exonerated.

How is that the easy way out? I highly doubt that he thought that actually raping women was ok even while writing those lyrics, those lyrics instead being a product of a culture where actual victims of rape are overlooked. If that’s the case, his apology would be appropriate.

But isn’t that exactly the problem with rape culture? That a lot of people out there don’t think that doing things like this is the same as promoting rape. That it’s so casually promoted that we don’t even think about the impact we’re having on society with our words and actions? How many young men out there gaming…

Sounds like you had good guidance

I don’t think it’s entirely shifting blame in his apology to claim that he had no guidance. Isn’t that one of the biggest problems with rape culture? That there’s nobody (or too few/quiet people) in the immediate area to tell people “Thatz Not Okay!” when they say asinine shit?

I didn’t read it that way. He didn’t say that a parent or a lack of one was to blame. He just said that he was young not and dumb and that no one had shown him the light yet. I never would’ve rapped anything like that, but I certainly thought shitty thing s until someone showed me or told me that I was wrong. That’s…

At the time, I had no guidance in my life. I blame it on that.

Now that is both shiny AND chrome. Witness them!

There isn’t even anything sociocultural about which to comment on this case, anymore; it has reached surreal levels of absurdity. I. give. up.

Honestly, I really need to know why the Conservative Right is so fucking obsessed with the contents of my vagina.

Apparently she did. Doesn’t change the fact that she’s either a crazy person or a big piece of shit that doesn't respect other people

I can’t wait for the “she did good in the black community” crowd to migrate from Gawker to Jezebel.

Paleo people/Raw people/People on cleanses are the WORST. We can all agree on that. Other eating styles have nothing on those 3.

Maybe “embarrassing medical condition” isn’t the greatest thing to say about phimosis? Lots of people have phimosis, it is easily fixed with stretching, creams, and improves within a few days. The main problem is that people who suffer from this painful condition do think it’s embarrassing, and this write up isn’t…

The media couldn’t give two shakes about summits like this. (How often do these sort of summit meeting making it on Jezebel alone? Anyone?) But add an A list star and now you have a story. It’s sad but true. And Jolie knows this. If she is anything, she is media savvy. So, good for her for manipulating the media into…

Wait! Could this be why women are often afraid to use official channels to report sexual harassment? Nah. Probably just lying sluts.

HELLO, if he’s a Nice Guy he won’t do it. Duh. That’s why you should appreciate a Nice Guy, you superficial slut. They can use their fedoras as chinese stars if anyone threatens your safety.

So, enlighten us, MRAs: How are women supposed to know which of you fucks will pull this on them or not?
