It was easier for him to ignore, so he did.

We’ve all internalized patriarchy to some extent. I appreciate it when anyone is striving to recognize it in themselves and repair it. People are at different points in their own progression on this endless task of introspection and self-correction. He could do a lot more but there are many who do less.

I feel like when people accuse others of sexual misconduct they are expecting a Scooby Doo confession. “LIKE YEAH I MASTURBATED IN FRONT OF THOSE WOMEN AND I WOULDA GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT IF IT WASN’T FOR THOSE MEDDLING JOURNALISTS!”

Well, the results are in. No diggity, no doubt I’m a psychopath. Great.

In fairness, it is well understood that federal judges in Alabama do not have to be listened to, so it’s not really an important position.

And for the last fucking time, yes, literally everyone who got mad that Rue was black in the movie (and also in the books, you dumb fuckers) was absolutely racist. Getting mad that someone is black is categorically racist.

Funny, because I think it is trashy as hell to throw your own shower, especially for any baby after the first. Trashy. As. Hell. BUT. Women who are expecting via surrogate are still expectant mothers. What’s your damage? My daughter was born via surrogate and even though I couldn’t carry her I was still having a baby.…

Listen. Having a THIRD baby shower seems a little tacky, but for people saying that Kim can’t have a shower because “she’s not even pregnant,” I just have this to say: fuck you very much. My daughter was born via surrogate, and I was a joyful and excited expectant mother even though I couldn’t gestate her myself. I…

That might be the most sickening apology yet. “Okay, I stepped in and told those women to shut up or their careers would be destroyed. But I hadn’t heard about other incidents!”

Maybe he qualifies as such in 2017 because he hasn’t raped anyone.

OMG MAYA IS THE FUCKING BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, we really only have ourselves to blame, wouldn’t you say?

Aren’t all cults basically sex cults? I don’t think I’ve ever heard about one that doesn’t involve some sort of bizarre sex shit, from the hippie-dippie “free love” of the Source Family to the “we are going to castrate our way to purity” ideas of Heaven’s Gate.

...Demogorgons?

“Mack DOS” does make a certain perverse sense.

This statement is so fucking disingenuous. He has known FOR YEARS that these stories were circulating, that the truth was getting around, and FOR YEARS he has worked to quash them. He knew perfectly well that women were afraid to come forward to speak out about his behavior. He is only sorry because he got caught. He…

And here comes the cognitive dissonance. On the one hand, everybody knows that he’s generally a thoughtful person (in the sense that he thinks about stuff on multiple levels), and we also know that he’s a strong and insightful writer. So it’s really no surprise in that sense that he was able to craft what may be one…

The fact that he’s smarter than your typical abuser and better at crafting an apology designed to curry favor with the masses than most doesn’t make me any more likely to forgive. Quite the opposite, the calculated quality here makes his transgressions all the more egregious. He should have known better, he did know…
