Certainly looking forward to it. Considering it's taken this long, I'm going to cross fingers that it's genuinely awesome and sincere. And you know, an apology.

Actually, it's in the queue for 6pm. Yes, should've been done sooner, you're right.

I have to agree that I think your anger, though justified, is misdirected in this particular thread. As a black woman who also gets sick and tired of people's bullshit and convenient 'misunderstanding' of racial issues I can see why it is frustrating to have to dialogue about things that feel like they should be

I'm only half following this situation, I'm not a blogger, but from one white feminist to another: BULLSHIT. In order to have been in "denial" about Hugo Schwyzer up until recently, to believe that issues with his work are "distant," you have to ignore, discredit, and fail to empathize with the women of color

Please, don't hide behind a nameless and cowardly "stages of grief" apology. Do it for real. Actually talk about how you ignored the many voices of protest and why. Give credit to the women who were abused and stalked by Hugo Schwyzer. Apologize to those who were triggered by his words. But don't act like this is

Really, exactly what I expected from Jezebel. (Cue nostalgic reference of Anna Holmes)

Jessica Coen's thoughts: I'm going to make this post all about myself and not about the thousands of women I help HS marginalize.

Bon Appetit.

Jessica, after some Twitter conversations, I think there are two conversations to be figured out here. So let me try recommendations a little more gently.

This is literally the most offensive post I've seen on Jezebel. Where is the apology? Where's the acknowledgment that you published a known abuser, attempted murderer, racist, misogynistic douchebag?? You ACTUALLY published a piece by him where he instructed women to let men cum on their faces... for ~empowerment~

I'm really not aure whose attempt at an apology is worse, yours or his. On the one hand, you aren't using a mental illness as an excuse, granting interviews after flouncing x 4, and tweeting about how its the internets fault. On the other hand, you're acting shocked he turned out to be exactly the dude people have

Jessica, the tone of this article makes you sound like you are as big of a narcissist as Hugo Schwyzer.

It reads like a hastily scribbled excuse by someone who really really really doesn't want to acknowledge their own responsibilities for what happened. The attempt at light-hearted humour is... unspeakable.

good god lemon, did you just make HS's meltdown and his abuse of WoC and his gaslighting, about yourself and your feelings?

Oh my gosh, this must be so very difficult for you. *VOMIT*

Please, please, please tell me this is not your response to Hugo Schwyzer. If it is, this is beyond the pale.

This response is as much entirely about you as his meltdown was entirely about him. Will there be another article about restitution, amends, atonement? Or are your feelings it?
