I think threats of violence are completely appropriate in this circumstance. There was no time for structural education and he couldn't have just said that what the molesters were doing was wrong, because the molesters don't give a crap. Being threatened is much more convincing.

If male nurses get so distracted by the female body, they may wish to reconsider their chosen profession...

I'm glad you brought this up, because while I was listening to this, the first thing popped up in my head was "IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY UGH" and then two seconds later he made this point. That stopped me in my tracks.

"I think that....that doesn't matter, you know? How you mean things doesn't matter."

I remember Anne Hathaway being interviewed and she said just after she had broken up with that criminal she was with, she was walking through an airport with the paparazzi taking pictures and shouting (quote) 'is your brother a fag Anne? How do you feel about your brother being a fag?' over and over again because she…

If sincere, this is the right way to do an apology. "I'm sorry, I don't expect your forgiveness, please feel free to use me as an example of what not to do." None of that "I'm sorry if YOU took it the wrong way" bullshit or whatever.

I realize that this is going to be unpopular, but I don't know how many of you have seen how paparazzi treat the celebrities they follow around all day. I know that it's a part of the territory and whatnot, but they say awful shit to not only them, but also their families and the people they're with, in an attempt to…

I'm gay, and I was taunted by that slur and others throughout my entire childhood.

Zero sum games are really hard standards for humans. I've said horrible things in my life and have gone on to still be a pretty decent social justice educator. This type of apology is an excellent example of how to come off sincerely instead of #sorrynotsorry.

Pretty incredible that you think your own experience is somehow representative of everyone's. Or that your experience is some standard everyone should abide by.

It's pretty fucked up how the paparazzi trolls celebrities in an effort to get them to say awful things. If that happened to me I would probably be caught on camera saying lots of terrible things.

Y'all can keep your Cumberwhats and your Hiddlewhos. This dude right here is my imaginary boyfriend.

actor makes a comment that was treated as a joke at the time and was later reported as a joke.

I think he was trying to distract her with humor, vis a via making it all about him instead.

As the mother of an autistic son, I've hit "ZOMG what causes autism?!?" fatigue. I sort of don't care. I mean, I do, but after years of hearing vax bullshit and vague whatsits from small-scale studies, I'm over it. I'm tired of autism being portrayed like the 21st century plague. I have a son and I need to know the…

If it makes you feel any worse, the people who own grumpy cat are now rich just because they own a fucking cat.

a/s/l?

I was only doubting myself because my parents didn't own one. Those were fancy. I had to rewind in the VCR :( #90sgirlproblems
