I vote troll.

Yup. Exactly how I see it. Sometimes someone does something, and things can not ever go back the way they were. It’s got little to do with anger, it’s much more about trust.

No, it’s ok, I can wait! Why is it ok for you to say “it is objectionable” but it’s not ok for me to say “it is not objectionable”?

So why doesn’t that apply to what I said? I’ll wait.

I don’t forgive people who aren’t truly sorry. Unfortunately I have encountered a couple of people like that in my life. And guess what, they accuse me of being angry, holding grudges, etc. etc. None of which describes how I actually feel about them. But the idea of forgiving for your own healing really perpetuates…

Find it objectionable all you like, but you did state that it WAS objectionable, so don’t be a hypocrite and tell me I shouldn’t state that it IS NOT objectionable.

It’s not actually objectionable - or did you miss the sarcasm in the article? Furthermore, RedStateBlueWoman wasn’t “excusing” anything - they are saying people are missing what the point of the demo was.

Wat?

I don’t think it was and I think that was a lame excuse. Sultry most definitely has sexual connotations. They would never have said “sultry” to describe boys of a similar age. Never in a million years.

Good for you. Why should we feel compelled to forgive? It is not a healing thing for everybody. If it makes someone feel good, that’s awesome. But if someone doesn’t want to or can’t forgive, that should be just as accepted.

But is he even sorry? Far as I can tell he thinks what he did is pretty ok-ish.

You know it.

A mistake of honesty...exactly what it is.

It wasn’t the judges that said that, it was the young ladies that suggested it may be an “honest mistake”. Very generous of them imo.

Ugh, I’m sorry. I think a lot of dads are like that. My dad is supposedly “feminist” but he really gave me the impression in high school that I needed to dress a certain way to avoid sexual harassment and things would be my fault if I didn’t. Ugh. I love my dad to death but he’s a bit of a “nice guy”.

This woman sounds very ignorant, I’m surprised she would even want to send her child to a STEM focused high school.

That’s pretty gross. “Honest mistake”? I think not - this is how some men think of girls in this age bracket, especially in the entertainment industry, and it really needs to change. Good for these young ladies for standing up against this.

Pedophiles can’t be rehabilitated.

Yes, I agree it is also similar to this.

Don’t know that I would call it “helped”, more like “done something to avert his future actions”. The guy doesn’t deserve any pity or “help” imo.
