And yet, I find myself resisting the cynicism that says, "I"m not surprised when Johnson is accused of whatever. Hey, he's male.

What's your rationalization for Kathleen Erickson?
Or doesn't that matter?
|
My point wasn't that I don't trust men, or that it's okay to assume that men are abusers. My point was that it's cynical to assume that, and I don't want to think that way. I resist that kind of "bottom line", because I don't like what it does to my own life. Get it?

I went back and re-read your post...and found that I misread it and missed your point. I apologize.
|
Apology accepted.

Wait a second here.
It is customary, even required in some circles, that when someone takes offense to something said it us up to the offender to make an apology before any explanation is offered. And regardless of how badly the offending comment was misinterpreted the offended person is never, ever required to say anything stronger than "next time be more sensitive".
