he only walked back after making hard defence of his comments at first. While we can say hey he was struggling with his own disorder: This is the type of undermining on someone’s psyche that so many victims are up against. while it’s good for him to finally come around, There should absolutely be no wiggle room. I’m glad it’s been called out as inappropriate regardless of reason.

    He only walked back after making hard defence of his comments at first.

    That should be reassuring more than anything, in the sense that he came around after being genuinely convinced that he was wrong. There's nothing wrong with defending your position until you're genuinely convinced that you're wrong. I have a much bigger problem with people instantly folding when confronted, but not truly accepting that they were wrong in the first place.

    So…..Your big take away here was defending the mediocre male who is at zero risk over a bumbling opinion .

    Not even inkling of concern of how this impacts the vulnerable underage victims of the case and how these harmful opinions have been debasing them.

    Well at least now we know where you really stand here on which hills you’re willing to die on .

    Wat? Did you reply to the wrong comment or something?

    Defending a mediocre male (...)

    I'm rationalising a persons reaction to a situation by trying to understand how they think.

    Not even an inkling of concern (...)

    I don't see how rationalising one persons train of thought says anything about my personal opinions or concerns about anything?

    Now we know (...) which hills you're willing to die on.

    This is really what confused me the most. What about my comment made you think there was even any hill in the vicinity to die on?
