We want people who do bad things to be consistently and obviously bad people. But it doesn’t work that way, does it?
I’m so disappointed and it means that all sorts of things I enjoyed are now ruined. But it’s not really anything new and I can’t say it caught me off guard.
Men can be champions of social justice, deacons in their churches, trusted coaches, cogent critics of cultural hypocrisy, environmental warriors, rescuers of lost puppies, – and also abusive misogynists. This is something life teaches women. Maybe telling more and more of these stories means that others will know it too.
The fact is, I gotta say, revelations like the one today (and not the one about Roy Moore, cuz… I mean… duh) may be painful and disappointing but – in contrast to the Weinsteins or the Trumps – the Louis CK moments are far more useful as indicators of just. how. deep. and. wide. this. goes.
