And I wasn't halfass fishing for anyone to soothe my ruffled feathers or tell me I didnt hurt them, especially not here. I know all of you bunch of tough dames can take the heat. It's part of the reason I love Mock (and yes I am making a concerted effort to be around more. Goddamn politics ate my life).
But I am a firm believer in the power of self reflection as well as the power of spoken and written language. I've had some nasty throw downs over people pretending their online antics "don't count" or that certain boundaries didn't exist on the inta net. And when the #metoo stuff started to come out, a lot of it hit close to home. A little too much for my comfort. I ain't saying I have run around in a trenchcoat flashing little old ladies (but I will consider it if the price is right). But there are conversations here and elsewhere I'd kinda like to have back, moments I'm not real proud of. So I thought I'd just air it out here rather than, you know, in my head at three in the morning when I can't sleep.
Understood.
You threw out some honest self-reflection and got an honest (not sympathetic) response from me in return. I meant what I said.
Anyway, don't worry. I doubt anyone here expects that just because you're big enough to make efforts towards not being a hypocrite in general and a dick to women specifically.......that you're suddenly gonna stop being a humble-bragging, mansplaining, sardonic asshole.
