In reply to Amy.

I’m so sorry, Amy. That should NEVER have happened to you.

Honestly, I don’t know about Moses. His siblings all believe Dylan, no?

Sad, regardless.

I was just reading Moses’ tweets. What is your take on what he is stating?

I was sexually abused when I was a child. My father did not believe me when I told him 20 years later. I have since broken all ties with him, but the pain of him not believing me is still strong.

In reply to Saurs. Thanks for the kind words! And you're absolutely right about the equal pay issue.

Yikes. Not Sorry You're Sorry but, Sorry Not Sorry. Sorry!

Penultimate para is an excellent example of why this blawg rules and others drool. There is a converse to the authentic and well-crafted apology, and it’s not a half-arsed, cowardly Sorry You’re Sorry.

I’ll also take this opportunity to note that among the white women who continue to protect Woody Allen, some notably agitate for closing the showbusiness gender gap but are conspicuously silent about supporting equal pay for their peers of color.
