| I'm bothered by Spacey's "apology." Is an apology the moment to publicly come out? To me, it shifts the focus off (or TRIES to shift the focus off) what happened, which is that he tried to have sex with a 14 year old. What struck me in the article is how much Rapp sounds like a lot of the women we've been hearing from in recent weeks--he was horrified, at first he told no one, he was young, it bothered him for years...to me it's a reminder that this kind of assault doesn't just happen to women. I think he is right that this is the moment for people to speak. And yes, the Family Guy episode with the Kevin Spacey pedophile joke? This is clearly not an isolated incident. I hope others who may have been assaulted find some comfort and that more people speak out. |
