The amount of TV "news" that I watch is virtually zero, so you're right about that -- I'm not used to asinine remarks and commentary such as she made.
In my opinion, her apology is a lie because, as I said, if it were HONESTLY fine with her for a boy to take ballet lessons, she wouldn't have used that tone of voice and laughed and made that stupid comment about it in the first place. The only apology that would have sounded sincere to me would be something along the lines of, "I deeply regret that outdated ideas about gender roles are so ingrained in me that I made an ignorant and harmful comment about the prince taking ballet lessons." |
