Hundreds of thousands of people make excuses for him. And then the culture thinks it's okay. The victim is silenced. The predator is given voice and priority.

Our culture of Silence disgusts me, and I think it is WRONG to apologise for any rapist, no matter how 'nice' they can be. No matter how many different facets to their personality. If one of those facets is 'I raped someone,' they go into my 'pile of useless piece of shit human beings.'

And if one of my friends continues to apologise for rapists, despite knowing this stuff, they also go into that pile too, because I'm just a bitch that way.

As it turns out, there are a lot of useless piece of shit human beings out there.

(Sorry for swearing, but I totally agree with you.)
