Neil's released a statement on the accusations, I feel like he gives a good account of it, but we'll see how his accusers respond

:cripes:

All he had to do was say "I apologize for my behavior and would like to make amends." But of course he had to go in with his typical "well actually" bullshit.

How can someone so smart be this loving stupid?

I'm mad at NDT for digging his own grave with that indian handshake bullshit or saying he was just looking for Uranus under her dress when literally all he needed to say was "I'm sorry."

It's kind of a problem when any criticism of a public figure is treated as "rabid" or trying to ruin someone's life. That's how Kavanaugh got on the SC.

He can try to explain it all he wants, it doesn't make it appropriate behavior though.

Also I'm a huge loving nerd and I agonize constantly about my behavior around other people, especially women, so I don't think that's a good excuse.

I dont think he ever said it was acceptable tho.
He made the point that if he had realised he would have apologised on the spot.

I mean the real big one is the claim of drugging and raping a girl. Making a woman uncomfortable isn't great, sure, but it's not a crime either.

That's the problem though, he should have realized it.

Realized what, specifically? Because the shoulder thing, while creepy, seems like an odd reason to try and gently caress over a guy who has spent a while championing access to STEM for girls.

Nobody's trying to gently caress him over. Calling out bad behavior doesn't mean you're trying to ruin someone's life, and again, the fact that it keeps getting framed that way is a huge part of the problem.

And yeah, he should have realized that reaching under someone's clothes without their permission is pretty bad!

NDT deserves extra scrutiny because of his role as an ambassador of science. You can't attract women to STEM fields and then say "watch out for this guy, he's a little handsy, but he's a nerd so it's OK".

Generally I'm not sure if I agree with "*material thing* is a human right.". I think it would be a better world if everyone had food, shelter, health care, and personally fulfilling work, but I don't know if that makes those things "human rights."

I generally still view rights as things that you should be free to do, I guess.

You should be free to have adequate healthcare. Letting healthcare become so expensive that a huge portion of Americans can't afford it should be seen just the same as the government suppressing speech.
