Suddenly realizing that 90% of these guys would survive the hit to their reputation if they announced *first*, “yes, I’ve done some of this, I’m apologizing, and I should have known better, sooner.” Not what you do with a history of criminal activity or legal exposure, but certainly for the “middle ground” of things men could get away with once. I’m sure they’ve completely forgotten *whom* they did this to, but *that* they did it, they know.
Why am I the first person to think of this? I don’t think I have anything that needs confession, but if I did, I would. George Takei
