I never went as far as to defend Gwyneth Paltrow, but after her Hot Ones appearance I created a post (which I will link in the comments) where I suggested that she’s done no more harm than male grifters and that the dislike of her as a person was primarily due to misogyny. That’s before I learned about her promotion of these unproven “vampire facials”. Now an unlicensed clinic performing this procedure has given at least three women HIV. You guys were right and I was wrong.

    I understand. I looked around for a “mea culpa” type of community but I couldn’t really find one. Mainly wanted to get it on the record that I know what a boob I’ve been. Do you have a suggestion as to a better place to post?

      Just reply to the people you were talking to and apologize. Maybe edit any comments where you said something incorrect and put the mea culpa there. I often do that if I get something wrong.

        Lot of commenters in the original post. Guess I was lazy. Also half of them probably blocked me.

        It’d be slick if editing a post notified commenters on that post, though I suppose it could be abused.
