Fellas, can we stop qualifying raging bigots as "they're a great person, they just have different views I don't agree with"????

I get needing to maintain professional respect for the good of your organization but newsflash, this dude is not a good person. You could sidestep it with just the second part of that sentence -- "he has views I don't agree with (but we're both committed to our team)" or some noncommittal bullshit and move on. But defending the man as a salve to disagreeing with his bigotry is negating your point.

This wasn't just some offhand ignorant comment; the guy was unhinged and insulted just about every equity group out there other than hetero white men. Including trying to drag Travis' own partner into it and knowing exactly what he was doing when he did it.

This shit is infuriating and white men defending and excusing unacceptable behaviour of white men is just so fucking tiring.

#sorry travis but this is a giant fucking miss for me and i'm incredibly disappointed #(same with jason)#(not that any of these people would know or care about my opinions lmao)#this is not an all sides type of thing #i appreciate that travis pivoted to saying his parents both shared domestic labour and work equally #and that that was an excellent example for him and he couldn't imagine it any other way #and that he was so grateful for his upbringing for growing up in a diverse area where he interacted with people of all walks of life #and that he found that beautiful and enriching and formative #but... the cognitive dissonance that all these men are displaying is so fucking frustrating #like ffs the guy didn't say this bullshit because he was speaking at a catholic university #he said it because he's a raging homophobic racist misogynist #miss me with the 'the beauty of being on a team is that everyone has different opinions but we all work together for a common goal'
