Current outrage
Jeri Casper, web analyst:
"The myth of the male bumbler" explores how powerful men from Louis C.K. to Jeff Sessions employ our culture's "clueless man" myth to shirk responsibility. These men proclaim they didn't know what they were doing or didn't know what was going on, despite evidence that they are otherwise intelligent, confident and capable. Reading this, I recognized how this cultural conditioning shows up in my own life, when I assume the men who have abused me simply didn't mean to. We should all question this modus operandi and start holding people 100 percent accountable for their actions.
